Read only if you are beside yourself with excitement at Aishwarya's pregnancy.

Amitabh Bachchan reacts: "There is joy and happiness around us. The legacy of my father lives on. My father and my mother brought forth two sons - Amitabh and Ajitabh.

Amitabh had two -- Shweta and Abhishek. Ajitabh had four, Nilima, Namrata, Naina and Bhim, who are yet to be married. My daughter is and has two children -- Navya and Agastya.

Now cometh the progeny of my son that shall bear the surname Bachchan -- the first in this generation.

My parents that reside in our hearts and above shall be most pleased and happy to see the family grow - a family that they started with care and love."
