After Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s father, Krishnaraj Rai had left for the heavenly abode, her father-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan had tweeted for his samdhi, “Death has but one end .. and words cannot define it ..!!” On his blog, he had written, “Death.. the inevitable end… That call you wait anxiously knowing that it will come, and come it does to end all other calls .. glimpses of reactions in the mind, of the lost one, of those that shall reflect on the lost one .. and suddenly then in the midst of sorrow and grief among the grieved and grieving. That walk to the ultimate destination and the reality… Embracing the tragedy, the discussions on its transport, its rituals, its formalities… The custom, the tradition, the visitors with the sadness and the embrace of consolation, the last rites, the carriage, the placement, the cremation… What to say what to put out where to put to… All laden with grief and departure.”
How Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was inconsolable after her father’s demise and the way she had juggled between hospital and home, a source was then quoted as saying by India.com, “Aishwarya has been heartbroken. She’s been spending sleepless nights worrying crazy about her dad’s deteriorating health. Amid all this, it is heartening to see how Abhishek has been keeping her company. Aishwarya has been ignoring herself while taking care of her father. Abhishek has been taking care of her and making sure that she eats and sleeps every few hours. He has made sure to be around. Both of them spend most of their day and night at the hospital, stepping out to go home only to freshen up and to check on daughter Aaradhya, who’s been taken care of her paternal grandparents – Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan.” (Also Read: Anita Hassanandani And Rohit Reddy's Son, Aaravv Reminds His Dadi Of Dad's Childhood, Flaunts Dimple)
