‘I Am Busy Taking Care Of Aaradhya, Being With Abhishek…’: Aishwarya Rai On Not Signing Films

Mumbai: Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made heads turns as she walked the red carpet of the Red Sea Film Festival 2025, held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The actress opened up about her personal and professional life, saying she isn’t insecure about not signing any films of late as she is quite busy taking care of her daughter Aaradhya and being with her husband Abhishek Bachchan.

Sharing how motherhood defines her life as much as her career, Aishwarya told Hollywood Reporter India, “I’m so busy taking care of Aaradhya, being with Abhishek, that I don’t get insecure if I don’t sign a film. Insecurities have never been a driving force for me.”

In a viral video from the event, Aishwarya revealed, “I don’t get insecure. I think that’s a very, very, very real aspect of who I am. Insecurities have never been a driving force, which a lot of the voices around can try and get in your head and can sometimes propel choices. That is something that has never been me. That’s a clarity also. All my career choices, unknowingly but now in retrospect, I displayed from the beginning, because I mean if I came in from a pageant it was about ‘what’s the big launch when I come into movies’. And I remember Mani Ratnam telling me, ‘Iruvar is not really a launch film. It’s a movie. It’s a story. It’s not about launching Aishwarya.’ And I was like ‘Wow, that’s the movie that I want to do.’ Because that’s the movie that I want to be a part of.”

She added, “I remember after Devdas, it felt like a crescendo, right? People were like, ‘So now what’s the next big film after that?’ Because how much bigger than Devdas can it become? And I did Chokher Bali with Rituparno Ghosh. I was like, ‘Wow! What a beautiful story. That’s the movie I want to do.’ So, in that sense, it isn’t the predictability. Or probably, that is the path one needs to take, I don’t know. But having come thus far in my journey, I’m grateful. I have all your love, I have all your support, I have the industry of talents.”
