We all know that Aishwarya has made her parents proud by winning the Miss World pageant in 1994 and then proving her mettle as an actress, not only in Bollywood, but also in Hollywood. Competing at an international level does call for a lot of confidence and talent, not to forget an indisputable faith in God.

As told by Aishwarya’s mother, Vrinda Rai, Aish was a religious child, who enjoyed participating in all kinds of puja, be it Diwali, Dusshera or Ganpati. She would enjoy watching the puja and aarti and grew up to be a spiritual person. No doubt, responsibility and maturity are her strength while her daughter and parents are her world.

Having discovered about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her religious self, it is obvious for people to be eager to know about her daughter Aaradhya now. Well, like mother, like daughter! Born in a family of Ganpati bhakts, it comes as no surprise that Aaradhya too has an inclination towards religious practices and enjoys aartis and pujas.

Among one of the initial life lessons to her daughter, the ex Miss World says that she made Aaradhya learn the Ganpati aarti, which has delighted the grandfather Amitabh Bachchan to such an extent that he could not help but share his joy and pride on social media.

Aish plays the aarti every evening while lighting diyas in the house to make it an enjoyable experience for the little one. She also has a collection of Ganpati idols in various sizes stocked in the temple at home and Aaradhya is used to playing with these small Ganpati idols. It took no training to make the darling daughter understand and praise the Lord since she is witness to her mother and family performing pujas and aartis everyday.

Aishwarya and Aaradhya share the same birth month, November, which makes this mother-daughter pair even more similar. The Bachchan bahu says that her daughter too is sensitive like her and that it is a wonderful quality to have. We couldn’t agree more…

Living up to the name of such a legendary family is a tough job, but we are already seeing another Bachchan being groomed for a bright and ideal addition to the most respected and looked upon Bollywood family.
