Now the video is going viral on the internet, but netizens are not pleased with Aishwarya Rai's remarks. Reacting to the video, they slammed the actress for taking the credit for normalising pregnancy in Bollywood and pointed out how she used to hide during her pregnancy.

Meanwhile, some netizens also called Aishwarya obnoxious and called her out for her 'pick me' attitude.
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."
