Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of the prettiest faces of tinsel town and has ruled Bollywood for almost two decades now. The blue-eyed-girl made history by bringing home the crown of Miss World in the year 1994 when it looked like a far-fetched dream. Even in her 40’s the actress never fails to make headlines and proudly owns a huge fan base.

Recently, we stumbled upon one of the rarest pictures of Aishwarya from her childhood. While baby Aish looked gorgeous in the picture, she instantly reminded us of her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. The picture collage is shared by a fan page on Instagram, wherein on the left baby Aishwarya is posing for the camera, dressed in a white ensemble with front bangs and a perfectly matching headband. On the right, little Aaradhya can be seen in a white lehenga and same front bangs with a hairband. Take a look at the picture below:
Aishwarya, who is extremely close to her daughter Aaradhya, had accepted that she just cannot live without her even for a second. In an interview with DNA, the actress had said, “I can see a mini-me in Aaradhya. I go every day with her to school to drop and pick her up. I do it because I like to do it. I enjoy the time that we spend together. I’m blissed out and that’s the contentment that everyone gets to see. I’m glad about the choices I’ve made with regards to her. I’ll continue being protective, but I’ll still keep on trying to make everything normal.” (Also Read: Sushant Singh Rajput's Film Clashes With Rumoured Ex-GF, Kriti Sanon, Has The Sweetest Wish For Her)
In the same interview, Aishwarya also talked about the paparazzi culture, and had stated, “Usually, when kids are in the spotlight, they tend to lose their innocence. Aaradhya has still managed to retain that. I have tried to give her a normal upbringing and have never made much ado about it. At the same time, we also have to accept that this is and will be her reality.”
She had further talked about the times when she used to hide her from the shutterbugs, and revealed, “When Aaradhya was much younger, I had seen a few international celebs having discussions about maintaining security for their kids and that does shape the way you are, when your time comes. Your protective instincts are naturally strong towards your newborn. It’s what I reacted and responded to — there wasn’t any panic or drama to it. It wasn’t about covering my baby’s face from being photographed. It was just about protecting her from the mayhem and flashlights.” (You May Also Like: Mukti, Shakti, Kriti's Pic With Neeti Mohan And Her Hubby, Nihaar Pandya Is Pure 'Jiju-Saali' Love)
Last year, in an interview with Vogue, Aishwarya opened about spending time with her daughter, Aaradhya. She had said, “I spend all my time with Aaradhya, and I have one nanny, by choice. I read comments saying, ‘Ah, she must have an army of help’ and I understand the perception, but I choose this way, which means life is always busy. I respect homemakers for the endless work they do. As far as downtime goes, it’s about perspective—if you believe you’re tired, you will be, so I choose to find pleasure in the moment and experience the present for what it is.”
She also talked about imbibing good thoughts in her daughter’s life from the beginning, and had stated, “I’m a firm believer of the state of the mind, and that’s the means to keep your head above a high level of water, every day. That’s something I’m imparting to Aaradhya—that B-positive is not just a blood group and that everything in life is a learning curve. Experience life in the moment, because you’re going to have to live with your experience.” (Don't Miss: Kartik Aaryan Is 'Not Fed Up' While Answering Questions About Sara Ali Khan, Kriti Pulls His Leg)
