Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, one of Indian cinema’s most influential global icons, has always been fiercely protective of her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. Recently, the actress once again reiterated the importance of maintaining a child’s privacy, confirming that her daughter is not present on any social media platform—a revelation that comes amid the rising number of fake accounts appearing online under Aaradhya’s name.
During a conversation at a recent event, Aishwarya opened up about motherhood, the pressures of growing up in the spotlight, and the larger challenges that come with being part of an iconic film family. She stressed that, although her daughter has grown up surrounded by media attention due to her family’s legacy, Aaradhya has been raised to value humility, privacy, and balance.
According to Aishwarya, despite the world assuming otherwise, Aaradhya has no official social media presence. “Some well-wisher once made a profile using her name,” she revealed, adding that the Bachchan family had to request the platform to remove it. The actress clarified that her daughter is still too young to participate in the unpredictable world of online interactions and has no interest in stepping into that space—not until she is mature enough to understand and handle it responsibly.
Aishwarya explained that children today are constantly exposed to digital influences, and although technology has its advantages, it also brings major risks. “As a mother, I’m very cautious. Social media can empower, but it can also overwhelm. Aaradhya will join it only when she’s ready,” she said.
The actress highlighted that her daughter’s upbringing has been intentionally rooted away from unnecessary public pressure. Despite being part of the illustrious Bachchan family, Aaradhya maintains a low-profile lifestyle, focusing mainly on academics, extracurricular activities, and personal growth. Aishwarya shared that she often has heartfelt conversations with her daughter about staying grounded, managing expectations, and understanding the value of genuine human connection beyond digital metrics like likes and followers.
Aishwarya also acknowledged the overwhelming curiosity that surrounds Bollywood star kids. Fans, paparazzi, and even well-intentioned admirers often create narratives or online identities for these children without realizing the long-term effects. She expressed concern about how misinformation spreads quickly, especially when it involves minors. “When a fake profile claims something or posts something, people assume it’s her. That’s unfair to a child,” she said firmly.
The former Miss World further explained that the family is not opposed to social media, but they believe in introducing it responsibly. “It’s easy to get carried away on social platforms. Kids today can feel judged or pressured without even realizing it. As adults, we must protect them until they can navigate it with confidence,” she added.
Interestingly, Aishwarya also revealed that Aaradhya herself is aware of these fake accounts. The young Bachchan reportedly finds it amusing at times but also confusing—why would someone pretend to be her? Aishwarya said moments like these turn into teachable discussions about digital identity, safety, and values.
Beyond the issue of social media, Aishwarya also spoke about motherhood shaping her life. She mentioned that every decision—whether professional or personal—now revolves around her daughter’s well-being. “My world changed the day she was born. Everything I do is with her best interest in mind,” she said with emotion.
The actress also praised Aaradhya for being understanding despite the constant attention that comes with belonging to a high-profile family. Whether accompanying her mother to Cannes or appearing at public events with her grandparents Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, Aaradhya carries herself with confidence and grace. Aishwarya credits this to the strong value system the family practices at home.
As celebrities and their families grapple with privacy in the digital era, Aishwarya’s firm stance on protecting her daughter has resonated deeply with fans. Many believe her approach sets a positive example for other public figures navigating similar challenges with their children.
In the end, Aishwarya’s message was simple but powerful: Let children be children. Let them grow, explore, learn, and enjoy life without the pressure and noise of the social media world. Aaradhya will eventually find her voice online—but only when she chooses to, and only when she is ready.
