Aish and Abhi retruning from Oscar programe

Aishwarya and Abhishek to be parents next year

The big, happy Bachchan family is about to get bigger as filmdom’s dashing couple Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan are all set to go the family way. The dazzling twosome, it seems, have decided to go for parenthood next year as they dedicate this year to finishing off all pending jobs and assignments.

According to the latest Bollywood news, Ash has been keeping busy this year as she plans to go for motherhood next year. The actress aims to seal all her projects to give full priority to her family.

According to a source close to the couple, the two feel pressurised into starting a family. Besides the relatives and the overtly curious media, the two are often dumbfounded when strangers come up to them and ask such personal questions.

Speaking to a news daily, a source said, “The two of them are fed up of relatives, strangers and relative strangers asking them when the stork is visiting. It’s as if their parenthood is a public issue. Even when they are at airports waiting to board flights, over-exuberant ladies rush to them with an inquisitive look on their eager faces. Even before these fans open their mouth, Abhishek knows exactly what the question is, and he gets visibly annoyed. Aishwarya handles such over-inquisitive attention far more graciously.”

But now, Aishwarya feels naturally inclined to start a family. The actress is busy working round-the-clock to complete her topnotch films including Vipul Shah’s ‘Action Replay’, Shankar’s ‘Robot’, Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavan’ and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’ for which she starts shooting in Goa in August, followed by Abhinay Deo’s ‘Crooked’.

Abhishek and John go for plan ‘G’ in 'Dostana'

'Dostana' explores male bonding and serves a cocktail of friendship, fun and love with a slight twist. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the film, lavishly shot in Miami, is releasing Friday.'Dostana' is trying to push the boundaries of male bonding, which is never seen before in Hindi movies. The subject of gay bonding has been a taboo,' Karan was quoted as saying.

Set in Miami, known for its sun kissed beaches, the film has an urbane look and the presence of actors -- John Abraham, Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra in the cast - compliments the theme. We are leaving no stone unturned to make 'Dostana' a film for all ages, for the young and the old and all those who are looking for genuine and great entertainment,' said Karan.

When Sameer (Abhishek) and Kunal (John) are turned down for an apartment because the landlady doesn't want two strapping young men to disturb her young niece Neha (Priyanka Chopra), they go to plan 'G' - they pretend to be gay to get the accommodation.

All is well till they meet Neha - both fall in love with her, try to woo her and thus begins a journey of fun, frolic and a test of friendship like never before. When Neha's boss Abhimanyu (Bobby Deol) enters the fray as the third contender for her affections, it gets even hotter. Priyanka has worked hard for her sexy image in the film. The promos of 'Dostana' and music have generated enough curiosity to lure the audience to the cinema halls.
