'One Moment Off Guard': The Untold Story Behind Aaradhya’s First Photo

Entertainment News: When Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan welcomed their daughter Aaradhya in 2011, the whole country was eager to get a glimpse of her. But just like Bollywood stars, the Bachchan family also kept their little one away from the media's eyes.

Curiosity of fans and paparazzo

Aaradhya's secrecy created curiosity among both fans and paparazzo. Everyone wanted to know what Aishwarya's daughter looks like. Meanwhile, paparazzo Manav Mangalani, in a recent interview, revealed how he captured the first picture of Aaradhya.

That special moment at the airport

Manav shared on Bigg Boss 19 contestant Kunika Sadanand's YouTube channel that the moment happened at the Mumbai airport. Aishwarya was travelling with her daughter, Aaradhya, and only for a few moments when she lowered her guard did Manav immediately pick up the camera. This was the “Shot of the Day” that created a stir in the media and on the internet.

Manav recalled, “People were eagerly waiting to see Aaradhya. Everyone wanted to know what Aishwarya's daughter looks like. I started getting calls from channels and newspapers… the whole world was waiting for that one glimpse. Aishwarya was at the peak of her career at that time and looked extremely beautiful.”

The preparations behind the picture

Manav said that after the birth of Aaradhya, Aishwarya did not step out of the house for about 6 months to 1 year. When he came to know that Aishwarya was coming to the airport, he made a complete plan. Three paparazzo were deployed at the airport from different angles so that everyone could get a glimpse of Aaradhya. As soon as the picture went viral, it made it to the headlines of every website and newspaper.

Aaradhya's growing confidence today

Paparazzi culture has been accused of interfering with children's privacy, but many people consider it to be people's curiosity towards Aaradhya and the Bachchan family. Today Aaradhya herself has become quite confident and poses in a professional manner in front of the camera along with her mother, Aishwarya Rai. The moment when Aaradhya saw the world for the first time is still fresh in the hearts of fans.
