Aishwarya Rai : Aaradhya is an absolute blessing in our life

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was recently spotted at a stem cell banking event by life cell, where she urged the people to opt for it. The actress also expressed her feelings about how Aaradhya has been a blessing in her and hubby Abhishek Bachchan's life.

Bollywood star couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan tied the nuptial knot six years back in 2007 making it a grand Bollywood wedding and have a daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, who will turn two in November this year.

"A child is a gift from God and whenever it's meant to be it's meant to be... Aaradhya is an absolute blessing in our life... A very very special, very very loving fulfillment and I thank god for this blessing! You just have to be eternally grateful and thankful for the experience," said an elated mother Aishwarya.

Aaradhya is why Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shoots in Mehboob Studio

Bollywod actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has reportedly been shooting for her brand endorsements in Mehboob studio, close enough for her to drop her toddler Aaradhya with her mother and then rush back to work.

Those close to the actress say that Ash has requested the team shooting the ad to have it filmed at the Bandra studio that is a stone's throw away from her mother's apartment.

Says a source, "Aishwarya doesn't take her baby to her shoots. If she travels outside Mumbai, her mother accompanies her. For the shoot of her upcoming jewellery ad, she requested the brand honchos to shoot in Mehboob studio."

Aaradhya has already traveled with Ash to Cannes twice and even on all of her overseas shoots. The actress apparently prefers to plan her schedule in advance, keeping her child's comfort and convenience in mind.
