Aishwarya Rai celebrated her 34th birth day in style in the vicinity of Taj Mahal along with her newly married husband Abhishek Bachchan, her Father in Law and her mother in Law. Aish came to Taj Mahal, as Abhishek was doing a commercial there.

She was happy and said "It's nothing like that. I'm bringing it in with Abhishek, Ma and Pa. Abhishek was shooting an ad in Agra on Wednesday. So I joined him with Ma and now Pa has also joined us. So you could say it's a perfect birthday by the Taj Mahal, though not quite at the Taj Mahal-have you seen the crowds over there? We can't risk going to the Taj Mahal, but a stone's throw away. Tomorrow (Thursday) I'll be heading back home. It's a pity my parents couldn't join us here in Agra." "My birthday in Agra was just tooooooo special. Someone up there has answered all my prayers." "I came back from the US from shooting Pink Panther in time for Karwa Chauth. God knows how the tv cameras got our shots, probably from neighbour's premise .We're just leading our lives normally. I don't know why or how the press has this hunger to know about us."

Laughingly Aish further said "This is my first birthday after marriage and therefore a very special occasion. But that apart, you know me. Spending time with the people I love is my greatest joy. I'm in a very happy place. And I don't mean Agra. Just being with three people who mean so much to me makes my life complete. God has been kind. There's great fulfillment in love and in being loved, by not just my husband but his parents who are now my parents. We're one family and we all love one another." "Well if you say I glow, it's the glow of happiness. I couldn't have asked for more You know me. Once I get into a subject I'm totally into it. But yes, I'm looking forward to working with Sir Ben again."

Then she said about Ben as "On the first day of shooting The Last Legion with him he walked up to me he said, 'I've this idea.' And he told me about the Shah Jehan-Mumtaz Mahal film that he'd like to do. You know, how many Taj Mahal scripts have come my way. I told Ben there have been many occasions when this subject has come to me. But there was something exceptionally interesting about the way he approached the subject. And yes, the whole process of discussing the subject with him was participative. After The Last Legion I kind of put it in the back of my mind. But earlier this year he confirmed it was on."
And for the birthday Aiswarya Rai wants, "Just blessings and good wishes. Apart from that God has given me everything."
