Amitabh Bachchan might be the superstar for millions of people across the world, but when it comes to his granddaughter Aaradhya, he is just a grandfather. In his latest blog post, the actor turned into a gushing grandfather as he adored the tiny tot's 'intelligence' on getting the family together on V-Day.
Writing in the post, Bachchan describes how the family had to rush to fulfill Aaradhya's wishes of having a pizza on Valentine's Day. As it goes, grace runs through the family. Describing her manners at the table, Bachchan writes, 'The grand daughter here at home, has most politely expressed a desire to eat a Pizza at an Italian restaurant .. and there is a flurry of activity to make her desire .. we just did .. and Miss Aradhaya has quietly and in most dignified manner, sat at her table, spread the napkin across her legs, ordered the menu by drawing the attention of the waiter .. giving instructions of just how crisp she wanted her Pizza to be .. and when it has arrived has most politely turned to the waitress, thanked her for the dish and then .. ‘wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day ..’ musically departs her tender lips, as she settles in to devour her favourite ..'
While the dinner does sound like a thoughtful gesture, Aaradhya took it a step further by refusing to thank her grandpa for it. In fact, she wanted the family to thank her because it was her idea after all. 'Deed over she has desired her Dada ji to drive her back home, which he willingly does and on getting home when other family ask her to thank me for taking her out, goes quiet and puts on a sulk ..Why .. ? She replies : “I should not thank all, all must thank me for it was I that suggested we must go out for dinner” ..' writes Bachchan.
Little wonder then that the veteran superstar adores her so. He goes on to say that his granddaughter is '5...with an additional 0..50!' in age.
Regardless, it does sound like the perfect way to spend Valentine's evening.
