In all probability, Aishwarya and Abhishek's child will be a baby girl. Also don't be surprised if they have duplets.

Don't worry. The Bachchans haven't gone against the law to check the gender of the new entrant in their family. Ever since Amitabh Bachchan tweeted last night and confirmed the news of Aishwarya's pregnancy, there has been a hullabaloo about the gen-next Bachchan's arrival. We checked with astro-numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi on what do the numbers says about Ab Baby's baby.

"I had already predicted way back in November 2010, that Aishwarya Rai would embrace 'motherhood' in 2011", claims Bhavikk Sangghvi. So will it be a boy or a girl we ask him and he says, "In all probability, it will be a baby girl.

"Aishwarya Rai's 'destiny' number adds up to Number 5 (Mercury – 1st November 1973) and Abhishek's ruling number also remains the same (5th February 1976)", he explains.

"Its symbol is represented as twins. So don't be surprised if they have duplets. Even otherwise, Gemini is considered to be a 'feminine' star sign and the chances of a female child are much higher".

"Not to mention, the baby would be angelic looking just like her mom; but she will adapt her height from her father's side", describes Bhavikk about the yet-to-be-born features.
