'She had to struggle..'; Amitabh Bachchan's tweet on Aishwarya Rai going viral

In 2011 Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were blessed with their first child Aaradhya. The news made it into the headlines all across the country but nobody would have been more happier than the senior Bachchan. As of now, things have changed and there are rumours of growing tension between Aishwarya and Abhishek. It was said that their marriage had fallen apart and the next stop would be divorce. Amidst these rumours of a possible split, the internet has brought back the 2011 tweet from Amitabh Bachchan praising his daughter-in-law, Aishwarya, for enduring pain during labour. The tweet first appeared some days back on Reddit, and within no time turned into a talking matter.

“This was a normal delivery even though these days’ people opt for C-section and other things. But Aishwarya wanted a normal delivery, 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, said she wanted a normal delivery. She did not use any epidural or painkiller." wrote Amitabh back in 2011.

This old tweet for Bachchan has not bode well on social media now. Many came with cutting remarks for Amitabh Bachchan’s lack of awareness over the issue. Some said the pain tolerance level would differ within people and what counts is ensuring that the mother and child remain healthy.
