November 29, 2024: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan’s personal lives often attract attention, and recently, Aishwarya’s sister-in-law Shrima Rai found herself in the midst of unexpected social media controversy. Speculation about a possible rift between Shrima and Aishwarya arose after an old interaction on Instagram was taken out of context.
The situation began when social media users discovered a previous Instagram post shared by Shrima, which featured her family, including her husband Aditya Rai, their children, and Aditya’s mother Vrinda Rai (Aishwarya’s mother). Some users expressed surprise at learning Shrima’s connection to the Bollywood star, with one commenter writing, “I never knew you were Aishwarya’s sister-in-law until your recent pictures.” Shrima responded, “Good, I want you to see me for me.”
This response led to widespread rumours online, particularly on Reddit, that Shrima does not get along with Aishwarya since she rarely posts about her or her niece Aaradhya.
Shrima Rai’s Response
To address the rumours, Shrima shared a screenshot of a direct message she received from the original commenter, who apologised for the misunderstanding. The user clarified that their comment had been misinterpreted by media reports, writing, “My comment was just a sudden reaction to knowing that you guys are related. Media has added so much masala, and my comment has been shown in the wrong way… You have your own identity, and I respect that.”
Shrima graciously replied, “It’s not your fault.”
In addition, Shrima issued a statement explaining her journey and independent achievements. She said, “Before becoming a blogger, I worked in wealth management for years. I’ve also been Mrs. India Globe 2009. I have never used anyone’s name to build my career. As a woman, I take pride in my independent achievements and won’t allow anyone to undermine that.”
Shrima, a beauty influencer with over 100,000 Instagram followers, frequently shares lifestyle and beauty content. She has maintained a distinct identity, separate from her ties to the Bachchan family.
Additional Speculation About the Bachchan Family
Meanwhile, Aishwarya herself has been making headlines after her surname was omitted from an introduction at a Dubai event, where she was referred to as “Aishwarya Rai—International Star.” The omission sparked online chatter amid ongoing speculation about her marriage with Abhishek Bachchan.
Shrima’s dignified handling of the situation has been praised, as she reiterated her focus on her independent career while clarifying misconceptions surrounding her family relationships.
