Mumbai: Gurinder Chadha, who directed Bend it Like Beckham wants to name her twin babies after Bollywood stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

"If I have a boy and a girl I will call them Ash and Abhishek," Gurinder quoted as saying in the Times of India.

Gurinder is pregnant with twins and is expected to give birth in July.

Aishwarya and Abhishek got engaged in January, setting to rest feverish speculation in the media about their hush-hush romance.

Gurinder, who directed Aishwarya in Bride and Prejudice, said she had kept her next big project, Dallas, on hold until the babies are born.

"No film experience can compare with this," she said.

"I wanted to pull out of the project. But the producers insisted that I do it,” she added.

The expectant mother was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth this week.
