It is no secret that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan dotes on her daughter Aaradhya. In fact, while we see many other star kids being carried around by their nannies at times, Beti B is always seen with her mom. In fact, Aaradhya is now 4 years old but we still find Ash carrying her in the photos that our paparazzi clicks. The beautiful actress revealed why:

At one point when we were walking, she was in a great mood, even as people clicked pictures. She was laughing and saying something funny. But, when people started caving in, I had to pick her up because she is too tiny to handle all that. I had to steer my way through the crowd. It is just a protective instinct, I keep her close.

In the same interview to the popular leading daily Hindustan Times, she also shared:

Aaradhya has seen it (the limelight) since birth and I would like to think she is used to it. But when Aaradhya saw these people (photographers) coming, she just wanted to stop in her tracks and squatted on the floor. I knew it was time for me to pick her up. I just wanted everyone to be safe, including my child.

Hats off to Ash for being such a hands-on mommy!
