Kareena Kapoor Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are two of Bollywood’s most iconic and celebrated actresses, each carving out their legacy in the Hindi film industry. Known for their immense talent, glamorous presence, and enduring influence, they represent different eras of Bollywood while commanding immense fan followings.

Although their paths never crossed on-screen, they did face each other at Zee Cine Awards years ago. While one may think there’s no animosity between the actresses, netizens feel Kareena Kapoor Khan was less than kind towards Aishwarya after a video from the awards show went viral.

Aishwarya Rai dazzled in a shimmering blue gown with noodle straps and a body-hugging silhouette, exuding elegance as she left her hair loose with soft flicks framing her face. Gracefully descending the stairs, she addressed the audience with a short speech, reflecting her angelic charm. Aishwarya shared that she couldn’t attend the previous year’s award show, where she had been honoured with two awards.

Taking the moment to express her gratitude, Aishwarya thanked the audience for their unwavering support, acknowledging that their love was the reason behind her achievements. She also extended heartfelt thanks to the event organisers for recognising her work. After her speech, she announced the winner of the Fresh Face of the Year award and invited Kareena Kapoor to the stage.

In the next part of the video, Kareena was seen approaching the stage to accept the award. However, her demeanour caught viewers’ attention as she appeared less than pleased. With noticeable irritation, she took the award from Aishwarya and almost snatched the mic to deliver her speech. Kareena curtly said, “I think I would like to thank Lux and Zee Cine Awards for giving me this honour, thank you,” before walking away.

The resurfaced clip left netizens divided. Some speculated that Kareena’s apparent frustration stemmed from losing the Best Debut award to Ameesha Patel for a film Kareena had initially rejected. Meanwhile, many social media users praised Aishwarya for maintaining her grace and poise despite the situation, calling her the epitome of elegance.

One user said, “Kareena is walking like mummy ji asked her to take in the dried clothes from outside,” while another user wrote, “Every gesture of Aishwarya oozed grace and perfection. Many used to call her pretentious but i think this is really her and of course miss world training helped. That’s why whole country was crazy about her.”

A third user claimed Kareena was angry as she lost best debut award to Ameesha Patel, “She lost the Best Debut award to Ameesha patel.” A fourth user said, “Bebo and no tantrums? That feels like an impossible task.”
