A Candid Moment on 'Koffee With Karan'

Shweta Bachchan Nanda once revealed what she dislikes about her sister-in-law, Aishwarya Rai, in a candid exchange that has continued to resurface as a memorable moment from an old episode of the popular chat show "Koffee With Karan."

The Question That Prompted the Reveal

During the episode featuring Shweta and her actor brother, Abhishek Bachchan, host and filmmaker Karan Johar asked Shweta about what she loves, hates, and tolerates about her sister-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, a classic format used on the show to draw out candid, often lighthearted family dynamics.

What Shweta Loves About Aishwarya

Shweta responded by saying that she absolutely loves the fact that Aishwarya is a self-made woman and a fantastic mother, offering genuine praise before moving on to the more playful part of the question.

The One Thing She Dislikes

Revealing the thing she dislikes about Aishwarya, Shweta said that she takes forever to return calls and messages. Shweta added that she tolerates Aishwarya's time management skills. "I hate that she takes forever to return phone calls and messages. I tolerate her time management," she said, offering a light, relatable complaint rather than anything more serious.

A Surprising Rapid-Fire Answer

During the rapid-fire round of the episode, Karan Johar had asked Shweta, "Who is the better actor, Abhishek or Aishwarya?" Without taking a moment to deliberate, Shweta chose her brother, a response that left many viewers surprised given Aishwarya's own considerable standing in the film industry.

Abhishek's Revealing Moment About Fear

Another viral moment from the episode came when Abhishek revealed who he is more scared of, his wife Aishwarya or his mother Jaya Bachchan. Karan asked Abhishek directly, "Who are you more scared of, your wife or your mother?" to which Abhishek replied, "My mother." However, Shweta interjected with "Wife," prompting Abhishek to tell her, "It's my rapid fire, be quiet," a lighthearted sibling exchange that added to the episode's overall playful tone.

How Abhishek and Aishwarya's Story Began

If reports are to be believed, Abhishek and Aishwarya first met back in 1999 for the photo shoot of their first project together, "Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke," marking the earliest point of their professional and eventually personal connection.

A Journey Through Multiple Films Before Marriage

After working on multiple projects together, including "Kuch Naa Kaho," "Dhoom 2," "Sarkar Raj," "Umrao Jaan," "Guru," and "Raavan," Aishwarya and Abhishek finally tied the knot on April 20, 2007, in a grand traditional ceremony attended by family and friends, capping off years of on-screen collaboration with a real-life union.

Welcoming Their Daughter

Taking the next step in their journey, they welcomed their first child together, daughter Aaradhya, on November 16, 2011, adding another chapter to a relationship that has remained closely followed by fans and media alike since its earliest days, including candid, humanising moments like this one shared on "Koffee With Karan."
