Ash looks forward to being a mom

Aishwarya Rai says she is fully convinced that actor-husband Abhishek Bachchan will make a good father in real life because he is so “real and rooted”.
“Everybody has been asking me if Abhishek will be a good pa (father) in connection with the release of our forthcoming production Paa. I think it’s silly for me to be even making the statement. It’s given – I married the man. So obviously I have the conviction in the husband he is or the father he will be,” said Aishwarya, 36 in an interview.
“I’ve seen him with his niece and nephew since the time they were babies. He is so great with kids and I’ve seen that for the longest time with (his sister Shweta’s children) Navya (Naveli) and Agastya. I have no doubts on him whatsoever.”
Aishwarya, who will be seen with Abhishek in Ravana, was in the capital Monday to launch the Longines PrimaLuna, a new watch range inspired by the moon and galaxy.
Sporting a sleek piece herself that matched with an elaborate yet elegant black and cream off-shoulder gown, Aishwarya was at peace talking about her personal life.
Asked whether she would want a daughter or a son, she said: “Come on…Aren’t you like moving at a really fast pace…! Whatever god has in store for us in life (will come)… Life itself is a blessing, let alone to have opportunity to be able to bring a life into this world.
“It’s really not in our hands …it’s in god’s hands. I hope I am just blessed with that experience, I am really looking forward to it and we will certainly cherish it,” she added.
On the work front, the former beauty queen is busy with big ticket projects such as Mani Ratnam’s Ravana, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish, Rajnikant starrer Endhiran and Vipul Shah’s Action Replay.
The actress is likely to feature as Mumtaz Mahal with acclaimed Hollywood actor Ben Kingsley in Taj, which is based on Taj Mahal.
For now, Aishwarya is looking forward to AB Corp’s Paa, which features her father-in-law, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, and Abhishek. The film releases Friday.
