Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the name that spells class, beauty, elegance and success, held a press conference on occasion of her 40th birthday in Mumbai.
Aishwarya looked stunning and radiant wearing a red Abu-Sandeep salwar kameez, which was not a new outfit that she purchased for the occasion, she maintained!
Aishwarya Rai told her fans that daughter even sang a birthday song for her. "Since last evening she (Aaradhya) is wishing me happy birthday mama. Even at midnight she sang birthday song but with her name. It was sweet of her," she said.
When asked about her birthday celebrations, Aishwarya imminently said, “This year, birthday celebrations are Diwali celebrations and that’s the big party at home, that’s the way we are celebrating my birthday.” The actress also donated cash for cancer patients. Aishwarya said that this year it will be a quiet birthday for her with family – husband Abhishek and daughter Aaradhya – and close friends.
Aishwarya thanked all her fans for the best wishes: “Heartfelt thank you to everyone for the wishes. It's a good coincidence that my birthday comes with Diwali... It's a celebration time. I am thankful to God for this life... Thankful to my parents for this gift of life. It means a lot to me. I embrace everything that life gives me," Aishwarya said.
