  • “Strawberry,” as Aaradhya is fondly called by grandmother Jaya, has had cameras trained on her ever since she left Mumbai’s Seven Hills Hospital aged one week. They captured fleeting glimpses of the baby at various airports, despite the best efforts of Ash and her entourage who went to great lengths to keep Aaradhya’s face shielded from the cameras.
  • A London resident who happened to bump into Ash and Aaradhya revealed that Miss Bachchan had brown eyes like papa. It was just recently, at grandfather Amitabh Bachchan’s 70th birthday party on October 10, that the then-11-month-old Aaradhya made her public debut. And, yes, she does have papa’s eyes and colouring. (Read: Aaradhya has brown eyes, reveals fan who met Ash in London)

The name Aaradhya, which is Sanskrit for “one who is worth worshipping,” was rumoured to have been registered with the Bombay Municipal Corporation. Celebrities and non-celebrities alike joined the guessing game about the baby’s name with columnist Shobhaa De tweeting: "Beti B to be named Abhilasha? That's a stroke of genius. Well done,parents. Abhi and Ash. Truly inspired, if true." It wasn’t true. It was left to Amitabh Bachchan to confirm in May this year, on Twitter, that Aaradhya it was.
