When Aishwarya Rai Bachchan welcomed her baby girl in the world yesterday, it made a big splash in India and abroad.
Ash has the distinction of being the most recognisable Indian face on the global cinematic platform -- she first emerged on the international scene when she was invited to join the prestigious Cannes film festival jury in 2001.
Bigger things followed. She became a brand ambassador for cosmetics giant L'Oreal and signed films like The Pink Panther alongside Steve Martin and The Last Legion with Colin Firth.
Her Hollywood career didn't exactly pan out the way everybody had hoped and of late, her international appearances have shrunk to the annual Cannes visits as the L'Oreol brand ambassador.
So it was a bit of a surprise when news media all around the world wrote copious reports about the actress's delivery. While many termed her 'Bollywood Royalty', one particular publication made an astute observation -- Bachchan baby is a Scorpion, like her mom!
