"I am feeling wonderful. I am very happy. By the grace of God, everything is wonderful it has been fantastic. It’s probably the best time for any normal girl. ," Aishwarya Bachchan nee Rai told a private news channel in Cannes where she is set to walk the red carpet with her husband at the film festival.

In perhaps her first interview after her marriage on 19th April, the Bollywood actress said, "It's all things good. It's a blessing. And it's a wonderful family," she said, going on to describe Abhishek as "superlative and fantastic".

Aishwarya, said she had found wonderful parents in her parents-in-law Amitabh and Jaya.

Asked if she had changed after marriage, she said, "No. I am just a normal girl in a wonderful time of my life, a very special time. It's fantastic. It's all things good." For many 'South Asian' women the honeymoon period can be a jarring time when they try to come to terms with the male sexuality. Most Desi girls are bought up to fear strange men and are admonished to guard their virginity no matter what. 

Sex is treated as a dirty activity, best not talked about and indulged in with the woman lying on her back wondering about the cobweb trailing on the fan with her husband humping her missionary style

Aishwarya, said she was at the Cannes Film Festival for a day after which she would continue with her holiday that is at its fag end.

She said she was looking forward to working with husband Abhishek and father-in-law Amitabh in “Sarkar II” "...Which will be a kind of working with family as we are all related now. 

It's always a privilege to work with actors like Abhishek and an iconic legend like my father-in-law," Aishwarya said.

The Bachchans will also be seen together in Karan Johar's forthcoming project.
