Ash is “extremely keen” to have another baby soon - Rajeev Masand

This week's Open Magazine column by Rajeev Masand talks about how Aishwarya is a hands-on mom and how she is “extremely keen” to have another baby soon. He also confirms the news that Ash will be at Cannes this year . Woohoo!

Loving Motherhood

A close friend of the Bachchans reveals that Aishwarya has taken to motherhood effortlessly. The actress is reportedly a hands-on mum who does everything, from changing her baby’s diapers and bathing the little one to putting her to bed without any help from the domestic. An 80-year-old Mangalorean woman has been appointed to massage both mother and daughter every morning, but Ash apparently attends to everything else herself.

The actress’ mother, Vrinda, spends time at the Bachchan home in Juhu during the day, pottering around her daughter as she goes about her routine; and mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan often jokes that Vrinda and Aishwarya are constantly chatting in Tulu around her. Our source also reveals that Ash is “extremely keen” to have another baby soon.

Meanwhile, even as tabloids continue to obsess about how much weight Aishwarya needs to lose before she can return to the movies, the former Miss World herself isn’t letting that come in the way of doing exactly what she wants. Ash is expected to be at the Cannes Film Festival in May as brand ambassador for L’Oreal—it’ll be her 11th consecutive appearance at the festival since she first visited in 2002 with Devdas. But before that, she’s also scheduled to take a holiday to Dubai with Abhishek and the baby.
