Ghar mein kuch log samajhte hain ki thoda bahut Jaya, Abhishek se milta hai (I think she looks like Aishwarya but babies’ faces keep changing as they grow up. But I still think she looks like Aishwarya. Some people at home think she looks like Jaya and Abhishek).”

Mera Kaun Banega Crorepati khatam hogaya hai, aur mere paas koi film hai nai abhi. Toh main bekar hu, ab main ghar pe rahuga (I am idle right now. Kaun Banega Crorepati has ended and I don’t have any film to shoot either. So I am idle and I will stay at home).” To this, Abhishek Bachchan intervened and said that Amitabh will now look after his granddaughter.

The doctors had told us that the baby could arrive anytime now. On the 16th morning, she delivered the baby. This was a normal delivery even though these days people opt for C-section and other things. But Aishwarya wanted a normal delivery, she had to struggle but I commend her that she was in acute labour for a long time, almost 2-3 hours. But she persisted, said she wanted a normal delivery. She did not use any epidural or painkiller.”
On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan is currently hosting the 13th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, he’ll be also seen in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra and Ajay Devgn starrer Mayday. While Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is set to make her grand comeback in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan.
