Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan ushered in her 36th birthday with family members and close friends here on Sunday.

The actress, who has completed shooting for Mani Ratnam’s bilingual film Raavana had taken a break for a few days to start work on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzarish with Hrithik Roshan.

“We have also just brought in Aishwarya’s birthday and wished her love and happiness and a long prosperous life. It was just the family,” the actress’ father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his blog.
