Morphed pic of Aishwarya with her baby

« previous 1 of 2 next »

A few days ago when morphed pictures of Baby B were being circulated online, it created a furore, with the Bachchans being extremely upset about it. Now, the original image which had been used to morph those Ash's pics have been found, thanks to the ingenuity of Big B's EF or the extended family as he loves to call those who follow his blog.

Amitabh has thanked his EF for finding the original morphed image of his new-born granddaughter's picture. "Ladies and gentlemen of the EF world, I present to you the picture being circulated and also the original from where the morphing was done. A smart piece of work!! Not the morphing. The diligence of our EF team," Big B posted on his blog Bigb.bigadda.com.

"I have to say that the EF was incredibly smart! How on earth were they able to search for the original beats me. Well done dearest ones!," he added.

The 69-year-old received had got several requests for the baby's picture, but he had refused.
