New Delhi:
Actor Amitabh Bachchan had the perfect end to Valentine's Day with granddaughter Aaradhya Bachchan. In his blog, Mr Bachchan wrote about Aaradhya's desire to eat pizza and how the entire family obliged. He wrote, "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." Aaradhya, all of 5, is the daughter of actors Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan. The proud grandfather also shared details about Aaradhya's perfect etiquette at the restaurant. "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," wrote Mr Bachchan, 74.
The day ended with a long drive home for Amitabh Bachchan and Aaradhya. He reveals that when Aaradhya was asked to thank her grandfather for taking her out, she promptly replied, "I should not thank all, all must thank me for it was I that suggested we must go out for dinner."
