Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in no rush!

Ever since news of actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s pregnancy was announced, the she has been on a self-imposed hiatus.

Now, enjoying motherhood to the hilt, the actress’s in no rush to get back to films anytime soon. But that hasn’t stopped hopeful filmmakers from offering her scripts. Confirming this, a source says, “Filmmakers are still sending her their scripts knowing very well that Aishwarya’s too busy being a mum to read them at the moment. But they are still hoping that their scripts will be considered whenever the actor is ready to sign films and continue to drop by scripts at her Juhu residence.” 

Apparently, several production houses have been informed that she’s not looking at films yet, but that hasn’t deterred them from sending scripts across and there are always films they want her to consider at least once, informs an insider.

Of these several filmmakers are offering her to pair up with hubby Abhishek Bachchan too, hoping that working with him again may just do the trick. 

But as of now, apparently nothing has caught Ash’s fancy who’s even keeping away from the social circuit, except for close family functions.

“Attending the recent bash hosted by Parmeshwar Godrej for Oprah Winfrey was a rare exception though. That’s because Oprah is a dear friend and she had personally invited her over to India when she was the guest on her show twice,” says a source. “So, Oprah kept her promise by dropping by the Bachchan residence on her visit here and Ash was more than happy to host her.”

But these commitments apart, according to insiders, the actor is enjoying being a mum too much to consider film offers yet.

“Aishwarya’s a completely hands-on-mum and is totally enjoying this phase of her life and doesn’t want to be distracted by work at all. Her return will depend on whenever she feels comfortable, but we don’t think anything immediately is on the cards yet,” says another insider.
