didn't know one could hire reliable help for one's child: Aishwarya

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was never missing from the action. The mother to four-year-old Aaradhya chose to spend time with her daughter than juggling between films and her kid. Her absence from celluloid was a well thought out step,and

when she made her comeback with Sanjay Gupta's Jazbaa after 5 years, nothing changed. It was like as she's always been around. The years that she took off to look after her daughter have not dimmed her dazzle. In an exclusive interview with Subhash K Jha, Aishwarya spoke herheart out about Aaradhya, and how she never hired a help for her child .

On being asked if it was easy to be a working mother, Aishwarya said, "It's not easy for any working mother. Every wife mother and professional has to do a lot of planning. The stuff I pack every day has to include activities for Aaradhya during the day, and her food. But I'd say I am fortunate I can bring my child to my workplace. A lot of mothers can't. It may be a lot of planning, but I happily do it for my child. And I do it on my own." She further added, "People assume I've a posse of workers helping me. Wrong! I've never had nurses and nannies for Aaradhya. This was partly due to ignorance. I didn't know one could hire reliable help for one's child. There was just one helper and she was my extended hand. Otherwise it's just me and my daughter."
