pHOTo Alert: Happy birthday Principessa!!!

Happy birthday, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! Abhishek Bachchan made Aishwarya’s 46th birthday extra special with an adorable wish on Instagram.

The couple are currently in Rome with their daughter Aaradhya and looks like Abhishek added a little Italian touch to his birthday wish for Aishwarya.

“Happy birthday, principessa,” he wrote on Aishwarya’s birthday greeting card, which is a stunning shot of the former beauty queen with the Roman cityscape in the backdrop.

For the uninitiated, “principessa” is Italian for princess and all we can say is Aishwarya, dressed in a floor-sweeping gown, looked every bit like a fairy tale princess.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Roman holiday is a mix of work and vacation, which explains her red carpet like look from last evening, when she attended at event to celebrate her 20 years of association with watch brand Longines.
