KARACHI: Actor Abhishek Bachan and Bollywood Star Aishwarya Rai Bachan have decided to give their daughter Aaradhya, a ‘normal’ childhood.

Father Bachan recently said, “I understand she’ll be photographed, but I’ll ensure that she has a normal upbringing.”

He added, “As a parent, it’s my choice how I want to bring her up. We weren’t given special treatment. I didn’t realise dad was a star till my teens He was Pa, and mom was Ma. We were not made aware of their celebrity status. Mom ensured that. I want my daughter to grow up as normally as I did.”

Bachan further emphasises, “My daughter is not an object to flash around or a prized item to put on display. She’s a small baby.”

According to media sources, the new parents have been adamant not to have their daughter in the media spotlight since her birth, late last year.
