New Delhi, May 23: A light-hearted moment from a past episode of Koffee With Karan featuring Bollywood siblings Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan Nanda has set social media abuzz once again. In the viral video, show host Karan Johar puts Abhishek in a tight spot with a cheeky rapid-fire question: "Who are you more scared of, your wife or your mother?"
Abhishek initially replies with a diplomatic, "My mother," referring to veteran actress Jaya Bachchan. But sister Shweta promptly jumps in with a mischievous smile, correcting him with a blunt, "Wife." To that, Abhishek jokingly retorts, "It's my rapid fire, be quiet," leaving audiences in splits. Fans have been widely sharing and reacting to the clip, lauding the candid sibling banter.
Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, often dubbed the "Queen of Cannes", made yet another dazzling appearance at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival 2025. She graced the red carpet in a white saree with gold detailing, followed by a stunning black gown for her second outing. The global icon, who represents L’Oreal Paris, continues her nearly two-decade-long tradition of representing India at the international event.
On the professional front, Abhishek Bachchan recently created a buzz with the announcement of his upcoming historical epic, "Raja Shivaji", directed by Riteish Deshmukh. The film, which features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Bhagyashree, Fardeen Khan, Jitendra Joshi, and Amole Gupte, is slated to release on Maharashtra Day – May 1, 2026.
Produced under the Mumbai Film Company banner by Genelia Deshmukh, who also stars in the project, the film aims to be a grand tribute to the Maratha warrior king.
On the personal front, Abhishek and Aishwarya, who tied the knot in a private ceremony on April 20, 2007, at the Bachchan residence Prateeksha in Juhu, Mumbai, continue to be one of Bollywood’s most celebrated couples. The couple’s daughter Aaradhya, born in 2011, often accompanies her mother during international appearances.
With Abhishek's film on the horizon and Aishwarya's continued global presence, the Bachchan family remains firmly in the public spotlight—be it for their cinematic endeavors or endearing family moments.
