Quoted by News 18, the 75-year-old actress stated, “We went through different kind of failures in different phases of my life.

It’s nice to be silently standing there and saying listen I am here for you.” ALSO READ: Jaya Bachchan On Staying Away From Social Media: ‘There's Enough That The World Knows About Us’
Countering her mother’s view, Shweta added, “No, Mumma! I don’t agree. Sometimes all a man needs is some idea which then they can work on. I would like to play a more proactive role and look for a solution because I’m a problem solver.”
For the unversed, Sr Bachchan went through a very rough time in the '90s, when his company went bankrupt. He had gone on to reveal that he had a debt of Rs 90 crore. Recalling the entire experience and creditors would knock on their doors every day, he shared that it was “very embarrassing, very humiliating.” He went on to succeed in life after late producer Yash Chopra offered him a role in Shah Rukh Khan-Aishwarya Rai starrer Mohabbatein. He went on to host his famous quiz-based Kaun Banega Crorepati, which is to date one of the most well-loved reality shows on Indian television.
