Aaradhya Bachchan, daughter of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, comes from a lineage of artists and creators. Her great-grandfather was a renowned poet of the bygone era, while her grandfather, Amitabh Bachchan, is probably the greatest showman of our times.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made India proud by conquering the world with her beauty and talent. First by winning the Miss World beauty pageant and then by portraying numerous characters in successful and acclaimed Bollywood as well as Hollywood movies. Abhishek Bachchan is undoubtedly one of the most talented actors in Bollywood currently. It is only natural that a person who comes from such a gene pool would display creative prowess early on in their life.

Aaradhya Bachchan was in the spotlight even before she was born, thanks to the immense fame that her family enjoys in the country. We can easily spot her as the girl with a courteous smile in every picture. Recently her mother shared a photograph which proved that there is more to her than the polite smile on her face.
The whole world is struggling because of the pandemic. While Coronavirus is wreaking havoc all over the world and in everyone’s life, we have been asked to stay home to help flatten the curve. Our routines may be disrupted, and we may resent being bored at home, but at the same time, there are tens of thousands of workers in essential services sector who are risking their lives to serve us. Nurses, doctors, other medical staff, delivery personnel, the list goes on.

The authorities and organizations have been trying to make us aware of their sacrifice. The Bachchan family’s little angel made her contribution to the effort by making a heart-warming sketch. The drawing shows the young Bachchan family holding hands, in the safety of an umbrella provided by workers such as doctors, nurses, police, teachers, media, as well as those who keep our streets clean. The highlight of the image is the bilingual text that she included in the picture to thank everyone. She did not forget to include the popular motto that we are advised to follow these days: “Stay Home, Stay Safe.”
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan aptly captioned the picture, saying, “my darling Aaradhya’s gratitude and love.” Her followers on Instagram were well pleased with the image and showered the family with replies thanking the adorable, young lady.

The lockdown has pushed a lot of us, especially those who have a hectic lifestyle otherwise, to pursue their creativity more than usual. This is especially true of celebrities who are seen exploring their less-known sides along with their kids. Recently, Kareena Kapoor Khan took to Instagram to share multiple pictures of Saif Ali Khan and Taimur Ali Khan having fun painting walls. It is no surprise that the star kids are showing remarkable talent.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shared how she was happy to see Aaradhya’s eyes lit up at the mention of a possible Maleficent project involving Aishwarya. Addressing the issue of the growing paparazzi culture in India, especially around star kids, Aishwarya said, “Protect is the keyword. I think it’s a natural instinct of every parent. There is no going away from that…having said that this is the way of our chosen life.” At the same time, she urged the paparazzi to show some sensitivity around children so as not to scare them. According to her, the only way out is by actually conversing or engaging with them.
The Bollywood is now at a stage where there is equal attention given to star kids along with their parents. Many of them, like Kareena Kapoor Khan, has addressed this disturbing tendency and how it affects the kids. We are also happy for a platform such as Instagram are giving them some form of control. Again, in the time of quarantine, if gestures such as this beautiful drawing by Aaradhya helps us smile, it can be appreciated.
