Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who has largely been out of the public eye since the birth of her daughter on November 16, attended the reception of Bollywood actors Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’souza who got married on Friday.

Aishwarya, traditionally dressed in an anarkali suit, set off a frenzy as photographers covering the event rushed to click the one image no one wanted to miss.

Aishwarya was briefly spotted and clicked when the Bachchans hosted media mogul Oprah Winfrey at their home during her first India visit. Later, she drove with Oprah, father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan and husband Abhishek to a party hosted by Parameshwar Godrej to welcome Oprah. Source

Recently, Salman Khan was caught in an uncomfortable spot when both his ex-girlfriends Aishwarya and Katrina, and Salman himself landed up at the same venue for their respective assignments.

Last heard, the two women can’t stand each other. While both have been Salman’s girlfriends at some point (an obvious reason to dislike each other), zoom reporters dug deeper to find out that when a famous toy company modeled their new doll on Katrina, Aishwarya tried to undermine Katrina by saying that the toy company had originally approached her, but she refused the offer and so it went to Katrina. This obviously did not go down well with Katrina. More

Shahrukh Khan visited the Bachchan’s residence to meet none other than Beti B. Reportedly, the actor offered his blessings to Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s newborn daughter.

‘Shah Rukh drops by to meet the ‘little one’, a few others too from the fraternity visit the still in wonder bundle.. and we spend all our time in trying to spend as much time as possible with her !! Simple pleasures of life..!!’ Big B wrote on his blog.

With the arrival of Beti B, it seems that the speculated long time rivalry between the Bachchan parivar and SRK will soon come to an end. Also, Abhishek and SRK were recently spotted having a good time together at photographer Dabboo Ratnani’s 2012 calendar launch. Source

American chat show queen Oprah Winfrey will be soon visiting India to shoot her new chat show Next Chapter with spiritual guru Deepak Chopra. She even wants to participate in the Jaipur Literary Festival in the country. Oprah tweeted, ‘Never been to India, it’s been on my vision board forever (sic).’

Interestingly, if reports are to be believed, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are planning to host a party for Oprah when she visits Mumbai during her tour. Both Aishwarya and Abhishek have appeared on Oprah’s show.

Also, Oprah is keen to meet Beti B as per sources. Source

As reported, a lavish ceremony will be organised for the baby post January 15 (Makar Sankranti, which is when the period finishes).

Bring all this up and Abhishek Bachchan says, “I haven’t figured the name yet. But I’ll lock on it soon. Aishwarya (wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) and I didn’t know whether we were going to have a boy or girl. So we didn’t jot down names.”

However, he admits they want to settle for a name that starts with the alphabet ‘A’. “We had shortlisted a few, but it’s difficult to choose that ‘one’,” asserts the new father, adding, “I can’t tell you the names that we’re considering right now. Ash and I want it to be with the letter A.”

The new father is often compared to his dad — Amitabh Bachchan — in terms of his acting skills and box-office hits. Does he feel his daughter too may face those pressures? “It’s a blessing to be my parents’ son and my grandparents’ grandson. My child will grow up saying her parents are actors. But I don’t want her to use that as a crutch. She will have to work her way around things the way her parents and grandparents did,” states Abhishek, whose forthcoming film, Players releases this Friday. More

It has been a month since Bollywood diva Aishwarya Rai Bachchan gave birth to a baby girl and the Bachchans are yet to name her. They are still in search of an appropriate name for the new member of the family.

“I would let you know as soon as I have decided upon a name (for my daughter),” Abhishek Bachchan told reporters here at the promo of his latest flick ‘Players’.

Asked what was his feeling when Aishwarya gave birth to the baby, he said it was the most “indescribable thing that ever happens” to anybody. “No matter how good is your vocabulary, you can never get (proper) words of what you feel when you see the child… It is wonderful,” he said.

Replying to another question, Abhishek said his daughter resembled his wife and he wants her to look like the former Miss World. “Thankfully she (daughter) resembles her mother, but I have been told by the veterans that children’s face changes over time … I think it sounds better she looks like her mother,” he said.

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently became parents to a baby girl and while the Beti B has wrapped everyone in the family around her little finger, there is one member of the family who is not quite happy with the attention the new one is garnering.

And the member in question is Bachchans pet Great Dane. Amitabh Bachchan today said that his pet dog has been sulking ever since their bundle of joy has marked her presence.

Bachchan took to Twitter to share the piece of information writing, “Shanouk, my Piranna Great Dane feeling left out and sulking ever since the baby has arrived .. spending time with him now more often” More
