Aishwarya Rai Bachchan celebrated her 39th birthday with much honour on November 1, when she received the prestigious Officer Dan Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres -- the second highest French civilian award -- by the French Government in Mumbai.

Ash's baby Aaradhya, who will turn one this month, made a very cute picture with her mum.

The entire family came down to cheer Ash, when she received the French honour -- husband Abhishek, pa-in-law Amitabh Bachchan, parents Vrinda and Krishnaraj and brother Aditya.

Abhishek was quite the doting daddy, as he fussed around baby Aaradhya.

Ash had missed out on the French honour twice earlier.

In 2009, Ash had been felicitated with the Officer Dan Ordre des Arts et des Lettres but she had refused, as her father had been unwell.

She missed out last year as well, since the French government postponed the ceremony in deference to the victims of the Mumbai bomb blasts.

She finally received it on her birthday this year.
