Abhishek says getting used to being called dad

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her husband Abhishek will most likely decide the name of their first daughter – nicknamed Beti B – at Christmas in a traditional naming ceremony, Indian media reports said.

A big ceremony is being planned over the Christmas where relatives and friends will be invited to suggest names for the little Bachchan. During the ceremony, the name is likely to be announced, reports from India said.

It was reported that the couple will not introduce their baby to the media in the near future as Abhishek’s grandmother (nani) has asked them not to release any photos right now.

“I’m still getting used to be being called a dad. My nani (grandmother) has asked us not to release any picture right now,” Contactmusic said quoting Abhi.

Abhishek tweeted that he was not able to concentrate on his work when he resumed on Thursday – the first working day since the birth of Beti B. “1st day back at work after Beti B. And so difficult to concentrate. Thoughts are monopolized by a certain little lady,” the proud father tweeted.

Thursday, November 24 was the first working day for Abhishek Bachchan after his daughter was born. However, the proud father could hardly concentrate on his work as all his focus was on Beti B who was home with wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Earlier, Grandfather Amitabh Bachchan said that it is 'Goddess Lakshmi" that has come to the Bachchan family. Daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan gave birth to her first child November 16.

Big B says that he has all the time to take care of the baby. And yes, one big task now is to name her.

He tweeted:  “T 569 -Thank you all for the immense amount of love and affection to the 'little one' and for all the names you suggest, shall pick one soon”.

Relative, friends and fans have been suggesting many likely names for the new baby.

Voracious social networker Amitabh Bachchan acknowledged all suggestions for names for the infant sent in by fans.

Meanwhile, father Abhishek has requested fans to suggest names, he tweeted: "And suggestions for names are very welcome guys. Something with "A".

His fans responded overwhelmingly, which surprised Abhishek and he wrote, “How do you guys do it? Unfortunately still haven't finalized the name. But eternally thankful 4 all the effort you guys are putting in. :-)”.

The family, however, will not have any grand naming ceremony.

During a recent press conference, Abhishek said that his daughter was quiet and mellow. He also added that the little girl 'is very obedient and cooperative. She does not cry or fuss much'.

Abhishek reiterated that his daughter’s name will start with ‘A’.
