Aishwarya Rai gave birth to a baby girl on November 16, the first child for the former Miss World and her actor husband Abhishek Bachchan.

Though the family kept Aaradhya away from media glare, the shutterbugs managed to click her on a number of occasions - the recent being at a function where Aishwarya was honoured by the French Government.
Abhishek and Aishwarya got married in 2007 and welcomed their first child on November 16 last year.
Post the grand birthday bash of Amitabh Bachchan, it's now Aaradhya's turn to indulge as she turns a year old November 16.
Abhishek said a child's birthday is special for the mother as well because the mother spends so much time with them and takes care of them.
This picture of Aaradhya was doing the rounds of the media on September 19, as the first close-up of her face, in the arms of her mother who has so far been very careful of covering her up from the tip of her hair to her tiny toes.
A protective Aishwarya always wears a strap to hold Aaradhya wherever she goes. She is mostly dressed in pink.
Some time earlier, this picture cropped up, that showed her a closeup of her face, including her eyes. It seems she has daddy Abhishek's eye colour.
Amitabh Bachchan's 70th birthday on October 11 saw the family organising a big bash where several celebrities from Bollywood, south film industry, politicians and business tycoons had come to wish the megastar.
Bollywood's most celebrated child Aaradhya Bachchan became the favourite subject of the shutterbugs from the day she was born.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan says it will be a private affair for Aardhya's first birthday celebration.
For Aaradhya's first Diwali, the Bachchans had both friends and family over at their place but for her first birthday, they plan to keep it a private and family affair with just family and Aishwarya's parents.
The Bachchans have been fiercely guarded about the latest member of their family ever since she was born.
Having been blessed with a daughter in November last year, doting father Abhishek Bachchan says he is thrilled that little Aradhya is the focus of everyone's attention.
Fans and the media have been eager to catch a glimpse of Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan's baby Aaradhya but the new father says his daughter is not an "item to be displayed".
Abhishek says that he and his actress wife want to give a normal childhood to the baby and would not show her in public.
Apparently Jaya Bachchan calls Aaradhya 'strawberry'.
Abhishek says he now has one more reason to rush back home. He is a family-oriented person and both his parents and his wife also are.
Everyone in the Bachchan household is fascinated with Aaradhya, Abhishek recently said in an interview.
Abhishek said he is willing to do anything for her. He is earning money so that he can give her a good education and upbringing.
The media frenzy over her daughter Aaradhya notwithstanding, Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan says she does not want the little girl to 'get hassled'.
'She is too small and new to this world. I did not want her to get hassled. It was just a natural instinct of being protective,' said Aishwarya Rai asked about being a protective parent.
This was the first photo of baby Aaradhya being brought home from the hospital.
