The Bachchans are known for keeping their family matters private. But in a rare moment, Shweta Bachchan Nanda opened up about her famous family during an appearance on Karan Johar ’s chat show ‘ Koffee With Karan ’. Sitting alongside her brother Abhishek Bachchan , Shweta shared what she truly feels about her sister-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her younger brother.

Praising Aishwarya : ‘A self-made, strong woman’
While many have often wondered what the Bachchans think of each other behind closed doors, Shweta offered a rare insight. When asked about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, she didn’t hold back her praise.

“She is a self-made, strong woman and a fantastic mother,” Shweta said, clearly admiring Aishwarya’s strength and dedication. The actress, who married into the Bachchan family in 2007, has always maintained a low profile when it comes to family life. But it’s clear she has earned respect within the home.

What does Shweta hate about Aishwarya?
However, Shweta didn’t shy away from pointing out what annoys her about her sister-in-law. She admitted that she "tolerates" Aishwarya’s way of managing her time but hates that the actress "takes forever to return calls and messages." It was a playful yet honest moment that gave audiences a rare peek into their relationship.

Honest words about brother Abhishek
Shweta also spoke openly about her bond with Abhishek, who sat right next to her during the show. Like any sister, she had both praise and playful criticism ready for him.

“I love that he is a very loyal and dedicated family man. Not just as a son but also as a husband,” she said. It was a sweet moment that showed her admiration for how Abhishek handles his roles within the family.

Still, Shweta didn’t hold back when it came to what gets under her skin. “Where do I start? I hate that he thinks he knows it all,” she admitted with a laugh, showing the classic sibling honesty many can relate to. When asked what she tolerates about him, she added, “I tolerate his sense of humour.”

Choosing a different path
While her entire family has made a name in Bollywood , Shweta took a different route. She chose not to become an actor, instead focusing on writing and fashion. She has a successful fashion label and has also written a book. “I don’t think I have the talent or the face to be a heroine. I’m happy where I am,” she said, making it clear that acting was never her calling.

A low-key life outside the spotlight
Shweta Bachchan married businessman Nikhil Nanda in February 1997. The couple has two children – Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya Nanda. While Navya is now studying at IIM Ahmedabad and also gaining attention on social media and Agastya has stepped into acting, Shweta herself keeps a low profile.
