Aishwarya & Abhishek finally name Beti B: 'Aaradhya Bachchan'


Finally the cat is out of the bag. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's daughter, named 'Beti B' by the media, finally has a better name to be known with.

The Times of India report suggest that Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya have registered the name 'Aaradhya Bachchan' for Beti B.

Ash had a baby girl on November 16, 2011 and since then fans and media have torn their hair to know what the baby girl was christened as. The Bachchan family remained mum and so were the family friends and relatives.

There were many names popping up each day, many speculations but all those names were rubbished either by the father or the grandfather Amitabh Bachchan.

It was understood that the family did conduct a naming ceremony but they all remained tight lipped not willing to divulge any details about the name or the baby.

What’s in a name, one wonders? For the Bachchans, quite a lot actually, who have been secretly guarding the name of their little one ever since she was born four months ago.

However, as the frenzy reached fever pitch, father Abhishek Bachchan put all speculations to rest, releasing a statement on the sidelines of the National Indian Leadership Forum where he was a guest speaker.

When a reporter quizzed the actor why no photo or name of Aishwarya’s and his daughter was being released, he said: "...I mean, we’ve got a name, and I'll announce it very soon, but in terms of releasing a photograph you know I... if people see her in everyday life that’s fine by me but I just think releasing the photograph is a very pompous thing to do.”

But after all media did mange to fish out the name. Aaradhya's name was registered two days ago.

Aardhya is a Sanskrit word which means, “First One”, “pleasable” or “one who is worth worshipping.” Though the name is often seen as male orientated, it has been known to be quite unisex in the recent times.

Now next wait is the first glimpse of Aaradhya Bachchan.

Arya’s 6-pack abs look’ for Irandaam Ulagam

Selvaraghavan’s upcoming film Irandaam Ulagam that has actor Aarya and hottie Anushka in the lead is progressing in a rapid pace. It now turns out that Selvaa has reportedly asked Aarya to develop his physique into a ‘6-pack abs look’ in order to suit the role he plays in the film.

Aarya was recently spotted at the inauguration of a music school ‘Sound Garage’ which would be managed by actress Soniya Agrawal’s brother. Soniya was spotted at the function in a colourful saree and was the cynosure of all eyes. Aarya, despite his best efforts to hide his ‘6-pack abs’ look, was identified by many to be developing his physique.

When queried about his look, Aarya first avoided replying directly to those questions as he was apparently under instructions not to talk about his role. Later, he said that “I would speak in detail about my look and my character at the press-meet to be held in connection with the release of Irandaam Ulagam. Till such time, I’d request you (the scribes) not to ask me anything about it!”

Aarya is on a roll of late in Tamil films with successive hits in the form of Bala’s Avan Ivan and Lingusamy’s Vettai.

Is Vikram, Shankar’s new hero?

Kollywood abuzz that ace director Shankar might rope in Vikram for his forthcoming film, for which the former has zeroed in writer duo Suba to pen the script.

Shankar is looking forward towards his next film after the success of his first remake venture Nanban, intended that he has replaced Sujatha with Suresh and Bala Kumaran with Balakrishnan. An industry biggie says, “Vikram might bag the lead role in Shankar’s next film. Enthiran director is busy scripting now and will make official announcement soon.”

Suba [Suresh & Balakrishnan] are the backbone of the films directed by K.V.Anand and they were part of successful movies like Suriya starred Ayan, Jeeva’s KO and also the ongoing Maatraan that casts Suriya and Kajal Agarwal in the lead. The combo of Shankar & Suba is sure to rock.
