May 22, 2025: The internet is abuzz once again with a heated (but affectionate) debate, and this time it’s all about Aaradhya Bachchan—the daughter of Bollywood royals Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan.
This latest round of discussions was triggered not by a public appearance or paparazzi shot of Aaradhya, but by throwback photos of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan that recently went viral. Fans began comparing her childhood pictures to Aaradhya’s, and the debate was instantly reignited: who does Aaradhya resemble more—her mother or her father?
Last week, Aishwarya set the internet ablaze with her stunning looks at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. From a Manish Malhotra saree complete with sindoor and her signature center-parted hair to a show-stopping black Gaurav Gupta gown, she reminded everyone why she remains a global icon of beauty and elegance.
But this week, it’s her younger self making headlines. Childhood photos of the former Miss World have surfaced online, and fans can’t help but analyze them closely for similarities to Aaradhya.
One admirer gushed, “She is the epitome of ‘bhagwaan ne bhot fursat me banaya hai’,” while another described her as “an ethereal living painting.” The admiration was unanimous, but opinions quickly diverged when it came to spotting the family resemblance.
Team Aishwarya
Some netizens were certain that Aaradhya is her mother’s “mini-me.”
- “The second last pic is quite telling,” noted one user.
- Another wrote, “Aaradhya really is her mini me!”
- One comment hilariously observed, “Now I know where Aaradhya’s hairstyle inspo comes from.”
Team Abhishek
Others firmly believe that Aaradhya takes after her father.
- “She’s a clone of her dad. Stop it,” commented one user.
- Another stated, “Aaradhya is a mini version of Abhishek.”
- A witty comment read, “Only the hairstyle is the same. She is the spitting image of Abhishek.”
Verdict?
With parents as strikingly attractive and charismatic as Aishwarya and Abhishek, perhaps Aaradhya simply got the best of both worlds—in looks and charm.
As the debate rages on, one thing’s for sure: this star kid has inherited a legacy of beauty, poise, and attention, whether she looks more like mom or dad.
