Amitabh Bachchan brought the new member of the family home in suburban Mumbai and tweeted, "THE 'lady' is home !"

Bachchan was the one to carry the baby from the hospital. He added "carried her from the hospital as per tradition. My Father carried her father home. Blessings and wishes from all."

The elder Bachchan said the baby was first taken to Prateeksha, the family's second residence in Juhu, to seek the blessings of his late parents, poet Harivansh Rai and Teji Bachchan. He tweeted, "Jaya stayed back to prepare her welcome to our homes. Prateeksha first,obeisance at temple and to her GreatGrands and then Jalsa .."

The newborn baby girl in Bollywood's first family resembles daughter-in-law, Aishwarya, revealed proud grandfather. "A newborn's features always keep changing, but I felt she looked like Aishwarya," said Bachchan. "Some other members of the family felt she also had Abhishek's features." He was sitting beside his actor son Abhishek at a press conference in the open courtyard at the Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd. office in Juhu.

The next question on everybody's mind is: What is going to be the baby's name? Abhishek had launched a Twitter appeal earlier in the day to fans, asking that they suggest names for the newborn. "All suggestions are welcome and we are receiving so many already," Amitabh said. "He added there was just one stipulation. "Aishwarya and Abhishek want the baby name to start with the alphabet 'A'."
