On September 24, 2024, Alia Bhatt made headlines with her stunning debut at

Paris Fashion Week

.

She shared a series of captivating photos on Instagram, showcasing her glamorous look and expressing a heartfelt message about self-worth. In her post, Alia radiated positivity and inspiration, celebrating not only her achievement but also the spirit of empowerment that fashion can embody.

However, it was Navya Nanda’s comment on Alia’s post that drew significant attention. As the granddaughter of Bollywood legends Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan and currently a student at

IIM Ahmedabad

Social media users quickly reacted to Navya’s comment. On a Reddit post shared on BollyBlindsNGossip, one user remarked, “Chachi ko toh karliya support, ab maami ko bhi Kar lo,” suggesting that while Navya supported her aunt Alia, she should also acknowledge Aishwarya. Another user commented on the situation by stating, “They are so embarrassing. Navya is truly a mini Shweta it seems,” drawing comparisons between Navya and her mother, Shweta Bachchan Nanda. One user elaborated on the family connections by explaining that Alia is indeed Navya’s chachi (aunt), as her father Nikhil is a cousin of Alia.

The incident highlights ongoing discussions among fans regarding Aishwarya’s status within the Bachchan family. Despite her illustrious career and global recognition, some fans feel that she has not received the same level of familial support as other members of the family.
At Paris Fashion Week, Aishwarya Rai made a remarkable appearance herself. Dressed in a stunning red gown with a balloon hemline, she captivated audiences with her elegance and poise. The actress represented L’Oreal Paris at the event and was seen interacting with other celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Eva Longoria.
