Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a public figure; whether it be her acting career, endorsements or pageant days, so many are familiar with this blue eyed beauty. Aishwarya has been open with the public as to her personal life. She announced she was pregnant last year and her husband and father-in-law let us all know when the baby girl was born. Seven months later, Aishwarya is out and about and balancing motherhood with work. She recently spoke to reporters about how her life has changed just giving us a taste of what she has been busy with.

Aishwarya starts by saying, "Life has become quieter, which is very nice; I am spending a lot of time with her and just enjoying being a family." She goes on to say, "I have learned to manage my time better with work so that my family time isn't compromised too much. I prefer to take her with me on travels when the commitments are not too tight. My mother accompanies me to help with Aaradhya, so I am blessed that way."

While talking about Aishwarya's baby is a treat, reporters jumped right in to address Aishwarya's weight. She graciously responds, "It isn't surprising, in this industry it comes as standard when an actress becomes a mother the focus isn't on her health, it's how fast she lose her weight, I don't worry about this; to me, the well-being and the health of my family is more important than focusing on going back to my pre-pregnancy body in miracle time. It should not be taken to extremes."

Aishwarya balances her personal happiness with industry pressure and advises, "Don't be too hard on yourself, and take time to relax and connect with your newborn. At times this seems impossible but it's an essential part of juggling motherhood and a career successfully. And no matter what you do, don't forget about yourself. I believe that when you look good, you feel good and more confident, so caring for your hair, skin and body should not stop. If anything, you should do more of that so you are refreshed and positive when you're around your child and family."

Aishwarya comes across as cool, composed, and overjoyed with her current situation. Media can say all they want, this new momma is not phased by any of the garbage.
