Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan's 70th birthday was one of the biggest event and party time for the entire Indian film fraternity. But what made the occasion more special was the unveiling of granddaughter Aaradhya Bachchan.
That must have been the biggest return gift by Big B to his millions of fans when Aaradhya was out and about mixing with the crowd and happily jumping from one lap to the other. And to every one's surprise media was allowed to click her pictures.
Time and again Bollywood actress and celebrity mother Aishwarya Rai was seen covering her 11 month old daughter Aaradhya’s face from the glaring media.
It was Ash's constant endeavour to hide Beti B's face from the world and she faced the media wrath for her covering-up act.
Until the big day when Ash could not stop her daughter from wriggling out of her grip and revealing her face to the world.
The media went berserk and the next day's spread was all about the famous celebrity kid and how she looked.
But her appearance at her grandpa's birthday was the icing on the cake.
She was pictured enjoying all the attention up on the stage along with the family, minus her trademark pink woolen cap and mom Ash’s overprotective hand to shield her face.
Cameras seized the opportunity and captured the picture perfect moment. While clicking away the who’s who of B-town the shutterbugs turned around to capture a moment never seen before.
Aaradhya glared into the eyes of the spectators who watched her awe struck. A perfect 'Beti' for this filmy family.
She certainly has the celebrity pull and the curiosity surrounding her is astounding.
Aishwarya was very candid with the media the day after the party and told the media that she was on double duty during the entire celebrations as Aaradhya was 'in and out of sleep'. She was also quoted by Hindustan Times as saying, "But that is ok, I have no complaints. I love her very much. I love to spend time with her."
Aishwarya added: "I think it is the job of media to take pictures or bytes. But as a mother, as a family, we were just trying to be protective. She is too small and new to this world. I did not want her to get hassled. It was just a natural instinct of being protective."
Taken into account that the entire world now knows how Aaradhya looks, are we to believe that this 'little bundle of joy' will be more media savvy?
The birthday revelation could be the end of hide and seek and launch of Aaradhya Bachchan's public career.
