Sources close to Bachchans reveal that Aishwarya Rai has been taking medicines to cure her TB but it is yet not fully gone and unless she is fully satisfied of her capacity to bear a child, she is not going to be in the family way.
In fact, Aishwarya Rai, too, wants to have kids, much like her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan and other members of the household, but doctors do not approve of going for a kid under such circumstances and so the lady has been avoiding getting pregnant.
Sources say that her stomach pain is sometime severe and even can affect the fetus if she decides to take the plunge to fulfill Big B’s wish of having a grand son at the earliest. Considering the condition of Aishwarya Rai, even Amitabh Bachchan has stopped expressing his wish for a grand son anytime soon, and nowadays goes on saying that whenever it has to happen will happen, seemingly in a mood of resignation.
The indication of Aishwarya Rai’s giving birth to a child being delayed by tuberculosis had also come through Amitabh Bachchan’s blog where he had written about the dreaded disease. In fact, Big B had questioned the popular belief that only poor people were affected by tuberculosis, but desisted from confirming about Aishwarya suffering from this disease.
Sources close to Bachchan household say that family’s urgency in having a kid also comes from the fact of Aishwarya Rai’s age, which is now in the latter half of thirties(Aishwarya is thirty- seven years, while Abhishek Bachchan is younger by three-four years).
However, Bachchans do not want to put any pressure on Aishwarya Rai regarding getting pregnant or anything like that. They are prepared to wait for some more time and have been posing to the world as if Aishwarya Rai was not getting pregnant due to her professional commitments towards films of different producers –directors.
Presently, Aishwarya Rai is working in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming flick ‘Guzaarish’ opposite Hrithik Roshan. She has been shooting for the film at a stretch because she plays the central role of a nurse to Hrithik Roshan who suffers from some form of handicap and confined to a wheelchair in the flick.
Aishwarya Rai’s other film ‘Raavan’ opposite hubby Abhishek Bachchan is almost complete and director Mani Rathnam is said to be busy with post-production work of the flick. Aishwarya is playing the character of Sita in this modern adaptation of Valmiki’s ‘Ramayana’ by ace southern director Rathnam. Vikram also plays an important role in the film.
