Bollywood actresses and their feuds have always intrigued fans. From the Zeenat Aman-Mumtaz and Raveena Tandon-Karisma Kapoor spats to the Kareena Kapoor Khan-Bipasha Basu rivalry such gossip has always been a hot topic among Bollywood enthusiasts. However amid all these famous clashes a strong and affectionate bond developed between Sridevi and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Aishwarya fondly called Sridevi her Akka (big sister). Did you know that Sridevi once gifted Aishwarya a precious polki statement necklace? The stunning Sabyasachi piece was originally Sridevi’s own which she had paired with a black and blue Manish Malhotra saree at Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s wedding reception in Mumbai.
In South India it is a tradition that the senior actresses gift newcomers or younger actresses with their personal gifts like jewellery and sarees. That is why Sridevi gifted it to Bachchan who made her debut in the film industry with a Mani Ratnam movie.
We saw the same necklace on Aishwarya Rai after Sridevis demise at the wedding of Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta. Aishwarya attended the event with Abhishek and Aaradhya Bachchan looking stunning as always in a traditional red silk saree. However what caught everyone’s attention was the exquisite necklace she wore which became the highlight of her overall look.
While many assumed she was simply flaunting the elaborate piece a few years later renowned fashion designer Manish Malhotra revealed the real reason behind it.
