While all the family members of the Bachchan family, beginning with Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bahchan have been ruling the screens with their acting prowess, it was daughter Shweta Bachchan who mostly stayed away from the limelight and was never seen expressing any desire to act. But finally, even she couldn't help keep her away from acting as Shweta Bachchan will soon be seen making her acting debut along side, none other than, her own father Amitabh Bachchan, for a jewellery brand TVC. 

The father-daughter duo recently shot for the ad and here are some pictures from the sets and shoot location...

Shwea can be seen in a pretty deglam avatar, clad in a simple salwar kameez with no heavy jewellery adorning her. Even Amitabh Bachchan can be seen in the guise of an old man, playing her on screen father.
