Earlier, during a media interaction, Amitabh Bachchan opened up about his daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and revealed that she had denied epidurals and painkillers during her delivery. Talking about the same, he shared that instead of opting for a C-section, the actress wanted to go for a normal delivery even though she faced some complications. Recalling how Aish was in acute labour for almost three hours, Big B said:
"We went there on the 14th night. The doctors had told us that the baby could arrive anytime now. On the 16th morning, she delivered the baby. This was a normal delivery even though these days people opt for C-section and other things. But Aishwarya wanted a normal delivery. She had to struggle, but I commend her that she was in acute labour for a long time, almost 2-3 hours. But she persisted and said she wanted a normal delivery. She did not use any epidural or painkiller."
