Amitabh Bachchan broke his silence on the question of never praising his wife and daughter-in-law publicly.

What Amitabh said

In a new post, Amitabh shared a pair of pictures of himself waving at fans who had gathered to meet him at Jalsa. In the caption, he wrote, “Yes, I praise Abhishek. So?”

In the comments, a user wrote, “Toh you should also praise your daughter, daughter in law, wife the same way.” In response, Amitabh responded, “Yes I shall praise them in my heart.. not publicly.. respect for the ladies.”

Amitabh replied in the comments section of his Facebook post.

Another user commented, “Paid fans.” In response, Amitabh replied, “prove it! You are small minded… why don't you pay and get your fans too.” A second fan called Abhishek a ‘mature and responsible person in the whole family’ in the comments. Amitabh replied, “He has love and respect and dignity and care for all.”
