Aishwarya Rai's Heartfelt Tribute to Late Father
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently paid a touching tribute to her late father, Krishnaraj Rai, on his birth anniversary. Known for her deep bond with him, Aishwarya took to social media to share heartfelt photographs of her daughter, Aaradhya, with her grandfather’s portrait. This emotional gesture reflects the love and memories they continue to cherish.
In the photos, Aaradhya is seen planting a sweet kiss on her grandfather's cheek, while Aishwarya stands beside them, beaming with joy. Another image showcases both Aishwarya and Aaradhya dressed in white, praying in front of the portrait of “Daddy-Ajja.” These moments capture the essence of family love and remembrance.
Aishwarya expressed her feelings in a heartfelt note accompanying the pictures. She wrote, “Happy Birthday dearest Daddy-Ajjaaa. Our Guardian Angel, love you eternally. Thanking you for ALL your infinite love and blessings as our Aaradhya turned 14.” This message beautifully encapsulates the enduring connection she feels with her father, even after his passing in 2017.
The actor has consistently honored her father on significant dates, making it a tradition to celebrate his legacy. Krishnaraj Rai was not just a father to Aishwarya but also a guiding force, and his absence is felt deeply within the family.
Aishwarya was last seen in the epic historical action drama Ponniyin Selvan: Part 2, directed by Mani Ratnam. The film, which features a stellar cast, including Vikram and Trisha Krishnan, received positive reviews and was a box-office success, earning ₹344.63 crore worldwide. For her outstanding performance, Aishwarya won the Best Actress in a Leading Role (Critics) award at the South Indian International Movie Awards, further solidifying her position in the film industry.
Her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, praised her work in the film, calling it her “best work till date.” Aishwarya continues to shine both as an actress and as a devoted daughter, keeping the memory of her father alive through her actions and heartfelt tributes.
