An old video of Aishwarya Rai with her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan has gone viral where the two are dancing happily in a party. Aishwarya Rai is known for setting some serious motherhood goals whenever she is out and about with Aaradhya. In the video, while the mother-daughter look pretty and dance casually, netizens are finding it hard to keep calm. Apparently, they feel Aishwarya’s ever constant presence around her daughter is something that the latter can live without.

Aishwarya Rai and Aaradhya Bachchan dance their love away

Aishwarya Rai and Aaradhya Bachchan are the perfect symbol of a loving and adorable mother-daughter bond. Aishwarya often brings her daughter along whether she is attending an award show, traveling or going to a party.

An old video from IIFA 2022 has surfaced online in which the cute mother-daughter Aishwarya Rai and Aaradhya Bachchan are seen dancing with each other. If the video is believed to be 100% authentic, then the song in the background is indeed Qayamat Qayamat from the movie Deewane (2000).

The Devdas actor is looking her usual glam diva in a black anarkali dress while our little doll Aaradhya radiates innocence in a pretty white outfit. If you are blessed with a sharp eye and a keen observation to details, then you cannot miss Genelia D’Souza in there too, standing right behind Aishwarya.

Aishwarya and Aaradhya dancing together is sure adorable, but netizens find it hard to not criticize Aishwarya for being too close to her daughter all the time.

Netizens criticize Aishwarya Rai for being ‘too much’

In the video it is also clear that Aishwarya keeps taking Aaradhya away by her arms every 2 second, preventing her from further dancing. This is something that netizens are finding hard to digest.

One user commented, “I feel like Aish should leave her alone…and enjoy her childhood.”

Another one joined the bandwagon. “Why do I feel like Aish depends on her daughter for her emotional and social needs.”

It doesn’t end here. The disappointment for being too-much-a-mother-to-allow-her-child-to-breathe keeps pouring.

“This is too much, she hovers around this child way, way, way more than is healthy,” commented another user.

Aishwarya Rai got married to Abhishek Bachchan in 2007. Aaradhya Bachchan blessed them with parenthood in 2011.

Aishwarya Rai explains her ‘protective instinct’ for Aaradhya

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Aishwarya explained why she is over protective of her daughter Aaradhya.

“At one point when we were walking, she was in a great mood, even as people clicked pictures. She was laughing and saying something funny. But when Aaradhya saw these people (photographers), she just wanted to stop in her tracks and squatted on the floor. I knew it was time for me to pick her up. it is just a protective instinct. I keep her close.”

Aishwarya is teaching Aaradhya the legacy of the Bachchan family

Aaradhya Bachchan turned 12 this November. She studies in Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai. Along with school studies, she is also being home-–tutored on the legacy of the family she is born in.

On Raj Shamani’s podcast, Abhishek Bachchan said, “We don’t want to put pressure on her. But (she) must be respectful of what her father, her dada ji, her pardada ji have done and achieved, and she must respect that, and never do anything to deplete that.”

Aishwarya Rai was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan: II.
