Social Media Users Claim Alia Bhatt Excluded Aishwarya Rai from Paris Fashion Week Photo
Alia Bhatt has found herself in the spotlight for allegedly cropping Aishwarya Rai out of a photo shared on her Instagram following Paris Fashion Week. During the event, both actresses walked the runway for L’Oréal. Upon sharing a collection of photos from the occasion, Bhatt posted an image featuring herself alongside Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne, notably lacking her fellow actress, Aishwarya.
Fans on Reddit were quick to point out that the original image indeed included Aishwarya, raising questions about whether this exclusion was intentional or merely an oversight. While some dismissed it as a simple error, the situation has sparked a wave of discussion among followers.
The fashion show, titled “Walk Your Worth,” took place near the Opera Garnier in Paris on September 23, 2024, and featured prominent figures including Aja Naomi King, Eva Longoria, and others. Aishwarya made a stunning appearance in a bold balloon-hem red dress, while Alia dazzled in a metallic outfit. Aishwarya’s daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, was present to support her mother, while Alia’s mother-in-law, Neetu Kapoor, was also in attendance, showing her support for the actress.
Though Alia and Aishwarya didn’t have a chance to interact on the runway, they were spotted together in the make-up room prior to the show. This moment comes on the heels of Alia praising Aishwarya in an interview with Allure, where she expressed her admiration for Aishwarya’s dance performances and ability to inspire. Alia noted, “When it comes to learning or being inspired by someone who has embodied dance in the most beautiful way on screen, I can’t help but think of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She was absolutely, and still is, just mesmerizing.”
Alia elaborated on how Aishwarya’s performances have impacted her own work, stating that she often studied Aishwarya’s songs to glean insights into her expression and movement. “Whenever I had a song, I’d go to YouTube, type ‘Aishwarya Rai songs,’ and it’d come up. I’d look at all her songs just to catch the expressions and the way she moves from one move to another,” Alia mentioned, highlighting her respect for Aishwarya’s artistry.
