She teamed it up with a churidaar and a blue net dupatta. In accessories she wore a statement emerald choker necklace. But more than her style and fashion, what caught our eye was the exuberance she exuded. Aishwarya Rai looked decidedly aglow with her newfound motherhood. There’s a wee bit chubbiness to her face and frame as well, but it makes her look all the better. Aishwarya Rai was accompanied to the wedding reception by Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. Apparently, Abhishek Bachchan took up the baby-sitting responsibility for the day.

Aishwarya Rai left baby Beti B in the capable hands of husband Abhishek Bachchan, as she attended the glamorous wedding reception of Genelia D’Souza and Riteish Deshmukh, on Saturday evening. Abhishek had attended the actual nuptials but the couple appear to be taking it turns to stay with Beti B. Aishwarya Rai, accompanied by her parents-in-law Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, joined a host of Bollywood celebrities at the Grand Hyatt, Mumbai, Emirates 247 reported.

The occasion marked one of Aishwarya's first public appearances since giving birth to the still unnamed Beti B in November. Amongst the Bollywood crowd famous names in attendance included Imran Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, and Bipasha Basu.

According to Dna India the Genelia-Riteish wedding took place in the morning at St. Anne’s Church. Genelia looked stunning in a white dress for the wedding, later changing into "a dark peach lehenga with a draped duppata" for the reception. Meanwhile the Times of India reported that Abhishek celebrates his birthday on Sunday, turning 36. He has received a host of birthday wishes on Twitter.

So who will be filling Aishwarya's (incredibly accomplished) shoes this year? Some new up and comer perhaps? A young starlet just beginning her career? Perhaps another Indian beauty queen?

Not quite. Aishwarya's replacement is none other than Karisma Kapoor. Lolo is one of a handful of former Bollywood stars making a comeback this year (fellow comeback queens include Madhuri Dixit and the glorious Sridevi) and her first film after all these years away, Dangerous Ishq, will be making a showing at Cannes.

Thanks to Aishwarya Rai's decision to stay out of the public eye for the rest of the year to care for Beti B, Karisma Kapoor won't suffer the fate of other Indian actresses who have forayed to France–namely being overshadowed by Mrs. Bachchan.

Speaking of Aishwarya Rai, wonder what she thinks about handing over the title of India's Queen of Cannes to Lolo. Karisma was, after all, engaged at one point to Aishwarya's husband, Abhishek Bachchan; and Karisma's sister, Kareena Kapoor, is currently filming for Heroine, the film that was snatched away from Aishwarya when she became pregnant.

Regardless of the Cannes trip, it's great to have Karisma Kapoor back in the film business again. She was always known as a lovely and talented young woman and it was a shame when she gave up her career in exchange for married life. Now a whole new generation of fans will have a chance to see her on screen!

Fact or not, the news spread like wildfire on the net over the weekend. The web has been abuzz with speculation that she might have posed for the cover after the birth of her daughter or she might have done the shoot while she was pregnant last year. However, those speculations are just that. For, Aishwarya looks quite slim and trim unlike her real-life image in recent years.

A quick search of the photo on the internet reveals the same image on various websites. In the image, Aishwarya is wearing a white suit and a hat with feathers. Elegant Living probably put Ash's face on the cover as a marketing gimmick and get her fans to buy a copy of the magazine in the hope that it contains the latest pics of the Bachchan daughter-in-law and her 'Bitiya', as Amitabh Bachchan refers to his grand daughter.

Now, it is no secret that entire India and the Bachchan clan's fans globally are dying to get a glimpse of Beti B , know her name and generally get an idea on what is going on in the Bachchan household in Mumbai's Juhu and what is delaying the formal naming of the baby. The magazine obviously tries to cash-in on the hype surrounding the Bachchan family, criticises the website.

It's mum all the way for Aishwarya Rai and 'Beti B'
The fact is that far from rushing off for a shoot and leaving her daughter behind at the mercy of a care giver, Aishwarya Rai is actually looking after her two-month-old daughter all by herself. She has refused to keep a nanny and is looking after all her daughter's needs, which include feeding, bathing and even massaging the little one, proud hubby Abhishek Bachchan revealed recently.

Of course, Bollywood's first family's other members are there to entertain her. Ash is expected to take a long time off from work and is enjoying her turn at motherhood.

Aishwarya has also been keeping away from the social circuit to concentrate on her daughter. Her fans got a rare peek when Ash and the rest of the Bachchan clan drove out of their Juhu residence with Oprah Winfrey in tow, to attend a party thrown in her honour.

Abhishek also told the Indian magazine Filmfare during his interview that Ash is enjoying the bonding time with her baby and loves doing little things for their daughter. Lucky 'Beti B'!

Says Amrita Pandey – Senior Vice President, International Distribution and Syndication, UTV Motion Pictures – “Guzaarish continues to be a film widely picked up by non-traditional international markets also besides the traditional ones. The film has been loved by audiences across the world and we are glad newer markets are showing keen interest in the film. Because of its cinematic value, even after a year of its release the response from new audiences is heartening. We are also talking to a leading European distributor to have Guzaarish released in France. This will be a first-time ever Bollywood acquisition from France.” She further adds, “Latin America as a new market is a focus for us. The Indian population is limited in Peru, which makes it even more significant an achievement to have managed a release for the film there. We’re looking forward to the Guzaarish release in Peru.”

Here are the posters.

When the cover first came to light yesterday it was surprising, because it seemed unlikely that Aishwarya would have had taken the time to pose for a magazine cover, especially given how reclusive she’s been since Beti B was born. And then the questions began: was the photo taken before or after she gave birth? Or was it taken before she even became pregnant? While Aishwarya always looks lovely, the picture of her on the cover depicts a much younger, slimmer Aishwarya than has been seen the last few years.

And as it turns out, the photo (in which Aishwarya wears a white suit and lowcut blouse with what is frankly a ridiculous feathered hat) is quite old. A quick reverse Google image search shows that the portrait of Aishwarya has appeared on dozens of websites over the past couple of years.

So why did Elegant Living bother featuring Aishwarya Rai if they weren’t even interested enough to get a more recent photo of her? The magazine cover touts this as their special issue on India, so perhaps they decided to entice readers by featuring the only Indian celebrity most Americans have even heard of on their cover?

The cover is insulting to Aishwarya’s fans, who have been desperate to catch a glimpse of her (and her daughter) ever since she gave birth. To feature Aishwarya on the front of the magazine using such an old image seems like nothing more than a ploy to gain a few extra readers.

Oprah Winfrey, on her recent maiden visit to India, went to meet Beti B straight from the airport to the Bachchan home in Juhu, even before stepping into the social scene in Mumbai. That speaks volumes about the importance of being 'Beti B'.

Oprah refused to give away 'Beti B's' official name to the media. She simply responded, "I'll just call her Princess. She's beautiful."Amithabh Bachchan lated tweeted: "The gracious Oprah Winfrey visits our home, to meet us and bless the baby…warm hearted, endearing…drive her to the party in her honour. And Oprah in sari… looking lovely!!" Winfrey's visit to the country was in connection with her new talk show, "Next Chapter". She also attened the Literary Festival in Jaipur.

Oprah Winfrey, who recently visited Aishwarya Rai was one among the few lucky people to have a glimpse of Aishwarya and Abhishek's daughter. When Hindustan Times insisted on her view of Beti B, Oprah Winfrey said, “She is gorgeous, even with her eyes closed.”

Well, that's the only reply that the media could get from the chat show queen about Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's baby. What one can gather from this is that Beti B was fast asleep during the one hour that Oprah spent with the Bachchan family.
