When the world got the first glimpse of baby Aaradhya Bachchan last week, obvious comparisons where made between the little one and her mother.

When a reporter told her that her little one was cute, the gushing mom said, "I am totally besotted with my baby. I think that she's the prettiest in the world."

When the lady was asked about being a protective mom, Aishwarya replied, "Well, I think it's a mom's instinct to be protective. At the airport, when I saw 40 cameras flashing at my baby, it was natural on my part to shield her.

I don't want her to get hassled by this attention. After all, she's not even a year old."
