New Delhi, Feb 23: Fresh round of speculations regarding the name of Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachhcan's daughter was sparked by columnist and writer Shobha De's tweet.

"Beti B to be named Abhilasha?That's a stroke of genius. Well done,parents. Abhi and Ash.Truly inspired, if true," Shobha De tweeted.

However, Grand pa Amitabh Bachchan, who is currently recuperating in the hospital post abdominal operation, has denied the rumours and tweeted back saying 'not true'.

The buzz has it that the Bachchans would be formally announcing the name of the three-month-old once Big B is discharged from hospital. (ANI)
