Aishwarya explains why she keeps Aaradhya close to her!

We all know how much protective Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is for her daughter Aaraddhya Bachchan. This time she explains the reason for being like that.

According to a report in leading daily while making their way to the exit from airport, Aaradhya threw a tantrum which irked many onlookers!

But Aishwarya Rai Bachchan revealed what exactly happened. She told that her cute kid is too tiny to handle paparazzi. She was quoted saying,"When people (photographer & fans) 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,"(sic).

A report on another entertainment portal quoted her while explaining about the 'tantrum thing', she said, "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," (sic).
