At the recent IIFA Awards, actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was seen firmly shutting down a reporter who inquired about her daughter Aaradhya’s public appearances. During a media interaction on the red carpet, the reporter asked Aishwarya how she felt about Aaradhya being frequently in the spotlight at such events. The question seemed to irk the actress, who responded, “She’s my daughter. Stay away. She’s not here for your headlines.”
The incident has drawn both praise and criticism online, with some commending Aishwarya for protecting her daughter’s privacy, while others debated whether Aaradhya’s consistent presence at public events makes her a public figure. Aishwarya, however, has always maintained that Aaradhya is off-limits when it comes to media scrutiny. The protective mother has, on multiple occasions, stressed that she wants to ensure her daughter has a normal upbringing despite the Bachchan family’s celebrity status.
Aaradhya, now 12 years old, has been seen accompanying her mother to various high-profile events, sparking interest from the media and fans alike. However, Aishwarya has been clear about drawing boundaries, especially when it comes to invasive questions or prying into Aaradhya’s personal life. The incident at IIFA underscores her commitment to keeping her daughter’s privacy intact, even as she navigates the spotlight herself.
Social media reactions to the exchange were mixed, with many fans applauding Aishwarya’s protective stance, while some questioned whether Aaradhya should be kept out of the limelight entirely if privacy is such a concern. However, it’s clear that Aishwarya remains steadfast in her decision to shield her daughter from the intrusive nature of media attention, especially as Aaradhya grows older.
