She was speaking at a media briefing organised by Mumbai-based Wizcraft International Entertainment to announce the Bachchans' Unforgettable Tour of 18 countries, starting July 2008. She was asked if she is planning to have a baby, when the moderator at the podium intervened to remind reporters that they should limit their questions related only to the Unforgettable Tour. But Ash insisted on answering the question, saying: "I am looking forward to having a baby. I am enjoying my married life, no question about it. I have an incredible husband and life continues."She implied that marriage does not mean the start of a next phase. "Yes, there are a lot more responsibilities and life is hectic, but it (marriage) was a very conscious decision. I am very happy. We take life as it comes and take it one day at a time."

Reveals Anil proudly, "Satish Gujral's painting depicting Gandhiji and his son Harilal was auctioned for 65,000 dollars. A gentleman from Dubai bought it.
