There's often a discussion of what happens when a wife makes more money than a husband. While various couples speak about the good, bad of it. Bollywood actors have been nothing but encouraging when their wife makes more money than them, in fact, they're their wife's loudest cheerleaders! Most fans laud Ranveer Singh for the most progressive and perfect husband a girl could get, but any moons before Ranveer tied the knot to Deepika Padukone, it was Abhishek Bachchan who set the internet into a collective meltdown with his love for one of the most gorgeous women in the world, Aishwarya Rai. 

Whether it was putting up a post of Aishwarya Rai walking down the red carpet at Cannes or sharing the cutest anniversary post for his ladylove, the couple was all things adorable.

Shoojit had questioned Abhishek on how would he respond to Aaradhya entering Bollywood to which he quoted, "No. But before I answer that, I would like to give this some context and perspective. The two women who are close to me, my mother and my wife have worked in the industry on their own terms. They’ve never been forced to do anything they didn’t want to do." 

"There’s a huge debate on gender parity in the film business and in other industries. I’ve worked in nine films with my wife and in eight of those, she’s got paid more than I have. The highest-paid actor in Piku was Deepika (Padukone). It’s a business and if you are a saleable actor, you get paid accordingly. You can’t be a new actress and demand to be paid the same as Shah Rukh Khan," said Abhishek.
