For Bachchan bahu, her family relationships come first! She has also proved this recently.

Despite illness, she went to Bhopal in order to celebrate the 80th birth anniversary of her loving hubby's maternal grandmother.

A source close to Ash said that this was a promise the pair had made to Jaya's mother sometime back.

And in spite of the high fever and pharyngitis that she has been suffering from since a few days, the brilliant actress made sure she was there to accomplish her promise.

"Aishwarya is much much better, but still not 100 percent (fine). But she's my nani's favourite so she made the trip too. Should be back to fighting fit... in a day or two," Abhishek posted on social networking site Twitter.

On this, Abhishek said that nani ji's facial expression on seeing both of them was "invaluable".

"Made a surprise trip to Bhopal last night (Monday). Was my nani's 80th birthday! Her expression was priceless. All her grandchildren flew in from all over. My sister, our cousins all meeting after so long. Now everyone partaking in an old Indian habit, all sitting together... Eating, drinking and catching up!

"My nani, of course, is back to being the matriarch! Making sure all her children are well fed and taken care of and doing what grandmoms do... feeding," Abhi added. (With Input from Agencies)
