Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan have become proud parents of a baby girl. The actress gave birth to a girl this morning at the Seven Hills hospital in Andheri, a western Mumbai suburb.
An ecstatic Amitabh Bachchan tweeted, “I AM DADA to the cutest baby girl !!” While first-time dad Abhishek tweeted, “IT’S A GIRL!!!!!! :)))))”
Ash was accompanied to the hospital by her parents Vrinda and Krishnaraj Rai, brother Aditya, husband Abhishek and in-laws Amitabh, Jaya and Shweta Nanda.
The news of Ash’s pregnancy was broken by Amitabh Bachchan through Twitter in June this year. As Bollywood’s first family and their well-wishers celebrated the Big B received over 2000 congratulatory tweets the same day and people thronged the Bachchan residence in Juhu to celebrate.
The Bachchans chose a suburban hospital for the delivery, presumably to avoid media glare. While TV news channels, on their part, had agreed to stay away from the developments, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry had ordered television media not to park their vans outside the hospital.
