Abhishek Bachchan recalls when Oprah asked him about living with his parents

Abhishek Bachchan recently recalled his viral moment with the talk show host Oprah Winfrey and his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Abhishek was asked by Oprah about his living situation with his parents and Bachchan gave a befitting reply which had his fans doubling over with laughter.

It is no secret that in the US culture, kids don’t live with their parents after a certain age, but it is considered quite normal when it comes to Indian culture. Oprah had asked Abhishek, “You live with your parents? How does that work?” To which Bachchan had replied, “You live with your parents?”

In an interview with Good Times, Abhishek said, “It was a big deal for her. Later on, Aishwarya told me that the last time she had gone on Oprah, Oprah had asked the same thing. I think she said something like ‘I believe you all still live with your parents. What’s that like?’ Toh mujhe woh samajh me nhi aya, toh maine unse pucha (I didn’t understand, so I asked her), ‘Do you live with your parents? What’s that like?'”

He further added, “I said ‘hum log desi log hain, yaar. Humari pratha hai (We are Indians. This is our tradition). This is our normal’. But then, I realised, culturally in America woh hai nahi (It’s not the same). Woh 18 saal pe bahar nikal dete hain. Hum log sab biwi bachche sab milke (They leave home at the age of 18. We live with our family)…I like that. That whole joint family thing is nice.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Abhishek will be seen next in Dasvi with Rakul Preet Singh and Nimrat Kaur. The movie will release on Netflix on April 7, 2022.
