A throwback video of Aishwarya Rai from when she was just 21 has resurfaced on Reddit, captivating users with her enduring charm and eloquence. The clip, featuring the iconic actress in a red saree adorned with gold and pearl jewelry, shows her addressing questions about marriage and motherhood with a radiant smile and graceful demeanor.
In the video, Aishwarya is seen responding to a query about her thoughts on marriage, saying, “Who is asking me (the question)? Yes, at the right time and the right place, and when I meet the right person. That’s why I asked who is asking me the question, show me your finger… marriage eventually is definitely on the cards. I do want to experience marital life, motherhood and I hope to have the joy of it, in time.” Her response, delivered with a light-hearted laugh, reveals a blend of youthful enthusiasm and thoughtful consideration.
Reddit users have been quick to express their admiration for Aishwarya’s beauty and grace in the clip. One user noted, “She was just 21 here!!!” while another humorously contrasted their own youth with Aishwarya’s poised appearance. Many comments praised her sophisticated command of the English language and her overall elegance, with one fan remarking, “Her beauty, her grace, her hold over the English language. She’s so sophisticated, holy s***. On a side note, she sounded a little like her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan when she was laughing.”

The video has also sparked conversations about societal expectations placed on women. Some Redditors expressed concern about the pressure to address questions about marriage at such a young age. One comment read, “How early is too early to ask a woman about her wedding plans and life partner? Decades later, we still ask women the same questions, no matter where she’s at in her life or what age. What a sad society we live in!” This sentiment was echoed by another user, who described it as “sad and ultimate truth.”
Aishwarya Rai, who married Abhishek Bachchan on April 20, 2007, and welcomed their daughter Aaradhya on November 16, 2011, continues to be a prominent figure in the public eye. Despite recent speculation about their marital life, both Aishwarya and Abhishek have chosen to remain silent on the matter.
The resurfaced video not only showcases Aishwarya’s timeless allure but also invites reflection on the evolving nature of societal expectations and personal privacy.
