Aishwarya Rai

Yeah, i know, it’s been dozen times that you might have heard that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is pregnant. There was always a false pregnancy reports over the years, variously triggered by sumptuous dinners, lack of exercise or an ill fitting dress. But this time, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is pregnant for real. It was confirmed by father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan.

On June 20th midnight, Amitabh Bachchan tweeted to his fans “NEWS NEWS NEWS !! I AM GOING TO BECOME A GRANDFATHER .. AISHWARYA EXPECTING .. SO HAPPY AND THRILLED !!!” So there is the confirmation by the Big B himself

It was just minutes that Amitabh disclosed the news, the family was flooded with congratulatory messages in both real and virtual worlds. “Overwhelmed with your wishes and blessings. 2843 new tweets in half an hour! Thank you all! Your affection and love is so touching” Amitabh Bachchan tweeted later.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, who recently celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary, this April, will be expecting their first child. The pair thanked their fans on Wednesday evening. They said “We are very happy and would like to thank all our well-wishers for their love, support and blessings“.

Abhishek Bachchan, is running high on emotions as he admits last night, as he quotes “We’ve all been trying to inform all our close friends about it. How do I feel? It’s not sunk in yet. There’s been no time. We’re still busy sharing the news with our friends. The realization will come later. Right now I’m, kind of, numb. It’s a big moment, yes.”

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, feels quiet the same way however is much more composed. She said “I guess it couldn’t be kept quiet. So now you know why I’ve been trying to stay out of the public eye lately. It’s still to sink in, really. Of course, Abhishek and I are super happy. But it is a matter of happiness for our entire family. And that makes all the difference“.

Amitabh Bachchan’s next tweets were:
“The child of Abhishek and Aishwarya shall be the first Bachchan of the generation after my brother and me …” soon followed by another tweet with clarification saying
“Clarifying : Amitabh and Ajitabh , first generation Bachchan … then Abhishek and Bhim and now Abhisheks and Aishwarya’s …”

Priyanka Chopra too showed her excitement as she tweeted “Congrats. Awesome news! Lets make way for the legacy to go forward”.

Aishwarya Rai is currently in Madhur Bhandarkar’s project called Heroine which is supposed to be finished with 45 days. So anytime in November, the film shooting shall be completed. Will Aishwarya’s pregnancy effect the shoot. Well, apparently, there is no reason why it will effect. According to a source “Madhur is not worried about Heroine’s promotions or how Ash’s pregnancy will affect the film’s success. We shouldn’t forget that Ash is a popular and successful actress and her getting married didn’t affect her fan following. She enjoys a loyal fan following and it will not be affected by her becoming a mom.” He also said “Madhur is looking to release the film around November this year and the promotional activities will be planned to suit Ash. For sure, the soon-to-be mom will be pampered by not just her family but her directors and co-stars too on the sets.”

After “Heroine”, Aishwarya Rai will not be seen on Silver Screen for a long long time…

Anyways, Congrats and Blessings to Aishwarya Rai and the whole Bachchan Pariwaar, from all her fans at AishwaryaWeb.com and it’s readers.

Aishwarya Rai turned heads in a floor sweeping Alberta Ferretti chiffon gown at GQ Men of the Year Awards 2010 at Hotel Grand Hyatt in Kalina, Mumbai on Sunday, September 26. She was accompanied to the event by husband Abhishek Bachchan.

AishwaryaRai Bachchan, wore a sleeveless gown with a draped skirt and fitted ruched bodice; it had jewel detail on the neck and shoulders. She accessorized with diamond stud earrings and a glittery clutch.

Her side swept hair, styled in structured waves, draped her left shoulder. She wore bronze lipstick, thick eyeliner and silver eye shadow.

Abhishek looked dapper in a three piece black suit, red and white tie and cropped hair.

The couple sat on the same table as John Travolta and bonded with each other. Aishwarya Rai presented John Travolta the GQ Legend award.

Abhishek Bachchan, who is on the cover of GQ’s latest issue, won the GQ Ultimate Man, while Aishwarya bagged the Excellence award.

