Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has finally cleared the growing confusion around her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan’s supposed social media presence.
During a conversation at the Red Sea Film Festival, the actress made it clear that Aaradhya does not have an Instagram account or any other online profile. She stressed that the accounts people are following or sharing are not connected to their family in any way.
Aishwarya explained that even though some of these pages seem harmless and may come from a place of affection, they still do not belong to her daughter. She shared, “The things that are out there, sometimes people believe that’s hers, no it isn’t. There is some well-wisher out there who’s made it, I guess. Obviously it comes from a place of love for Aaradhya, for my family, for my husband, for me, and you know, thank you for all your love, but that isn’t her, she’s not on social media.”
She thanked fans for their constant warmth but urged everyone to be mindful and avoid assuming that every page using Aaradhya’s photos or name is official. She also reminded people to be cautious in the digital world, where identities can easily be misrepresented.
Aishwarya also opened up about her own equation with social media. While she is present online, she keeps her activity limited and mostly shares updates related to work. She pointed out that these platforms have become deeply embedded in everyday life, offering many useful opportunities, especially for artists and companies. At the same time, she acknowledged the other side of this digital space.
Sharing her thoughts, she said, “The thing about social media is that they are a part of life today. It is used as a platform to engage, to kind of share your professional work, for companies that engage with you to want to put the communication out, for colleagues to want to kind of encourage people’s possible career opportunities. Yes, there’s a lot of positives in that. But, there’s a lot. Everybody is on their phone, and everybody gets consumed. So that is our reality, there’s no turning away from it.”
Aishwarya reflected on how easily people get influenced or overwhelmed online. She believes it is important to take breaks and return to what truly matters. She also pointed to global discussions about setting age related guidelines for social media platforms, especially to protect younger users.
