Abhishek Bachchan recently praised his wife and Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for being his emotional support. Abhishek said that Aishwarya has managed to deal with difficult times in her life with grace and dignity.

When asked if Aishwarya had a great impact on him, Abhishek said, "Of course, I think it's high time we just acknowledge that women are the superior species as compared to men and you know they just tend to put things into perspective. My wife is exceptional at that. She's always been an amazing emotional support for me. I've been very lucky, my entire family has been. The wonderful thing about having a life partner like Aishwarya is that she is from the business, she gets it. She has been doing it slightly longer than I have. So she knows the world. She has been through it all. So it's nice when you come home and if you've had a challenging day, you know that there's somebody who gets it."

The actor then added, "She has been somebody that I have always noticed has managed to traverse some of the most difficult times of her life with utmost dignity and grace. I really admire that about her. Actors are emotional people, we're very very hyper-sensitive. and there are times when we might just want to lash out and we kind of explode, you can only take so much. I've never seen her do that."

Aishwarya and Abhishek will be celebrating 15 years of marriage this month. The couple tied the knot on April 20, 2007. The couple welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, on November 16, 2011.
