Alongside her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai attended the International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) Utsavam 2024 in Abu Dhabi. In an interview with the media, Aishwarya gave an explanation for why Aaradhya frequently goes to events with her. When asked by a reporter, she replied, “She’s my daughter. She goes with me everywhere.” Additionally, earlier this week, Aaradhya accompanied Aishwarya to Paris for an L’Oreal Paris event, and they have since accompanied her to multiple Cannes Film Festival appearances.

Aishwarya gave filmmaker Mani Ratnam the Best Director (Tamil) Award for Ponniyin Selvan II during the IIFA Utsavam. In a touching moment, Aishwarya was seen touching Mani Ratnam’s feet to seek his blessings, followed by a warm hug. She reflected on her association with the director, saying, “I can’t even speak about his evolution as a maker because I have always respected him… I was so honoured that he asked me to be his Nandini in Ponniyin Selvan.”

In addition, Aishwarya’s performance in Ponniyin Selvan II—which received 13 nominations—won her the Best Actress (Tamil) award. Artists like Honey Singh and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy will perform at the IIFA Utsavam, a three-day event that honors the southern film industries, on September 29.
