Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Bollywood star, has baby girl
Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has given birth to a baby girl, husband actor Abhishek Bachchan has tweeted.
Father-in-law Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan also tweeted: “I am Dada (grandfather) to the cutest baby girl”.
Aishwarya was admitted to the Seven Hills Hospital in the Indian city of Mumbai early Tuesday morning. This is her first child. There has been tremendous interest in Aishwarya's pregnancy from the media and her fans.
"It's a girl!," Abhishek wrote on the micro-blogging site at 0952 local time (0422 GMT). Amitabh Bachchan said he was "ecstatic" to be a grandfather and thanked all those who sent out congratulatory messages. Aishwarya's pregnancy had been keenly watched since June when Amitabh Bachchan announced the pregnancy of his daughter-in-law.
"News news news!! I am going to become a grandfather. Aishwarya expecting. So happy and thrilled," he had tweeted. According to reports, bookies had bet 1.5 billion rupees (around $30m) on whether Aishwarya would deliver on 11 November or not. The Bachchans are known as the "first family" of Bollywood and have millions of fans following their every move. Often called the "queen of Bollywood", Aishwarya, 37, married Abhishek in 2007, forging the ultimate Bollywood dynasty.
She first charmed the nation at just 21, winning Miss World in 1994. She has acted in several Hollywood films too. She was the first Indian actress to sit on the Cannes jury in 2003. She has also appeared on the cover of Time magazine as the global face of Indian cinema. Because of her popularity in India and outside, she has long been the face of cosmetic giant Loreal and high-end Longines watches
This is what Amitabh Bachcan wrote on his blog. I think it's simply awesome, and one day I'm sure this will be the biggest gift for Baby Bachchan.

The soft innocence of nature rests in my arms, oblivious of what else happens around her. Occasionally she opens her large and what looks now to be eyes of the lighter hue, which those that have dealt with similar, know shall change with time. Often the gentlest of smiles quiver across her pouted upper lip, the shut eyes bringing expression through the brows and the settling down to that dream she must dream. Her head covered in the littlest of head gear she will ever adorn, snuggles into her mini quilt of varied colors dominated by the pink softness of its material.
As I look down upon her I bring myself back to the visual when I had placed her Father in just condition into my Father’s hands, to be heralded into our home. I stare at her in silence. She reciprocates in similar vein. It is too delicate a moment. I am unaccustomed to such delicate state. Should I shake my arms cradle like to give comfort, or maybe simply remain still as family cameras and members gather around. The ladies about, ogle with baby like sounds intermittently, and deliver diverse opinions on who she resembles. There are animated conversations of how this state of delivery was reached, in some intricate terminology and detail. These words are new to me. I have not heard them. Or perhaps not heard them often enough to know them. After a pregnant pause it is time for her to be airlifted from within my arms. I give this angelic face a prolonged look …
Dad ! I hold the 9th Bachchan in my hands .. this family that you started .. !!
Amitabh, Ajitabh, Shweta, Nilima, Namrata, Abhishek, Naina, Bhim and now .. this beauty, unnamed so far … I hope you and Ma look upon us from above and bless us and your latest addition. To carry forward what then may have seemed a somewhat limited expectation. The tradition continues and may it prosper by your love and your aashirvaad.
It has been a tiring day for all, especially the Mother, who has shown exceptional strength and courage. It has been a day of great joy and combined happiness. It has been a day of immense emotion. Tears of joy have erupted among all that were from family and about Aishwarya all along. On occasion they have tried desperately to occupy mine as well. But as the ‘official’ camera recorder of the event I have secretly dropped a few behind the eyes of the lens that I hold. These are rare moments and rare reactions.
A new life a new generation has begun. The process of continuity reigns. The world still rotates the way it does. We shall live our destined lives and be removed, but the process shall continue. May the process be eternal for the one that has just arrived. May it be full of happiness and joy always and may we be a part of it for as long as we can …
As one well wisher in his mobile message declared -
” May you live to dance at the wedding of this angel in your life ”
May we all … indeed !!
Amitabh Bachchan
