Aishwarya Rai addresses commentary about her relationship with her parents, arguing that living with them is not “independence.” In the remarks highlighted by NDTV, she frames time together as limited and valuable, rather than implying any lack of autonomy.
She says she and her family “hardly get to meet” except on an occasional day when they can spend time together, typically around a shared dinner. She characterizes these moments as rare and something the family cherishes.
The coverage focuses on her defense of cohabitation and her view of family time, with the emphasis on personal experience rather than detailing broader policy or public debate. In the excerpts provided, the central angle is her counter to the idea that distance from parents equates to independence.
