Aishwarya Rai made a stunning appearance at the 2024 IIFA Utsavam Awards in Abu Dhabi, where she won the Best Actress Award for her role in Ponniyin Selvan II. The actor was seen arriving back at Mumbai airport with her daughter, Aaradhya, after the event.
In a video captured by paparazzi, Aishwarya held Aaradhya's hand, both smiling and enjoying their time together. Aishwarya wore a chic black kaftan-like tunic paired with leggings and sneakers, while Aaradhya sported a trendy sweatshirt and sweatpants.
During the awards ceremony, Aishwarya expressed her thoughts on motherhood when asked about Aaradhya accompanying her to various events. She highlighted the uniqueness of each parenting journey, saying, "There is no notebook or rulebook we're all born with. So you do you, and you are incredible with your daughter. Blessings and love."
Director Mani Ratnam also received the Best Director Award for Ponniyin Selvan II, and the event, hosted by Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal, and Karan Johar, continues to celebrate the best in South Indian cinema before turning its focus to Bollywood.
