Aishwarya Rai 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.

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”

Aishwarya n Abhishek

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.

Aishwarya & Abhishek

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.”

Aishwarya Rai

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.

Our green eyed princess is undoubtedly the most beautiful women in this world. And when she wears green, then it’s going to be magical. Aishwarya looked stunning hot at Laila Khan’s wedding reception and literally stole the show when she arrived at the wedding party. All the eyes were glued to her when she arrived wearing a low neck, green colored salwar kameez. And my oh my, was she looking so pretty.

Aishwarya Rai was accompanied by Abhishek Bachchan and dad-in-law Amitabbh Bachchan. not sure if Jaya Bachchan was present there as well but yes they did have company of good old friend Amar Singh.

Anyways, Laila Khan got married to Farhan Furniturewala. This is not the first time she is getting married. She earlier got married to Rohit Rajpal but they separated soon. So all is well that ends well. Congratulations to Laila and Farhan. And Muaaahhh to the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai.

Aishwarya Abhishek

Last year both were busy shooting for movies. Abhishek was in Miami shooting for the movie “Dostana” and Ash surprised him by paying him a visit on the sets, on their anniversary. But of course they did not get too much time for themselves.

This year also, both were busy shooting for Mani Ratnam’s “Raavan” and the kinda of professionals both Ash-Abhi are, they refused to take some time off from the shoot, even when Mani Ratnam insisted. Few days back Aishwarya Rai was bruised on the sets of Raavan. And so i am guessing this made the couple change their mind and they headed off to an undisclosed location, most probably somewhere in US, for their second honeymoon.

Abhishek’s father Amitabh Bachchan on his blog, said that the couple was taking a flight to New York. Some other source close to the couple said, “The two have gone to an undisclosed destination and will be back in time for the music release of Raavan on April 24.”

Abhishek Bachchan too posted on his Twitter page: “It’s Houdini time again. Have managed to abduct the wife. See you all soon.”

According to another source, the duo have been planning this holiday so that they could spend some time together after keeping busy with their respective shooting schedules.

Last year, the actors took out time for a week-long vacation while they were shooting for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, which is among their most awaited films this year.

The couple got married in 2007 in a grand wedding ceremony at Bachchan’s residence Prateeksha in Mumbai. Just for your information

Use comments feature to wish Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan, a happy wedding anniversary!!!

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan is deeply angered over a latest media report that Aishwarya Rai, his daughter-in-law and wife of son Abhishek Bachchan, can’t have a baby right now because she’s suffering from stomach tuberculosis. Amitabh referred to the Mumbai mirror story as “completely false, completely fabricated, unsubstantiated, insensitive and of the lowest quality of journalism there ever was.” An understandably pained Amitabh Bachchan added, “I am too incensed and angered by the contents above !! Not a single portion of the article is true !! I have much to comment upon on this, but shall hold on till another day. For the moment I have only this to say. I am the head of my family. Aishwarya is not my daughter – in – law, she is my daughter, a woman, a lady in my house and home. If anyone will speak derogatorily about her, I shall fight for her till my last breath. If you have something to say to the men in the house, Abhishek or me, I shall bear it. But .. if you shall make injudicious remarks on the women in my home, I shall not tolerate it !!!”

Abhishek Bachchan had some similar sentiments on his twitter account. He said “The article is disgusting and appalling! As a husband and a man i’m shocked that one can talk so irresponsibly about a woman, that too FALSELY!! on a personal note, as a husband i will not stand for such rubbish being written about my wife.”
He added “i have never reacted to all the fabricated stories written by the media about me and my own. BUT THIS IS THE LIMIT!!!”
“You want to write and malign me or my father i will take it. but the ladies of my home are off limits! they’ve gone too far this time.”

You know, it’s good to see someone going this far to protect the people they love. I’m really happy for the Bachchan parivar. And at the same time shame on the journalist who went this far to sell few copies of their newsline. What a shame!!!!

Anyways, we, the true fans of Aishwarya are really glad and relieved that Aishwarya Rai is perfectly fine and hope she continues to do well in all aspects of her life.

Aishwarya Rai

According to a close family friend, though outwardly the family may have taken the when-it-happens-it-will-happen stand, but within, there’s a very ardent desire to have an heir for the family as soon as possible.

Mr Bachchan is especially sold on a grandson, but when asked about it he says, as usual, “When it happens, it will happen.”

But the question that is really bothers the family and their close friends is – when? After all, it’s no secret that Aishwarya is 37, and she isn’t getting any younger.

But it now comes to light that the reason for her inability to bear a child at the moment is because she has been suffering from stomach tuberculosis for a while.

Says a source, “The medication Aishwarya is taking for her stomach ailment is hampering her from getting pregnant. Until the tuberculosis is fully cured, she is unlikely to risk a pregnancy.”

On his blog, an anguished Amitabh Bachchan has written about ‘the rich man’s TB’, dispelling the myth that the disease only afflicts the less privileged. Now that the supposed reason for the delay in her pregnancy is clearer, we can only hope and pray that the Bachchan bahu speedily recovers from the ailment and fulfills her ardent desire to become a mother.

Aishwarya Rai (ABCL Head)

Who ever thought that Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited would ever fail. But the company never got the right start and failed & then failed again. But i guess now ABCL has a reason to celebrate with the new hope they see under Aishwarya Rai. That’s right, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, daughter in law of Amitabh Bachchan, has taken up the responsibility to revive the destiny of the family banner.

As you might just not be knowing it, “Paa” is being released under ABCL banner. According to some online media buffs, Bachchans are pretty confident about the success of “Paa” specially after series of flops in the past. You know what! Even i am pretty confident about the success of the movie “Paa”, and hopefully, it will truly be a success worldwide.

Anyways, getting back on the subject, Aishwarya Rai has played a major role in planning the marketing strategies of the movie “Paa” under AB Corp Ltd. She is really leaving nothing to chance and taking full control of the marketing. So whether it’s the head-in-the-box teaser ads, or Auro merchandise, Paa-and-I campaign strategies, or Big B visiting schools, all the promotional strategies for the film are filtered by Aishwarya. So, with this in mind and to continue with some good projects,  they have chosen Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to head the ABCL banner for the revival or shall i say re-establishment. So far, so good…hoping the same for future.

By the way, just for your information, here is the list of movies that have been launched under ABCL banner:

1. Paa (2009)
2. Family: Ties of Blood (2006)
3. Antarmahal: Views of the Inner Chamber (2005)
4. Viruddh… Family Comes First (2005)
5. Aks (2001)
6. Major Saab (1998)
7. Mrityudaata (1997)
8. Saat Rang Ke Sapne (1997)
9. Tere Mere Sapne (1996)
10. Bumbai (1995)

I don’t know. I kinda liked Major Saab and Viruddh and the songs for Aks were pretty cool as well.
Anyways, let me wish Bachchans family a bright future and lot of success with Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited.
