New Delhi, Oct 19 (IANS) It was a grand baby shower ceremony for mother-to-be Aishwarya Rai and while celebrities had poured in to congratulate her, Abhishek Bachchan has thanked their fans for wishing her on "Godh Bharai".
"Good morning everyone. Thank you so much for all the wishes for Aishwarya on her Godh Bharai. Read out some of your messages to her," Abhishek posted on Twitter page Wednesday.
The baby shower had taken place at the Bachchan household Jalsa Tuesday and actors like Saira Banu, Asha Parekh and Dimple Kapadia, as well as designers like Neeta Lulla and Shaina NC had turned up.
But the day-long festive ritual hasn't stopped the 35-year-old actor from going back to work. He is currently shooting for Abbas-Mustan's "Players".
"So after a day filled with tradition, Indian customs and ladies, it's back to work. Gotta start playing again for players!" he posted.

2006/12/22 21:24:14 Junior Bachchan is sure acquiring a knack for being the bad boy. After his performance in Yuva was appreciated, Abhishek did yet another ‘negative’ role in Dhoom 2, where despite being the cop, he managed to appear as the bad guy as far as the audience is concerned. And now we hear, he’s once again taken up a role with negative shades in Mani Ratnam’s Guru. Abhishek admits that it was tough playing an ambitious man who can justify breaking laws without any guilt in the film. Now is AB’s baby trying to make a mark as the anti-hero?

Abhishek says he is looking forward to work with his gorgeous wife Aishwarya Rai in Sarkar 2 .The couple will work together in ‘Sarkar 2’ in which Ash will play a powerful woman who manages mob business.
Directed by Ram Gopal Varma , the movie is a sequel to the 2005 hit Sarkar about a ruthless mob boss played by Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan , Abhishek's father. The three will appear on screen together in the movie.
“I am looking forward to working with my wife. She is a wonderful co-star,” a newspaper quoted Abhishek as saying as he resumed work after his honeymoon.
“But whether she will get us a dabba (box) of home-cooked food and whether the sets will resemble our home, you've got to ask Ash,” Abhishek said.Abhishek also said it is too early to feel any change after marrying Ash.
“Give me some time. It's not like she is waiting for me when I get back home,” Abhishek told the newspaper.
Actor couple Jyothika and Surya became the proud parents of a baby girl. Jyothika’s new born was delivered at a private nursing home in Chennai.
Both the mother and child are doing well. The baby was born around 10 pm on Friday. Surya has canceled all his shootings for the weekend to be with his wife and baby.
2011/11/15 17:58:01 (IANS) Aishwarya Rai has checked into the Seven Hills Hospital here for delivery of her first child, her spokesperson said.
"Yes, she checked into the hospital late last night (Monday)," Ash's spokesperson confirmed to IANS.
The Bachchan family has been eagerly waiting for the baby's arrival and has been busy for past few days with the preparations to welcome the new member.
"A day of expectation...but another day! The Lord has his ways and they are most special...we wait" father-in-law Amitabh posted on micro-blogging site Twitter Monday night.

Aishwarya, 38, and Abhishek, 35, tied the knot in April 2007.
2011/11/20 20:46:50 Mumbai, Nov 20 (IANS) Amitabh Bachchan, who has received requests for pictures of his newborn granddaughter, says he can't share the photos because it is a personal thing.
"Many asking for the picture of the baby...I am afraid that is not going to happen... too personal...you will understand...thank you," Big B tweeted.
Big B's daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai, gave birth to her first child Nov 16 here and ever since people are curious to see her daughter.
Meanwhile dad Abhishek has asked fans to suggest names for his daughter through his tweet.
Over last few weeks, media has gone overboard in writing about so called wars between Amitabh Bachchan - Shahrukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan - Shahrukh Khan and even Hrithik Roshan - Abhishek Bachchan.
While Big B, King Khan and Aby Baby have clearly denied any rift between, this time it is Hrithik Roshan too who has got a clean chit from Abhishek himself. In one of the interviews when Abhishek was questioned if there was any controversy with Hrithik who is his professional rival, Abhishek denied it point blank. In fact on being asked if he cared about the role of his co-star in 'Dhoom 2', he said he had never worried about the length of the role of his co-stars in the film and mainly concentrated on his own performance.
He also narrated incidents where Hrithik had personally come over to him and told him point blank if he wasn't looking good in a particular shot or his make up/dress etc. were not in place. Hrithik's take was that since cinema is a visual medium one should be extra careful about how one presents himself on the screen. No wonder Abhishek can't forget this sweet gesture.
And some say that two film personalities sailing in the same boat cannot be friends!?
