Aaradhya Bachchan, daughter of Aishwarya Rai, is receiving praise online for her humble gesture towards South actor Shiva Rajkumar at the SIIMA 2024 event.
Both Aishwarya Rai and Aaradhya attended the awards ceremony in Dubai, where Aishwarya won the Best Actress in a Leading Role (Critics) for her 2023 film Ponniyin Selvan: II. After accepting the award, Aishwarya, along with her co-star Vikram, walked hand in hand. As they descended the stairs, Aaradhya embraced her mother warmly. During this moment, Shiva Rajkumar, who was passing by, stopped to interact with Vikram.
Aishwarya then approached Rajkumar, greeted him, and introduced Aaradhya.
In response, Aaradhya greeted him by folding her hands and respectfully touching his feet.

Fans continued to express their admiration, with one stating, “This is so pure and respectful. It’s heartening to see Aaradhya so grounded and Aishwarya teaching her traditional values.” Another wrote, “She raised her daughter very well. Aaradhya is her biggest cheerleader.
