The gorgeous Aishwara Rai Bachchan has embraced motherhood with wide arms, however, it is daughter Aaradhya who is the real star. From accompanying the celebrity mum to international film festivals to posing for the paps, the little one has handled her inherited stardom with much ease and grace. In a recent interview with Vogue, where she made the cover with international singer and producer Pharell Williams, Aishwarya talked about the golden lessons she is trying to give her daughter.
“If you believe you are tired, you will be, so I choose to find pleasure in the moment and experience the present for what it is. I am a firm believer in the state of the mind, and that's the means to keep your head above a high level of water every day,” Aish said. She added, “That's something I'm imparting to Aaradhya- that B-positive is not just a blood group and that everything in life is a learning curve. Experience life in the moment, because you're going to have to live with your experience.” She also addressed struggles she goes through as a modern mother. The 44 year old remarked on how the common perception is that since she is a celebrity, she must be equipped with “an army of help”. It is not the case however.
“It's busy! In the superlative. I spend all my time with Aaradhya, and I have one nanny, by choice. I read comments saying, “Ah, she must have an army of help” and I understand the perception, but I choose this way, which means life is always busy. I respect homemakers for the endless work they do,” Ash said. When asked if the six year old realises the kind of attention she gets from the media, Aishwarya said she is just a child and can't casually say that she understands it.
“I haven't made a conversation out of it. But it can never be normal as there is nothing normal about it. Aaradhya has seen it since she was a baby, while I was exposed to it only in my twenties. Is it normal to her? I don't know. It can't be normal to see human beings behave strangely. But also, it's not like she woke up one day and experienced it. She has seen crowds outside our gates, media outside the airports and I would like to believe that she realises that it happens sporadically.”
