New Delhi: A regular family trip by the Bachchans and friends to the Amin Pir Dargah in Andhra Pradesh's Cuddapah district became pregnant with a rumour and innuendo that this visit was to seek divine blessing for Abishek and Aishwarya's baby to be.

Seven months after their wedding, as the rumour spiralled, it took a member of the Bachchan's inner circle to call them completely baseless. The family has been religious with their visits to temples and dargahs even before Aishwarya became part of the family and this has continued after her marriage.

The source also said that Aishwarya has little time to play mother, given the number of projects she has at hand. She is shooting Pink Panther 2 with Steve Martin and has to tour Europe and the US to promote it early next year. Aishwarya has also just finished filming Sarkar Raj, with Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan.

She also has a musical lined up early next year that will go across the world and feature her husband and father in law.

Her next release Jodhaa-Akbar opposite Hrithik Roshan is expected to release in January next year. With her dates diary fully blocked till late 2008, sources close to the family say, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has little time for the stork right now.
