Aishwarya Rai recently made waves with her stunning appearance at Paris Fashion Week, where she graced the ramp with her signature elegance. However, a family-related controversy soon overshadowed her fashion moment. Navya Naveli Nanda, granddaughter of Amitabh Bachchan and niece of Aishwarya, found herself in hot water after commenting on Alia Bhatt’s social media post while seemingly ignoring her aunt Aishwarya’s big moment.
Navya Nanda’s Comment Ignites Backlash
After Aishwarya’s and Alia’s appearances at the Paris Fashion Week, Alia shared a few pictures from the event on Instagram, which garnered a lot of attention. Among the many comments, Navya Naveli Nanda, daughter of Shweta Bachchan, left star emojis on Alia’s post. While a seemingly innocent gesture, this comment did not go unnoticed by fans, and it quickly sparked criticism.
Fans of Aishwarya Rai were quick to point out that while Navya praised Alia, she had not made any public acknowledgment of Aishwarya’s stunning appearance. This led to many questioning her support for her aunt, and some accused Navya of deliberately ignoring Aishwarya in favor of Alia Bhatt. One user commented, “Support your aunt too, not just Alia,” while another wrote, “Isn’t Aishwarya part of the family?”
Rumors of Rift Within the Family
This isn’t the first time Navya has faced backlash over her relationship with Aishwarya. Last year, during her own Paris Fashion Week debut, Navya received similar criticism for not acknowledging her aunt. At that time, she was supported by her mother, Shweta Bachchan, and grandmother, Jaya Bachchan. However, she didn’t mention Aishwarya, which led to speculations about tension within the Bachchan family.
The recent incident has reignited these rumors, with many fans speculating that there may be an ongoing rift between Navya and Aishwarya. Reddit discussions also flared up, with some users labeling Navya as “a troublemaker like her mother,” while others accused her of seeking attention through this act of omission.
The Family Connection Between Navya and Alia Bhatt
Navya’s connection to Alia Bhatt also adds another layer to this situation. Shweta Bachchan, Navya’s mother, is married to Nikhil Nanda, who is the son of Ritu Nanda—sister of Rishi and Randhir Kapoor. This makes Shweta Bachchan the sister-in-law of Ranbir Kapoor, who is married to Alia Bhatt. In this way, Navya shares a familial connection with Alia, which could explain her support.
Trolls Question Navya’s Intentions
Despite Navya’s comment being a simple reaction, social media users were quick to jump on it. Many questioned whether Navya intentionally ignored Aishwarya to show support for Alia. Others criticized the trolls for blowing the issue out of proportion, pointing out that commenting on social media posts should not be a matter of public scrutiny. Nonetheless, the controversy continues to spark discussions among fans.
Navya’s comment may have been meant as a kind gesture, but it has unintentionally drawn negative attention and reignited talks of family tensions within the Bachchan clan.
