00:00I think it's wonderful because she's such a big star herself, but when we are all together I have never ever seen her push herself.
00:10She's quiet, she listens, and she's taking it all in.
00:14Amitji, the minute he sees her, it's like looking at Shweta coming home.
00:18Oh really?
00:19His eyes light up.
00:22It's been such a long journey for you from being such a big actress,
00:26then to being a wife of a superstar, then such a wonderful mother to your wonderful children, Abhishek and Shweta.
00:32And you've come a full circle as a mother.
00:34You've been through all their lives.
00:36I mean, been through all of Amit uncle's health issues, his bout as a politician, his turbulence within the fraternity.
00:43And you've, I think, been a strong support system to him.
00:46And then you went on to repeat the same support and give the same support to your son
00:50when he went through an initial phase where he wasn't doing as well as one expected him to.
00:55How was that phase, I mean, as a mother?
00:57It was tough.
00:59It was very tough because I felt that it is important for him to go through the struggle, learn the whole process himself.
01:10I mean, I was tempted many times to do things for him or tell things and say, don't do this and don't do that.
01:19Well, you were a tremendous support to your husband and now he's found someone special.
01:23Yeah, she's lovely. I love her.
01:25You do?
01:26You know, I've always loved her.
01:29Yes, I know you have. And I think you would say that she is the perfect choice for the family.
01:33I think so. I think it's wonderful because she's such a big star herself.
01:40But when we are all together, I have never ever seen her push herself.
01:45Yes.
01:46You know, and I like that quality.
01:48I like it that she stands behind, she's quiet, she listens and she's taking it all in.
01:55And another beautiful thing is she's fitted in so well.
01:59Into the family.
02:00Yes, not only into the family, she knows this is family, these are good friends and this is how one is supposed to be.
02:08And I think she's doing…
02:10Someone would say she is the ideal Mrs. Abhishek Bachchan.
02:12I think so.
02:14Well, that's wonderful because I know when I see you around her, I get that.
02:18I get that you're really thrilled.
02:19You're thrilled that she's going to be part of the family.
02:21But does that ever bother you that she's coming with this baggage of being such a big star herself?
02:26No, not at all.
02:27And that it can, you know, sometimes be difficult.
02:29No, I think she's a strong lady.
02:31Yes.
02:32She's a lot of dignity and I think…
02:34And that's what a Bachchan, Mrs. Bachchan definitely needs, strength and dignity.
02:38And hoping, I mean, Amitji, the minute he sees her, it's like looking at Shweta coming home.
02:44Oh, really?
02:45His eyes light up.
02:46I mean, I think she'll fill the vacuum that Shweta left.
02:50I mean, we've never been able to adjust that Shweta's not in the family, she's out, she's not a Bachchan.
02:57It's tough but, you know, I mean, so I think…
03:01Well, I'm sure she's going to be ideal for the family, we all believe that.
03:04I think so, I think so.
