Being a celebrity comes with its fair share of pros and cons. On one hand you can enjoy fame, money and all the luxuries in the world, on the other, your personal life is played out in public.
But if you still manage to have a normal relationship with your partner and enjoy the littlest of things, that's what makes your marriage stronger. This is exactly the mantra that Bollywood's golden couple Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan seems to have followed thus far.
Like any other working couple, even they seem to try and keep things as grounded and normal as possible and that includes quality family time. The couple recently flew to Dubai with their daughter Aaradhya, after participating in Ganpati celebrations back home.
The trio was clicked at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai by a fan, where Aaradhya is seen facing her mum. But the real reason why Abhishek whisked away doting wife Aishwarya and his daughter can teach Indian husbands a great lesson.
A source close to the couple told a daily that Abhishek not only wanted to pamper his wife before her hectic schedule began, but was also interested in spending quality time with his daughter, Aaradhya.
"Last time they went on a holiday together was to New York and London in summer but they were accompanied by Ash’s family then. This time it was just the three of them. Abhishek had some work commitments and he wanted Ash to relax before she got into the hectic promotion of her upcoming film," said the source.

He gave the Mrs some relaxing time!
The source added that while this was the first time, post their July vacation that the doting parents were alone on a foreign land, it was also a time closely planned by Abhishek for Aishwarya to experience something special.
He said, "They stayed at an exclusive beach resort where Ash got pampered at the spa and Abhishek kept Aaradhya company on the beach. After the holiday, AB remained back in Dubai to complete his work, Ash returned with Aaradhya as it was time for the school to reopen."
Many pictures and videos of the mother-daughter duo returning to India went viral, and by the looks of it one could make out that the mother-daughter duo looked quite happy.
While some may call this luxury, but for a couple that stays away from each other for a long period, such family vacations are more of privileges. Plus, this is also a lesson on how husbands can keep the romance alive and the Mrs happy, even with kids arounds.
3 ways you can rekindle your romance after kids
If you are a busy parent, just like most of us, you probably get very little time with your partner. But that does not mean you should give up and not seek some quality time alone. In fact, seeking and making quality alone time is the best way to keep the romance alive.
- Take time out for date nights: After a long and busy week of work, it's not such a bad idea to have the Saturday all for the two of you. Make it seem like you are going on a date, just like you did before marriage. After all, it was these dates that made you fall in love with each other. So why not relive the past. If you have kids, it's best to hire a nanny or ask a family member to help out, so you have some romantic time alone. We bet Abhishek must have done the same, given how much-in-love this couple is even today!
- Shower each other with gifts: Busy schedules sometimes don't even allow that one night together, but a gift can always put a smile on your partner's face. A thoughtful personal gift could indicate that you have put in some effort. A simple gift could also be a day off for your spouse, just like Abhishek made sure Aishwarya had.
- Bring the 'wife mode' back from the 'mum mode': If you have a fixed sleeping time for your kids, your wife can switch off her 'mum mode' and switch on her 'wife mode.' This gives you time to reconnect or do the things that the two of you like doing with each other. Know that your wife is stressed and needs to relax from her 24x7 mum and wife job too, so maybe just let her do her own thing during this 'wife time.'
With just these simple activities and initiatives, you can easily rekindle that lost romance and also give your wife a chance to relax.
