"Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has said it was not her intention to hide her baby from public view.  Speaking at a promotional event in Delhi for Longines, the actress, who gave birth to her first child in November 2011, said it was her instinct to protect her child.    The 39-year-old star told NDTV Movies about press attention: &amp;quot;I realised this would happen and expected it, and I don&amp;#039;t mean it in a bad way but there are people in my life like my parents who aren&amp;#039;t used to it.  &amp;quot;And with my baby with me, it&amp;#039;s instinctive. If I see her getting startled or her eyes opening I protect her. It&amp;#039;s not intentional that I want to keep her away.&amp;quot; The actress also commented on the intense speculation regarding her post-pregnancy weight, saying: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s never been an issue with me. Rather I have moms coming up to me and thanking me, saying that you are just like us. If my weight was an issue I would be under cover.&amp;quot; The Raavan star also confirmed that she plans to return to acting, explaining: &amp;quot;Soon. I am finally reading scripts. There are several offers but I am slowly getting around to reading scripts now.&amp;quot; Rai Bachchan recently said it was untrue that she would now only  star in films with husband Abhishek.
