It was in 2011 when Aishwarya and Abhishek hopped onto the parenthood journey by welcoming their daughter, Aaradhya, into their lives. There's no second thought about the fact that apart from being brilliant actors, Aishwarya and Abhishek are doting parents to their daughter, and the proof can often be found. Talking about Aaradhya, the little one often gets papped with her mom out and about in the city, and she never fails to steal the show with her gestures.
It's been long since the dispute rumours between Aishwarya and her sasural have been going on. It was even said that Aishwarya and Abhishek are together just for the sake of their daughter.
