'We love each other'..Ash on family!

By Subhash K. Jha, November 1, 2007 - 11:31 IST

It can't be anything but destiny. Aishwarya Rai who will be playing Mumtaz Mahal in Ben Kingsley's film on the Taj Mahal, brought in her 34th birthday in Agra with her real-life Shah Jehan. "You make it sound so dramatic and romantic," speaking on the eve of her birthday Aishwarya's girlish laughter remains the same. "It's nothing like that. I'm bringing it in with Abhishek, Ma and Pa. Abhishek was shooting an ad in Agra on Wednesday. So I joined him with Ma (mom-in-law Jaya Bachchan). And now Pa (father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan) has also joined us. So you could say it's a perfect birthday by the Taj Mahal, though not quite AT the Taj Mahal—have you seen the crowds over there?—we can't risk going to the Taj Mahal, but a stone's throw away. Tomorrow (November 1) I'll be heading back home. It's a pity my parents couldn't join us here in Agra." On Nov 1, her birthday Aishwarya was on top of the world. "My birthday in Agra was just tooooooo special. Someone up there has answered all my prayers." It's been a hectic time for Aishwarya. "I came back from the US from shooting Pink Panther in time for Karwa Chauth. God knows how the tv cameras got our shots, probably from neighbour's premise….We're just leading our lives normally. I don't know why or how the press has this hunger to know about us." She laughs, "This is my first birthday after marriage and therefore a very special occasion. But that apart, you know me. Spending time with the people I love is my greatest joy. I'm in a very happy place. And I don't mean Agra. Just being with three people who mean so much to me makes my life complete. God has been kind. There's great fulfillment in love and in being loved, by not just my husband but his parents who are now my parents. We're one family and we all love one another." After her marriage the glow on her face would make the sunglass industry thrive. That laughter again. "Well if you say I glow, it's the glow of happiness. I couldn't have asked for more." She'll be heading straight to Karjat after her birthday for the last two days' shooting of Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodha-Akbar. She's excited about doing the Taj Mahal film with Ben Kingsley. "On the first day of shooting The Last Legion with him he walked up to me he said, 'I've this idea.' And he told me about the Shah Jehan-Mumtaz Mahal film that he'd like to do. You know, how many Taj Mahal scripts have come my way. I told Ben there have been many occasions when this subject has come to me. But there was something exceptionally interesting about the way he approached the subject. And yes, the whole process of discussing the subject with him was participative. After The Last Legion I kind of put it in the back of my mind. But earlier this year he confirmed it was on." At the moment it's Jodha-Akbar that occupies Aishwarya's mind. "You know me. Once I get into a subject I'm totally into it. But yes, I'm looking forward to working with Sir Ben again." What does she want for her birthday? She thinks a while and says, "Just blessings and good wishes. Apart from that God has given me everything."

Dunno if it's just me,but quotes like "We're one family and we all love one another" sound extraordinarily cheesy 🤢 😕

Passing over the glitch,I wish Ash all the best 😊 She seems to be happier than ever!

Its hard to see and believe that a family that famous and in public eye can be so traditional and in love with each other.

But if you see in india thats how a middle class normal family behaves. So if ASh is doing all that what a Daughter in law is suppose to do and say then ther eis nothing wrong inthat.

Or you want her to be like Karishma Kapoor who made fun of her family by dragging the family matters in public just after a yar of her marriage.

Ash was never my fav. actress but she is now the woman I respect as she is playing her role of DIL to a perfect. And I think thats how the traditional values would survive......And she gets pictures and questioned so much becasue she is ASH....the woman with the most number of websites in her name....or the one most searched on Yahoo..... 😃

This is sweet..........I guess the tradionality comes from all of them, barring Abhishek, comining from a middle class background. Jaya belonged to a middle class bengali family, and Amitabh, though coming from a fairly rich background, was brought up in a very traditional manner. Ash of course comes from a typical middle class South indian traditional family......if you take a close look at Ash's mom, she is a very beautiful lady, but always attired in those traditional south Indian sarees.Abhi has been the only exception, coming from one of the richest and one of the most famous families, but again, he got a tradional upbringing where his father dotted upon his own parents. It's really nice to read these kind of values and beliefs. Hope this stays on forever....many couple have made a great success of their marriage against all odds in this industry. I hope Ash and Abhi join them too....

wow such a dreamy family...i want one tooo like this 😆 😆 😆

ash is firstly pretty old what now she is 34 and 2ndly she is v clever she knows what to say and what not to say and when to say it and when not to. She controlls the public and the media thats why you shouldnt believe everything you read and here. No disrespect or nefink to her, but cumon guys hw lng has she been in this industry for now, she must have learnt sumin...

i think it is all for the media and very fake on her part they are getting free puelicity for every thing and i remeber it was a big issue if karishma did not want to quit films but ash i allowed to work n any film she likes talk aoubt double standards from the big bollywood family.

But i still like abhishek a lot i just watched lagaa chuniri main daag and his and rani chemistry was great even for the few minutes they were together

Wow
Thanks
