In one of the unseen videos that is making waves on the internet, Alia Bhatt has been mistaken as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan by a New York paparazzi at MET Gala 2023. This was Alia's debut appearance at one of the biggest fashion events in the world. Going by the video, she handled it quite well on the red carpet
The video features Alia in her dreamy ball gown designed by Prabal Gurung. The dress has ivory silk tulle and satin face organza exaggerated basque waist ball gown with hand-beaded pearls. She entered the event with the designer when some of the paparazzi addressed her as Aishwarya, as heard in the video.
However, Alia paused for the cameras and smiled before Prabal helped her with the dress and she walked off. Reacting to the video, a user wrote in the comments, “They are taking revenge for jhandeya and tommy.” “Ngl if I was mistaken for Aishwarya, I’d be crying of joy. But if I were Aishwarya, I’d be offended,” added another one. Someone also commented, “Paps are same everywhere.”
The incident reminded a section of people about the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre gala where Indian paparazzi shouted incorrect names at the Hollywood stars. Videos of the same had gone viral. While some called Tom Holland 'Makdi Man', 'Kya Spiderman banega re tu (how will you become Spiderman)’, others addressed Zendaya as 'Jhandeyaaa' and then said ‘Jijaji sharma gaye (brother-in-law is shy)’ to Priyanka Chopra’s husband Nick Jonas.
