Here’s why Sonam Kapoor called Aishwarya Rai an ‘Aunty’ & fans are ANGRY
While there are a number of adjectives out there that, if used for women, can be perceived as an insult and not really a compliment, one which truly gets under the skin of every woman is when we’re addressed as an ‘aunty’.
Not only is it presumptuous of one’s age and comes across as an attack, but it also doesn’t sound right at all when used for an actress like Aishwarya Rai no matter how old she gets.
Perhaps that is why when actress Sonam Kapoor used the term for Dhoom 2 actress, fans took major offence and continue to do so years and years later.
A user on Reddit shared an old instance when Khoobsurat actress Sonam Kapoor was offered to replace Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the face of an international beauty brand. While talking about the new opportunity and replacing Aishwarya, Sonam had made quite a controversial remark where she called Aishwarya an ‘aunty from a different generation’.

Truly the gift that keeps on giving,” while another one called her out on her hypocrisy and wrote, “The irony is that she said Ash is aunty coz she worked with her dad, but later Sonam jumps on the opportunity to act with much older Salman. How dumb she’s to not realize that young Ash was acting with Anil uncle, as she did later with Salman uncle.”
One even commented, “I so wished someone back then put her in her place. So annoying she was. I’m glad we get to see very little of her now.”
The actress announced her next project back in 2023 which is going to be an adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s novel Battle of Bittora.
