Aishwarya Rai has a close bond with her family. It's a close knit unit. And they've always stood by her in her time of need. The ties of blood went through a testing time recently when Ash's father Krishnaraj Rai complained of uneasiness on August 3rd.
The family rushed into action and within no time, Rai senior was being taken care of by a battery of doctors at the Hinduja Hospital. But what Ash had not anticipated was that within no time her father would have to undergo a serious three hour surgery.
It is reported that Aishwarya Rai was a picture of composure as she saw her father wheeled into the operation theatre. She wished her papa all the best. Breaking the conventions, she didn't cry or break down in spite of the growing uncertainties.
Good friend Abhishek Bachchan visited the hospital at night and took control of the entire situation. Amitabh Bachchan visited the hospital yesterday to extend his support. Aishwarya plans to visit Siddhivinayak Temple once her father gets out of the hospital.
