Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently became a hot topic on social media, not for her films, but for a unique doll made in her likeness. The doll is based on her appearance at the wedding of Anant Ambani, where Aishwarya turned heads in a stunning red Anarkali suit and traditional jewelry. However, while the effort to create the doll was appreciated by some, many others took to social media to troll it, sparking a conversation online.
Artist’s Work: A Tribute to Aishwarya Rai’s Wedding Look
Nigeshan, a Sri Lankan artist, created this doll inspired by Aishwarya’s look from the Ambani wedding. He posted the doll’s picture and video on his Instagram, explaining that it was based on Aishwarya’s traditional red outfit. Aishwarya Rai’s wedding look was a topic of admiration, with her wearing a richly embroidered red Anarkali, adorned with gold jewelry. The artist aimed to capture this iconic look with intricate details on the doll, including the jewelry and the pose, which resembled Aishwarya’s graceful appearance at the event.
However, the outcome wasn’t exactly what some expected. While Nigeshan’s attempt was praised by a portion of his followers, many others couldn’t help but compare the doll to something else entirely.
Social Media Trolls: Comparisons to Radhe Maa and Manjulika
As soon as the post went viral, the internet was quick to react. Several users started making fun of the doll’s appearance, with some comparing it to the controversial spiritual figure Radhe Maa, while others likened it to the fictional ghost Manjulika from the Bollywood movie “Bhool Bhulaiyaa.”
One user sarcastically commented, “This is an upgraded version of Manjulika,” while another remarked, “For a moment, I thought it was Radhe Maa.” These comments spread across social media, drawing laughter and amusement from followers.
Despite the light-hearted trolling, some users defended the artist’s efforts, pointing out that creating something unique takes effort, and the intention behind it was good.
Support for the Artist’s Hard Work
While the doll didn’t entirely succeed in capturing Aishwarya’s beauty, many praised Nigeshan’s dedication. Some users were quick to highlight the artist’s hard work, acknowledging that creating a doll from scratch is no easy feat. One fan wrote, “Even though the face doesn’t match, it’s still a commendable attempt. People should appreciate the effort rather than mock it.”
Another user mentioned, “It may not be perfect, but someone put their time and effort into making something different. Instead of trolling, we should appreciate the creativity.”
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: Winning Hearts on and off the Screen
Amid the doll controversy, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan herself continues to receive accolades for her work. She was recently awarded the Best Actress (Critic) Award at the South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA) for her performance in the film “Ponniyin Selvan 2.” The award function was held in Dubai, where Aishwarya attended with her daughter Aaradhya. While Aishwarya was praised for her achievements, social media users again had something to say, questioning why Aaradhya was frequently seen accompanying her mother to international events, and when she goes to school.
Nonetheless, Aishwarya continues to shine in her professional career, as she gracefully balances being a global star, a mother, and a beloved public figure.