Amitabh Bachchan started his day by sharing the news over twitter: “Abhishek and Aishwarya win GQ awards ..meet John Travolta ..found him humble and sweet ..they are off now on a flight ..and me on road”

It’s the world premiere of Mani Ratnam’s movie “Raavan” and the lovely couple Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan arrives in London in style. Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan with wife Jaya Bachchan also came along at the premiere along with the director Mani Ratnam and music guru A.R. Rehman!

The Bachchan’s family along with the cast and crew of “Raavan” arrived at British Film Institute Southbank complex next to the River Thames in central London where they were treated with red carpet with lots and lots of fans arriving to get a glimpse of the stars.

Aishwarya Rai looked resplendent and excruciatingly beautiful in a heavily embroidered Sabyasachi saree. The saree was pretty good, but Oh My God! The blouse was really really terrible. She walked the red carpet with husband Abhishek Bachchan wearing a long sleeve, high blouse with a boat neck that awkwardly revealed a lot of midriff through the sheer pallav of the sari. We didn’t get the point of combining a very modest neckline with a very immodest hemline making the blouse look like something you could wear to the gym for a workout. :lol .

Her blouse sleeves were covered with heavy white floral embroidery. Aishwarya Rai, accessorized with a black studded purse, diamond drop earrings and multiple rings in both her hands. Her hair was retro styled in a face slimming bouffant updo. Her make up was also pretty much retro style: Pink lip color, metallic eye shadow and thick black extended eye liner.

Shah Rukh Khan, wife Gauri and their two children joined the Bachchans on the occasion, adding considerable star power to the event at London’s BFI Southbank cinema.

 

Normally the Bachchans have a rigid rule about not mixing business with pleasure. But on Thursday morning, when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan landed in Mumbai from Paris, she broke the golden rule when she dropped in unannounced, to meet Abhishek at the Reliance Web World where he was doing out-of-town press interviews.

Says a source, “Lately Abhishek and Aishwarya have had very little time together. After their short anniversary holiday, Abhishek got busy with the shooting of Abhinay Deo’s Game in Greece while Aishwarya returned to India for a stint of Robot. She was then in Paris to honor the Brazilian tennis champ Gustavo Kuerten for his work with disadvantaged children.”

Says a source, ‘At the Charity Dinner that followed, Aishwarya bonded with Steffi Graf and Mary Pierce and kept missing Abhishek because he was a big fan of both.”

The minute she landed in Mumbai from Paris, Aishwarya asked the family driver to take her wherever Abhishek was. A first for her because normally she doesn’t intrude when her husband is working. Even when she joins him on long outdoors locations, she never hangs around the sets when he’s shooting.

Says a friend of Aishwarya, “This time she made an exception because she was missing Abhishek all the way from Paris to Mumbai. And besides, Abhishek was doing promotional work for their film together. She not only met him but also joined impromptu in the talk with their fans on radio from Jaipur and Ahmedabad.”

Says a family friend, “The funny part is, the Bachchans are never together these days. Now that Aishwarya is home, the senior Bachchan left for Paris, the city that Aishwarya left yesterday. In fact, their flights must have crossed each other.”

The doe-eyed beauty of India, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will soon be seen on the small screen. Well that’s the new buzz in Bolly Town. I am not sure if this story holds true. Aishwarya, our pretty pretty actress who has not been seen in any movies since her last hit, Guru, is all set for her next flick, Raavan. The Bachchan bahu has a number of projects lined up for her with some of best movie makers of the Indian film industry, with whom most of actors aspire of working with sometime. However the buzz that i was talking about is that there will be a new chat show with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the host/anchor.

The program for which Aishwarya will be the host is reportedly a chat show on national television. The complete details of the show have not been disclosed so far. The decision of showing her up on small screen was, in fact that of Amitabh Bachchan. He rather considers this as a ritual or shall i term it as tradition. He himself started it off with Big Boss and following him was Abhishek who is currently hosting a game show, Bingo.

Aishwarya Rai’s fans who have been waiting desperately for a glance of her, this can be the moment. This is indeed a double treat.

Hopefully this news is true and there will really be a chat show. I remember last time there was a rumor that Aishwarya will be one of the judge for India’s Got Talent but nothing like that ever came up. Anyways, hoping this to be true.
