A proud grandfather, Amitabh tweeted, “I AM DADA to the cutest baby girl!!”

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai married on April 20, 2007 in a much publicised wedding that had taken place in a private ceremony at ‘Prateeksha’, the Bachchan residence in Juhu, Mumbai.

Twitter has been the speculation ground for the Bachchan baby since long. There have been speculations on the exact date of delivery and the gender of the baby.
