When Jaya Bachchan wanted Aishwarya Rai to shoulder her burdens, Shweta Bachchan advised against it: ‘Ease her into it’ 

After learning how Jaya regularly vents about her problems to Shweta,  KJo said, “Now you’ll be sharing some of the issues with your daughter-in-law now. There will be Ash, who will come and take some of the burdens off your shoulders.” Jaya answered, “Hopefully. I am hoping that she will take a lot more than just ‘some’.” KJo cut in, “So you want to give her lots more?” Shweta answered, “Don’t do that mom. It’s scary and intimidating, to which Jaya Bachchan answered, “What rubbish.” Shweta added, “Slowly ease her into it. ” Karan explained, “The Bachchan way of life?” While Jaya agreed, Shweta said, “It’s not that hard.”

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya got married in 2007 in an intensely private ceremony. Many stars were not invited to the wedding, including Shatrughan Sinha, who returned the card. In 2010, Abhishek opened up about his wedding in an appearance on Koffee with Karan, with Aishwarya Rai. He explained that his family didn’t want to make it a grand affair as it didn’t seem right then. “People are forgetting a major reason why our family wanted to keep it intimate. I had an ailing grandmother in the hospital and my father said, ‘You know, we do not feel good about going out there and having a good celebration’. Did I want to invite? Did her family want to invite the whole world? Yes. Our parents, altogether, sent out a card seeking the blessings of everybody.”
