No paternity leave please!

Soon-to-be-father, actor Abhishek Bachchan is not likely to take a few days off when wife, actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan delivers in November

It's mommy time in Bollywood with actors Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Lara Dutta Bhupathi expecting. While both the ladies seem to be resting at home, spending most of their time bonding with close friends and family, something they do not have the luxury of doing otherwise, their husbands seem to be working overtime. Aishwarya, who is due next month is spending time at home with family. Along with spending some quality time, she is also making appearances at a few events, the last few ones being a Mata Ki Chowki and a Hanuman Chalisa recital. While she has everyone around her, looks like hubby, Abhishek Bachchan will not be able to spend time with her during the last few days before the due date — the actor is too busy shooting round the clock for his projects. While there have been reports that he has been trying to get a few days off, sources close to the actor say that's totally untrue. A source says, "Abhishek is a professional and his work comes before everything else. He is not happy with these reports of him taking paternity leave for Aishwarya. He has an action-packed schedule till the end of this year. He has just wrapped up a schedule of Bol Bachchan with Asin in Jaipur and will start shooting for Dhoom 3 in November." While sources close to the actor deny him taking any paternity leave, there seems to be another reason as well. While Aishwarya is due in November as per reports, shooting for Dhoom 3 also begins around the same time. Actor Aamir Khan who is an important part of the ensemble cast has already allotted dates in November to the production house and Abhishek had also initially agreed. So now, he does not have much of a choice but fulfil his professional commitment.
