Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are one of the most loved couples in Bollywood. They are fiercely private about their personal lives and prefer to keep things under wraps. For the unversed, Aishwarya and Abhishek tied the knot in 2007, and they welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan in 2011. The duo is extremely protective of their daughter and loves their family members immensely.
In a throwback interview, Abhishek Bachchan opened up about how his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan taught him to be grateful about the more important things in life rather than getting upset over trivial matters. Speaking on Raj Shamani’s podcast, the actor shared that she always told him that having a healthy and happy family is the greatest blessing in life. Abhishek said:
“You can come back and you can be irritated about anything. You know nowadays if you’re in Mumbai you’re irritated about the traffic also. And sometimes she’s like, ‘What are you getting so hyper about? Calm down, you know there are more important things? You’ve come home and you have a healthy happy family'.”

Abhishek also recalled the time when he returned home from the hospital during the pandemic, Aishwarya told him that they were very lucky as many families had been ravaged by the deadly virus back then. However, Abhishek was worried about earning money as they all were sitting at home. At that time, Aishwarya taught him that having a happy family is the most important. The actor recalled:
“During Covid, my father, my wife, my daughter and I were all in hospital at the same time. I was the last one to come home. When I came back home, she said, ‘You know we’re so lucky that we’re all still here. There are so many families that have been ravaged by Covid'. And I was like, ‘You know you’re right because I was thinking, ghar par baithe hai, kaam nahi ho raha hai, kamaai kahan se hogi.’ She said, ‘You have got a healthy family. What more can you want?”
Abhishek then praised Aishwarya and mentioned that whenever somebody asks him how his family is, he simply tells them that everyone is healthy. Talking about the same, the actor shared that Aishwarya taught him one of the greatest lessons in his life and called it an amazing process. Abhishek concluded:
“Whenever I’m asked, ‘Oh, how’s the family?’ I say, ‘They’re healthy.’ She just puts those priorities into place and I think it was amazing for her to say when I thought about it.”
