Recalling the moment, Amitabh spoke about how Aishwarya insisted on a normal delivery and refused any form of pain relief. As stated by News 18, Big B said, “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.”

Amitabh Bachchan has long been protective of the women in his family. In 2010, when a Mumbai tabloid falsely claimed that Aishwarya was unable to conceive, he penned a strong blog post condemning the report. “I write to you today in deep anguish, pain and disgust. This article is completely false, completely fabricated, unsubstantiated, insensitive and of the lowest quality of journalism there ever was,” he wrote, as quoted by PTI.In his post, Amitabh Bachchan drew boundaries for his family’s dignity, stating, “I am head of my family. Aishwarya is not my daughter-in-law, she is my daughter, a woman, a lady in my house and home. If anyone will talk derogatorily about her, I will fight for her until my last breath.”
