Ash-Abhi don't plan to 'display' Aaradhya

Published

Bachchan fans and the global media has been falling over themselves trying to catch a glimpse of brown-eyed and 'strawberry' lookalike Aaradhya. Everyone has been lapping up any scrap of information that can be gleaned from any source. However, there have only been little snippets that have been coming the way of the public from the family members.

Recently, Aaradhya's father and Bollywood actor, Abhishek Bachchan while promoting his upcoming fim 'Bol Bachchan' spoke candidly about the family's intentions regarding the precious Beti B. 

The parents, that's Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, feel that their seven-month-old daughter is not an "item to be displayed". They claim they have not been hiding their daughter since her birth on November 16, 2011, but, at the same time, they don't want to show off their daughter to the public or release images. They want to give their daughter a normal childhood.

"I am not comfortable with that, I don't need to show her off. She is not an item that she has to be put up to display. She is a child and Aishwarya and I would like her to grow up as normal as possible," Abhishek told Indian new agency Press Trust of India

Father Abhishek probably understands what Aaradhya is likely to face all her life. After all, he too is a star son, considering that he is the offspring of Bollywood stalwarts like Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan. He told the news agency: "I do understand that her parents and grandparents are public figures but she is not yet and let her enjoy that. I have grown up in this industry and have been in this position so I understand the curiosity."

Meanwhile, Aishwarya has taken a long hiatus from acting and has been looking after her daughter's needs from Day 1.

Aishwarya and Abhishek did not even hire a nanny for their baby. Abhishek spends quality time with the baby when Aishwarya has to make a rare appearance to keep her brand endorsement commitments or a social-do that she cannot ignore.

Aishwarya's mother has been filling in whenever Aishwarya has travelled on work - to Dubai and Cannes - recently.

Other members of the family have also been taking their turn to look after and play with the growing toddler. Big B recently wrote in his bolg Bigb.bigadda.com: "Ever realized playing with the 'little one' for just a few minutes could be equivalent to an entire two hour workout in the gym! Child is the father of man."

Now, the fans already know that Aaradhya is a tall girl for her age and she is an active toddler. So, it is not surprising that she is giving her grandpa a good workout.
