Aishwarya with Abhishek at home!

Aishwarya Rai returned home from hospital today and the actress who delivered a baby girl, less than a week back, was glowing.

The Bachchan’s held a press conference at their residence, here are some excerpts 

• Amitabh Bachchan to the media: You all (the media) had promised to stay away and you all did that, my family is grateful to all. It was a very private moment for the family.
• Talking about the new-born, Bachchan said: Today we bought betiya home we are all very happy with this, hamare ghar Laxmi aayi hai, Abhishek, Aishwarya and all are well and in good health.
• When asked by someone if they visited any temple, Bachchan said “We have a small mandir in our house  built by my grandfather and that was the first place we took her (referring to Pratiksha)
• When asked about who the child looks like “I think the child looks like Aishwarya but you all know that a child’s face changes every day, but I still want to believe that she has Aishwarya’s face but few people in house believe there is some resemblance with Abhishek too”
• The Bachchan’s first went to their house in Pratiksha and then made their way to their current home Jalsa “There is blessing from my parents and everybody in my family. We first went to Pratiksha because that is our first home after taking blessing from my babuji and maa (referring to his parents) we have come to Jalsa.’
• On the naming the child “Abhishek and Aishwarya wanted the name to start with A. Abhishek and me both wrote it on twitter and now it has spread so much that all are sending so many names”
• On all that happened at the hospital, Abhishek gave an overview “Aishwarya got admitted on the 14th as the doctor said the child could be born any time now. The baby was delivered on the 16th morning we were all at the hospital, it was a normal delivery just as Aishwarya wanted, I want to compliment her because she bore the pain for more than three hours. She was into acute labour but still she did not go for an epidural or painkiller”
