Beti B to be named 'Abhilasha'?

New Delhi: If the word on the street is to be believed, actors Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's newborn is likely to be named Abhilasha. A tweet from author Shobhaa De sparked off speculation on the name of the baby girl.

De tweeted: "Beti B to be named Abhilasha? That's a stroke of genius. Well done,parents. Abhi and Ash. Truly inspired, if true." The news has not been confirmed yet by any one from the Bachchan clan. But it did not stop people on Twitter from sharing the news, most retweeting De's cryptic tweet which does not specifically confirm the news.

Rai gave birth to a baby girl on November 17, the first child for the former Miss World and her actor husband Abhishek Bachchan. The delivery took place at the Seven Hills Hospital in Marol, Mumbai.

The word 'Abhilasha' means a wish or desire.
