A video from the 2024 IIFA Utsavam event in Dubai has been making waves on social media, showing Aishwarya Rai Bachchan giving a firm response to a reporter’s question about her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.

The mother-daughter duo attended the event in coordinated black-and-white outfits, captivating both attendees and fans. However, it was Aishwarya’s sharp reaction to a journalist’s comment that drew widespread attention online.

As they posed for the paparazzi, a reporter remarked, “She’s always with you, learning from the best,” referring to Aaradhya. Before the reporter could finish, Aishwarya interjected, firmly saying, “Woah!! She’s my daughter, she’s always with me,” in a tone that surprised many viewers.

The clip quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions. While some fans defended Aishwarya’s protective stance, others expressed disappointment, calling her response unnecessary.

The incident somewhat overshadowed the actress’s achievement at the event, where she won the Best Actress award for her role in Ponniyin Selvan II, a moment Aaradhya proudly witnessed.

This isn’t the first time Aishwarya has brought her daughter to a high-profile event, as Aaradhya previously made public appearances at the Cannes Film Festival.

Despite the online buzz, Aishwarya and Aaradhya continue to display their close bond, both on and off the red carpet.
