Bollywood actresses and their feuds have always fascinated fans. From the Zeenat Aman-Mumtaz and Raveena Tandon-Karisma Kapoor feuds to the Kareena Kapoor Khan-Bipasha Basu rivalry, such gossip has always been a topic of discussion among Bollywood fans. However, amidst all these high-profile feuds, a strong and affectionate relationship developed between Sridevi and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

General Did you know that Sridevi had previously gifted Aishwarya a priceless polki necklace?

Sridevi initially owned a beautiful Sabyasachi neckpiece, which she wore with a Manish Malhotra black and blue saree at Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s wedding reception in Mumbai. She later gifted the beautiful jewel to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who had started her career with a Mani Ratnam film.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan later wore the same beautiful saree at the wedding of Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta after Sridevi’s death. She was accompanied by her actor husband Abhishek Bachchan and daughter Aaradhya. The “Panchva” actress looked stunning as always in a red traditional silk saree with gold work. Many believed she was simply showing off the beautiful saree, but a few years later, renowned fashion designer Manish Malhotra revealed the real reason.
