The Bollywood star, however, offered to take a step back and don the mantle of the first AD (assistant director) to bail out good friend and filmmaker Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra from a crisis recently.

Superstar Amitabh Bachchan has bought land in Daulatpur village in UP for the school to be named after his glamorous daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai

Amitabh is to be accompanied by wife Jaya, son Abhishek and Aishwarya.

My most favourite Valentine couple this year will have to be Abhishek and Aishwarya. In one year of marriage she has blended so beautifully in the Bachchan fabric. It’s hard for an outsider to imagine a time when she wasn’t one of the Bachchans.
