Abhishek Bachchan will be celebrating his 42nd birthday on February 5 this year and we have just got to know where! The junior Bachchans will enjoy some family time away from B-Town and will celebrate AB Jr’s birthday in Sydney. A source says, “Aishwarya has a brand event in Sydney and Abhishek and Aaradhya decided to accompany her. They will be staying back to celebrate his birthday after the event and then return to Mumbai.

They will also raise another toast as Aishwarya was awarded the prestigious First Ladies award by the honorable President of India Ram Nath Kovind at Rashtrapati Bhawan in Delhi. It is therefore is a dual celebration for the couple

“They fly to Sydney on February 1, reach on 2nd and the event is on the 3rd. They will stay back a couple of days after that after bringing in Abhishek’s birthday on February 5th and return on the 7th. Ash had first visited Sydney last year solo, for a brand event and loved the city. She wants to show it around to Abhishek and Aaradhya.”, says the source

There were reports that AB Jr wanted to celebrate his birthday with Ash and Aaradhya because the actress didn’t get along with his sister Shweta Bachchan Nanda. Last year, Aishwarya, Abhishek, Aaradhya, Amitabh Bachchan, his wife Jaya and their daughter Shweta had celebrated Abhishek’s birthday in Maldives. 

However, the source laughs off the rumours. “This holiday has got nothing to do with his family as Ash is very close to her sister-in-law.

Also, these brand events are planned way in advance and not last-minute. It was a mutual call taken by both. Abhishek will begin shooting after a gap of almost two years for Aanand L Rai’s Manmarziyan and Aishwarya will get busy while shooting the songs for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Fanne Khan. So both wanted to spend some time together, along with Aaradhya, before life becomes hectic for both again.”

Regarding the award, this is what the source said, “The award recognizes the contribution of 112 ladies in and outside the country and they will be awarded. Aishwarya is one of the most iconic and influential personality in Bollywood and while being in the film industry for more than two decades, she still holds the same charisma and is an inspiration to millions of her followers.

Much before Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone she was the first actor to be recognized as a global icon from India and also the first Indian actor to be a jury member at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. Honoring her with this great achievement, the Ministry of Women and Child Development of Government of India have added her in the list of 112 women achievers who have achieved a first in any field and made the country proud.” 

As a part of the felicitation, a lunch was also hosted by the WCD Minister Smt. Maneka Sanjay Gandhi in which I&B Minister, Smt. Smriti Zubin Irani felicitated them. 

The source concluded,”The Bachchan clan is extremely proud of the fact that their beautiful bahu is one of the awardees. Though Aishwarya was unwell, she made it a point to attend as it is a huge honor being felicitated by the President of India and be a part of such elite and powerhouse women.”
