Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a dotting mother. Since the birth of her daughter, Aaradhya, in 2011, the global icon has consciously stepped back from the limelight to be a hands-on parent, frequently being spotted by her daughter's side at every major milestone. A recent viral video captured an endearing moment at the airport where Aishwarya was seen eagerly waiting to pick up Aaradhya from a school tour.
Like any proud mother, Aishwarya Rai was spotted filming and taking photos as Aaradhya walked out, leading to a joyful reunion and a warm hug between the two. The internet erupted in praise for the actress after she was seen turning photographer for Aaradhya and her friends. Netizens have dubbed her the 'best mom ever', gushing over her simplicity and her commitment to performing 'regular mom duties'.
As April 20 marks Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's 19th wedding anniversary, Aishwarya Rai took to her Instagram handle and dropped a couple of adorable photos featuring herself, Abhishek Bachchan and their daughter Aaradhya. Fans soon chimed into the comments section and dropped heartfelt reactions. A user commented, "beautiful family," another one wrote, "Another year, another chapter of love. Happy Anniversary to this iconic couple," a netizen wrote, "Happy anniversary...Great family.. god bless please be together always," others also dropped similar reactions.
In a previous conversation with ETimes, Abhishek Bachchan expressed deep gratitude for Aishwarya’s dedication as a mother. He credited her hands-on approach for giving him the freedom to focus on his career while she ensured their daughter, Aaradhya, leads a grounded life.

Abhishek said, "Thankfully, her mother has seamlessly eased her into this world. I think it was very important and Aishwarya handled it beautifully that it wasn't made into a big deal for her that both her grandparents are from the film world and both your parents are from a film world. We didn't make it into a 'big thing'. It was very normal. She's a very normal kid, the credit of that should entirely go to my wife because she allows me to go out and make my films and she takes care of Aaradhya. I'm sure it can't be easy but she's just a normal kid and being that, she's happiest playing, going to school, interacting with her friends. She doesn't really want to compulsively watch movies, she's happy doing other things."
