The REAL REASON why AISHWARYA RAI BACHCHAN could not attend Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri’s intimate get-together!
Here’s why Aishwarya could not attend the party at Shah Rukh Khan's home Mannat.
Post the Vogue Women of the Year 2017 Awards, Karan Johar posted a pic on social media, captioning it as, "We shot our own VOGUE cover!” The image had everybody from KJo himself to Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, Shweta Bachchan Nanda, to Kaajal Anand and Aamir Khan’s wife Kiran Rao. But one person missing from the group photo was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. While some speculated that her face was cropped off from the pic, others said she was too busy to get clicked. Here’s why Aishwarya could not attend the party at Mannat…
Says a celeb invited to the Vogue event, “Post the show, Gauri and Shah Rukh invited everybody over to their after-party at Mannat. While Karan, Kaajal and Shweta agreed to go, Ash declined politely. She is very conscious of her duties as a mother and it was already very late. The next day she had to drop Aaradhya to school in the morning. The actress is very organized and likes to plan her daughter’s day around her. Aishwarya has always been a hands-on mother ever since her baby’s birth and likes to spend as much time as her as possible. On that day, Aaradhya was with her while she was getting ready in the room, fed her dinner and put her to sleep before she stepped down for the event as it started very late.”
The source adds, “Ash is spending lots more time with Aaradhya as she will soon get busy with Fanney Khan from October. So every time she comes to an event, it’s post settling her daughter, who is always with her. Another reason Ash didn’t go to Mannat was because Abhishek wasn't there with her and she usually attends parties with him. While it's not that the actress hasn't gone to parties without him, it's just that she loves spending as much time with him as possible and would rather be at home with him than at a party.”
This year at the Vogue event, Aishwarya had a wonderful time, informs the guest. “Ash was pleasantly surprised to see so many Bollywood celebs trooping down to her table to greet and spend time with her. From Russian model, philanthropist and actress Natalia Vodianova (nicknamed Supernova), to Kriti Sanon, Shah Rukh Khan, Raj Kummar Rao and Padma Laxmi – all came to meet her. Karan Johar even escorted her up the stage when she was called to receive an award. Anushka Sharma and Ash were seated at the same table and both chatted away the whole evening. Yes, it’s true that Aishwarya’s sister-in-law Shweta Bachchan was seated at another table and didn’t come to greet her. But one must understand, the Bachchans are a large family and it’s tough to keep up with every family members plan. Earlier this year when the Vogue Beauty Awards 2017 happened, she had no idea that the Bachchans (Amitabh, Jaya and their grand-daughter Navya Naveli) were coming and she came to know once they shared the show flow with her as Aishwarya were stepping down."
