Reports are trickling in that actor Abhishek Bachchan is planning to whisk away his gorgeous star-wife Aishwarya Rai for a short Goa holiday to celebrate her 39th birthday.
We hear that Abhi has taken a two-day break from the ‘Dhoom3’ filming to pamper his ladylove.
While the details of the birthday bash are being kept under tight wraps, our source insists that Abhi is planning a spectacular celebration away from Mumbai.
Considering he’s been away on work a lot lately, Abhi is keen on making up for the time away from home.
Rumour has it that he’s even going to bundle-up their gorgeous little girl Aaradhya, who will celebrate her first birthday just a fortnight away on November 16.
In fact, some media reports suggest that pa-in-law Amitabh and ma-in-law Jaya will also join in for the revelries.
The celebrations, however, will kick-start in Mumbai with the actress being honoured with the second highest civilian French award titled ‘Officer Dan Ordre des Arts et des Lettres’ (officer of the order of arts and letters).
After the ceremony, the Bachchan clan will most likely fly out for the birthday festivities.
Since we haven’t got any official confirmation from Ash’s spokesperson about her Goan get-together, we are going to give Abhishek a list of five, quick getaways.
Topping our list would most definitely be what the Bachchans’ are said to pick – Goa! And that’s because there’s no place more serene and mesmeric like the Indian costal city. The golden beaches and vibrant culture will surely set the mood for the birthday bash. And, its proximity to Mumbai being the icing on the cake. In fact, the power couple owns a Portuguese-styled mansion there.
But if they want a change of scene, we’d pick Dubai as the perfect city for the gathering. With the flying time from Mumbai to the desert city running into just two hours, it’s perfect for a snappy trip, packed with loads of shopping, exotic food and pristine beaches. There’s even fun things for Aaradhya. In fact, baby A’s first international holiday was to Dubai, when she jetted in with her mommy for the Dubai World Cup.
With the French Rivera being Ash’s favourite, Abhishek could probably extend the vacation by a few extra days for an elaborate do at Cannes. Considering his little girl is also gearing up for her first birthday, they could end up with twin festivities. And since, the little one didn’t get to see much during her maiden journey to Cannes along with mommy Ash for the prestigious film fest, maybe now she could get daddy to take her and mommy for a fun day out. While Ash might miss the red carpet and the flashbulbs, her recent French acquisition might just tip this city as special.
Abhishek could also surprise his wife with a spectacular break to the secluded Koh Samui, making it an absolute wow experience. Cocooned in luxury, with some of the most beautiful beaches, this will prove to be the best pamper fest that any woman could wish for. And, the secluded retreat could keep the prying media at bay and give the Bachchans a much-deserved family outing.
It’s a given that Ash will be the center of everyone’s attention, but we think baby Aaradhya might also need some pampering, so we think the bustling Hong Kong might turn into the perfect city for a double treat. She might be a wee tiny for Disney World, but the fantasy land could be equally fascinating for her parents.
