Alia Bhatt and Aishwarya Rai made headlines earlier this week after walking the ramp at the star-studded Paris Fashion Week for cosmetics giant L’Oreal. The event saw them rubbing shoulders with international stars, including Kendall Jenner. Soon after, Alia shared several photos from the show on Instagram. However, eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed something: Aishwarya Rai was missing from the group photo.
Alia Shares Photos from the Event
On Tuesday night, Alia posted a series of photos from the L’Oreal Paris Runway on her Instagram. The post included solo shots of herself, as well as long shots featuring her alongside international stars. However, fans were quick to point out that Aishwarya, who also walked the ramp, was conspicuously absent from the group photo. Some followers even noticed the edge of Aishwarya’s gown in one of the pictures. This had them guessing that Alia must have cropped the photos.

Fans React to the Omission
As the photos gained attention, Aishwarya’s fans accused Alia of deliberately cropping her out. “This shows jealousy,” one fan commented on Reddit. Another Twitter user added, “She doesn’t want to share the spotlight.” These accusations quickly sparked a debate, with some fans criticizing Alia for overshadowing Aishwarya’s presence at the event.
Reddit Sets the Record Straight
The controversy took another turn on Wednesday when Reddit users began investigating the situation. Several users shared the original photos Alia had posted, pointing out an important detail: the images were sourced from Getty, the global photo agency. The cropping, it turns out, was done by the agency itself, not by Alia. One Reddit post read, “Getty images posted these photos. Alia didn’t crop anyone. Other L’Oreal ambassadors posted the same pic as Alia did, so are they jealous of Aishwarya too?”
Defending Alia Bhatt
This revelation calmed some of the heated accusations against Alia. Fans who had jumped to conclusions now reconsidered their stance. The narrative shifted, with many defending Alia and emphasizing that she had no control over how the photos were edited by the agency. “This whole thing has been blown out of proportion,” one fan commented on Instagram. Another added, “It’s just a misunderstanding. Alia would never do that on purpose.”
Aishwarya’s Stunning Paris Fashion Week Appearance
Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai continued to be the talk of the town. At the Paris Fashion Week event, she dazzled in a stunning red gown, drawing admiration from fans and fashion critics alike. Social media platforms were flooded with praises for her elegant appearance, with many hailing her as the “Queen” of the night. Her absence from the group photo, however, did little to overshadow her impact on the event.
In the end, the controversy over Alia Bhatt allegedly cropping Aishwarya Rai out of the Paris Fashion Week photos seems to have been a misunderstanding. With evidence pointing to Getty Images as the source of the cropping, it’s clear that Alia had no malicious intent. The incident serves as a reminder of how quickly social media users can jump to conclusions, sometimes without knowing the full story.
Despite the brief controversy, both Alia Bhatt and Aishwarya Rai continue to shine, proving their global influence and star power at one of the biggest fashion events of the year.
