A touching old video of Jaya Bachchan is trending again, and it’s melting hearts all over the internet. The clip is from the 2007 Filmfare Awards when she received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
It’s not just the award that caught attention, but her emotional speech for Aishwarya Rai. At the time, Aishwarya was months away from marrying Jaya’s son, Abhishek Bachchan.
On stage, Jaya tearfully welcomed Aishwarya into the Bachchan family. She called her a “wonderful, lovely girl” with “great values” and said, “Love you.”
Aishwarya, seated in the audience, was visibly emotional. Even Amitabh Bachchan had tears in his eyes during the heartfelt moment.
Fans are loving the resurfaced video, saying it shows the strong bond within Bollywood’s most iconic family. Social media users are sharing it widely and calling it “pure gold.”
Jaya has praised Aishwarya before too. On ‘Koffee With Karan’, she called her the perfect fit for their family, full of dignity and strength.
