Former beauty queen turned Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a doting mother and there are no two opinions on that.

And now her grand plans for Aaradhya's 3rd birthday proves that she wouldn't leave any occasion to make her daughter's life extra special. The light-eyed beauty confessed that she is indeed planning a grand birthday bash for Aaradhya who turns 3 on 16th November.

Aishwarya herself turned 41 on this November 1 but she didn't celebrate it in a big way but when it comes to her daughter's 3rd birthday she is planning a grand one.

She confessed that her first birthday was celebrated with close friends and family; on her second birthday other kids were invited too. And now that she is planning this bash, she wants to have a mix of both.

The actress, who took a sabbatical from her career ever since the news of her pregnancy broke out, has been a hands-on mother to her daughter Aaradhya. She even took her to Cannes film festival as she didn't want to leave her aside even for few days.
