Abhishek Bachchan along with wife Aishwarya found time from his busy schedule for another member of his family, he's close to.

That member happens to be Jaya Bachchan's mother who he met in Bhopal, just before he and wifey flew to France to attend the 62nd Cannes Film Festival.

A source has revealed: "It was a flash visit last week. Abhishek had never visited his naani with Aishwarya. They wanted to surprise her. They had a day off. So they just took off for the day. There was no direct flight. So they had to take a hopping flight. But it was finally worth it because the visit made their grandmother in Bhopal so happy."

The Bachchans can never stop showing off their family ties in public. This sure is one big happy family.

And they mix business with pleasure quite well.

After the meeting, the two took off for Cannes to attend the festival that opened Wednesday.

The source added, "They've both gone on a personal and very special invitation from the Cannes Festival organisers. Aishwarya attends the festival opening or closing every year depending on the availability of time. Abhishek just decided to accompany his wife on the special invitation from the festival organizers."

But they will return immediately so that Aishwarya can resume shooting with Akshay Kumar for Vipul Shah's ‘Action Replay', while Abhishek will join his father, Amitabh Bachchan, for his next schedule of R Balakrishnan's ‘Paa'.

Well, whatever, one must say the Bachchans how to balance their personal and professional lives well! Many B-Town folks have a lot to learn from them.
