Netizens speculate what happened between Aishwarya and Shweta Bachchan

However, to netizens’ surprise, Shweta Bachchan stated that Aishwarya is perfect as she is and that she does not need any advice from them. She further praised Aishwarya’s patient nature. So, what went wrong? Why did what started a happy family turn into a messy and dysfunctional one? Well, this clip seemed to change a few people’s opinions of Shweta Bachchan.

Redditors speculate the reason for the seemingly bad spat between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan. A commenter opined that something must have happened behind doors that caused the beef between them and that neither of them is the victim. “Things change, times change, people change. Maybe their relationship changed too. Maybe both of them did a little bit of something,” read the comment.

Another netizen refused to take sides as no one really knows what an actor’s real personality is off-camera. Meanwhile, another netizen played devil’s advocate and wrote,” People are ignoring all the good things Shweta has said about Aishwarya and making her a villain, just because of a seconds-long clip from a wedding reception.”
