Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with her mother & Aaradhya Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had a quiet birthday (November 1) this year as her father passed away earlier this year. However, the actress made it a point to visit the Siddhivinayak temple with her mother & daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. We heard that her doting hubby, Abhishek Bachchan planned a small party at their house for a small celebration.

In an interview with Vogue recently, Abhishek spoke about the time Aishwarya gained weight after her pregnancy and the mean comments that followed. He said:

When she became a mother her career took a backseat. Today, she does everything for Aaradhya. She is supermom. Soon after Aaradhya was born, the media went at her about her weight gain. Nasty things were written, which really upset me. If that upset her, she said nothing. ”Water off a duck’s back,” she said when she saw me perturbed. Anyone who knows her would know that she has never spent a day in the gym. The only time was when we were shooting Dhoom 2, and Uday Chopra, Hrithik Roshan and I dragged her.

We agree with Abhishek – Aishwarya is a super mom & a super woman. Don’t let the haters get to you, Ash, you are gold!
