Netizens react to Jaya Bachchan’s viral video

An Instagram user wrote, “I think Karishma would have faced the same thing that Aishwarya is facing…it is a powerful family with a lot of unity between the Bachchans…survival is difficult and challenging. Strong women cannot handle such families because they step up and speak up for themselves. I think an arranged marriage would be best for Bachchan Jr… just someone with a business background.” Another commented: “Karisma managed to escape… Poor Aish.” A third comment read: “After this, Karishma missed out on the happiness of life… Abhishek is a very cultured person. All this is not money.” A fourth comment read: “It would be the best decision for both of them.”
