Ahead of the couple’s wedding in 2007, Jaya took to the opportunity at an awards event to welcome Aishwarya into the family.
At the Filmfare Awards when Jaya was onstage to present an award, she utilised the chance to officially welcome her family’s newest member.
Aishwarya, who was sitting in the audience next to Abhishek was left with teary eyes at the heartfelt gesture.
Speaking onstage, Jaya said:
“I am going to be a mother-in-law all over again to a wonderful lovely girl who has great values, has great dignity and a lovely smile.

“She’s lovely, I love her. You know I have always loved her.”
Jaya was also asked if she believes Aishwariya was the perfect addition for her family. She said:
“I think so. I think it’s wonderful because she is such a big star herself. But when we all are together, I have never ever seen her push herself.”
Jaya continued to mention what she likes about her daughter-in-law. She revealed:
“I like that quality that she stands behind, she’s quiet, she listens and she’s taking it all in.”
She also revealed how Aishwariya fits into the family saying:
“Another beautiful thing is she’s fitted in so well. Not just into the family, but she knows that this is family, these are good friends, this is how one is supposed to be.
“I think she’s a strong lady, she has a lot of dignity.”
In fact, it is not only Jaya Bachchan who is fond of Aishwarya. She went on to mention that Amitabh Bachchan looks at Aishwarya like, “Sweta coming home.”
