Abhishek Bachchan gets trolled for living with parents; gives it back in equal measure

Don’t feel bad about your life. Just remember @juniorbachchan still lives with his parents. Keep hustling everyone!

“Yes! And it’s the proudest moment for me to be able to be there for them, as they have for me. Try it sometime, you might feel better about yourself,” he wrote, as a reply to Ybn.

Interestingly, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, as a guest on David Letterman’s late-night talk show, had answered a similar question with just as much panache. When Letterman had asked if she lives with her parents and she had responded in the affirmative, he asked her if it is okay for “older women” to do so. Her reply was a classy “It’s fine to live with your parents because it’s also common in India that we don’t have to take appointments with our parents to meet for dinner.”

Not to forget how Abhishek and Aishwarya’s interview with Oprah Winfrey who wanted to know how does living in a joint family work.

His response amassed a lot of support from others on the micro-blogging site, meanwhile.

Abhishek, you don’t owe any explanation to anyone on why you chose to live with your parents and not seperately. To be with one’s parents, to be able to take care of them in their old age is not something which everyone can do. I wish I could be with my parents all the time.

I believe it was #AishwaryaRaiBachchan who taught Mr. Letterman that Indians don’t believe in taking appointments with their parents for dinner. It is rather unfortunate if you feel an extra sense of glory or pride in living away from home. You must be fun at those dinners.
