Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of the most powerful women in this world and truly power-packed in her ideologies. She has time and again proved to be India’s proud daughter. From winning the 1994 Miss World title to becoming the first woman to hoist the Indian flag at Federation Square, Melbourne in 2017, Aishwarya has come a long way where only a handful would ever dream to.

Now, in what could be described as another feather in her cap of glory are her statements on mothers which are being immensely praised everywhere. As we all know that Aishwarya is a mother to the 6-year-old baby girl, Aaradhya Bachchan, so naturally, she knows what it means to be a mother, and she has always been vocal about the same.

In one of the episodes of the on-going Indian Idol 10, when contestant Indira Das' mother asked Aishwarya about her views on the housewives of the country, former Miss World proudly replied, “The housewives are the biggest CEOs in the country and they should be given utmost respect and appreciation in the country. I doff my hat off with full respect and appreciation to all the housewives of the country and the world”.
To this, one of the judges of the show and music-composer, Vishal Dadlani commented, “Aishwarya Rai Bachchan being one of the most beautiful women in the world is just like any other housewife. As I remember on one of my music world tours when Amitabh Bachchan ji had invited me and the whole crew to his suite for a dinner party, the world's most beautiful lady Aishwarya Rai Bachchan served dinner with her own hands to each and every member of the crew. She served them dessert as well, after which she had her meal”.
Aishwarya Rai has always been vocal about her takes on being a mother, a bahu, a wife and an actress. To a media portal, she was once quoted as saying, “The absolute unknown, most beautiful and blessed out learning phase has been motherhood! I am eternally grateful to God and Aaradhya that I had and am continuing to have this incredible challenge. I say this often and sometimes, people feel I’m being flowery, but it’s true. Motherhood is the most beautiful fatigue. It’s relaxing. It’s invigorating”. (Suggested Read: Kareena Kapoor Khan Hugs Her Step-Daughter, Sara Ali Khan On A Dinner Date With Saif Ali Khan)

She further added, “Even if you are tired, you would rather spend that time with your child. I have never been the one to talk about the loss of sleep. I have done it all on my own and just kept one girl with me and I will let her eat and sleep and I will do everything. I have never kept a posse of maids and nannies. Even if it’s hard work, it’s my choice. I am not remotely complaining nor am I judging. These are the choices I have made and that’s the life I have been leading”.
She had also spoken about motherhood, “I don’t think it’s fair to compare or gloat about that. I am the mother that I want to be and I keep saying this — being a working mother is immensely challenging because any parent, especially those who have to go to work early in the morning, cannot see their kids for hours. It’s not easy. Nobody wants to leave their kid and go work. I do admit that if the nature of my job allows for me to be able to have my child along, not feel the lack of my presence, then I am going to make the effort to accomplish that and at the same time, give her a very normal childhood and be a very normal mother to her daughter”.

Going on, she had added, “I do refer to my filming locations as an office because I want Aaradhya to understand that I am a working mother who goes to office because that’s what it should be. ‘Shooting’ is a very strange term to her. Honestly, though, I never thought about it before marriage. Now I think it’s a really weird term. I’ve become conscious of the words I use around her, how she would interpret them. Like a shot is being taken, but why would you say that to a kid and so on. She is familiar with the visual medium but I have never allowed her to get hooked on to it”.
Rightly said Aishwarya! Being a housewife is the toughest job in this world and undeniably, housewives are the biggest CEOs in this world.
