Aaradhya Bachchan, daughter of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, celebrated her 14th birthday on Saturday, and the special day was marked with a warm and emotional message from her grandfather, Amitabh Bachchan. Born on November 16, 2011, Aaradhya has grown up under public attention, though her parents have always tried to shield her from the constant spotlight.
To celebrate her milestone, Amitabh Bachchan dedicated a heartfelt note on his personal blog, a platform where he often shares his thoughts and family moments. His message, though brief, reflected deep affection and the tender pride of a grandfather watching a child grow.
“Blessings on the eve of the little one, Aaradhya,” he wrote. “The child in us all grows with time and we wish them the mostest. We pray the same. And today be the dawn of the loved one’s birth. All blessings.” His words suggested both joy for the present moment and a remembrance of how quickly time has passed.
While expressing his birthday wishes, the veteran actor also reflected on the emotional tone of recent weeks. Without mentioning names, he acknowledged the grief caused by the passing of several members of the film fraternity.
He wrote that “the sadness of loss has been of immense grief, but life moves on,” adding that prayers continue for those who have departed. His note emphasized the need to “perceive, persist, persevere and continue to continue the odds of life.”
