Teased About A Second Child With Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan Says, “Aagli Peedhi…”

New Delhi:

Rumours of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s spilt have been swirling for the last few months. The power couple put the rumours to rest with a joint appearance at a wedding, where they clicked photos together. Abhishek Bachchan, who appeared as a special guest on Riteish Deshmukh’s chat show, Case Toh Banta Hai, reacted when he was teased about having a second child with Aishwarya Rai on the show. Riteish initiated the conversation with the Bachchan names pre-dominantly starting with alphabet A. He said, “Amitabhji, Aishwarya, Aaradhya, aur aap (and you) Abhishek. Yeh saare ‘A’ letter se shuru hote hain (All your names begin with A). Toh Jaya aunty aur Shweta ne aisa kya kar liya (then what wrong have Jaya Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan done?)” Reacting to the comment, Abhishek said, “This, you’ll have to ask them. But I think this has become a tradition in our house. Abhishek, Aaradhya…”

Riteish cut in humorously, “Aaradhya ke baad (After Aaradhya?)” Abhishek replied, “Nahi abhi agli peedhi jo aayegi tab dekhenge na (Now we’ll see after the next generation comes).” Riteish didn’t stop there and said, “Who will wait that much? Like Riteish, Riaan, Rahyl (his two sons), Abhishek, Aaradhya…” Abhishek Bachchan blushed and had a hilarious response to the tricky question,  “Umar ka lihaaz kiya karo, Riteish. Main tumse bada hoon (Respect your elders Riteish, I am older to you).” Riteish touched Abhishek’s feet and gave the audience a moment to cherish. The stars collaborated in films like Bluffmaster!, Housefull 3.

Last month, the Internet speculated Abhishek skipped his daughter Aaradhya’s 13th birthday bash after Aishwarya shared pictures without him. Dismissing speculation, the event management company that arranged Aaradhya’s birthday party, shared two videos on Instagram revealing Abhishek was very much a  part of the celebrations. In the first video, Aishwarya, accompanied by daughter Aaradhya, can be heard thanking the event management company for hosting Aaradhya’s birthday beautifully for the last 13 years. In another video, Abhishek can be seen sharing his gratitude message for them.

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan married in April 2007. The two welcomed their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan in November 2011.
