The stunning diva, who portrays Queen Nandini in the monumental work, was seen capturing hearts with her kind gestures toward Rajinikanth and the film’s director, Mani Ratnam.
In a video, Rajinikanth and his wife Lata can be seen walking to the trailer debut. They were spotted congratulating the movie’s leading actors, Trisha Krishnan, Jayam Ravi, Chiyaan Vikram, and Karthi. Aishwarya Rai quickly touched Rajinikanth’s feet and asked for his blessing when they met. They then gave each other a cozy hug. The priceless moment is currently going viral.
As if that weren’t heartwarming enough, a different video also featured Aishwarya being childlike in her delight over meeting Mani Ratnam at the ceremony. Before the trailer debuted, the actress hurried up to the Roja director and was seen giving him a heartfelt hug and talking with him briefly.
