In the aftermath of the widely publicised Ram Mandir Pran Prathista, the controversy continues to simmer, capturing the nation's attention even a month later. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the orchestrator of this spiritually charged event, remains at the centre of the debate. However, the focus has shifted as opposition leader Rahul Gandhi takes aim at the presence of Bollywood celebrities during the inauguration.
Speaking passionately at the Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra, Rahul Gandhi particularly targeted Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai.
In a subsequent speech, Gandhi reiterated his concerns, questioning the prominence of Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai during the consecration ceremony. He accused the government of favouring affluent individuals.
Though netizens have fact-checked his statement and are calling him out, Aishwarya Rai never attended the mega event.?
One of the X (formerly Twitter) users wrote, "What is @RahulGandhi¡¯s sick obsession with Aishwarya Rai? It is SO creepy!"
Another wrote, "Aishwarya Rai's this scene>>>Rahul gandhi's whole carrier."
One even asked, "Why is Rahul Gandhi obsessed with Aishwarya Rai?"
Gandhi further fueled the controversy by referencing a separate rally where he speculated about Aishwarya and Amitabh Bachchan dancing, alleging that the government is prioritising the interests of the wealthy. The accusations of favouritism add a new layer to the ongoing discourse surrounding the Ram Mandir Pran Prathista.
While the ceremony witnessed the presence of Bollywood stars such as Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, Vicky Kaushal, and Madhuri Dixit, notable figures like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were conspicuously absent.
The selective guest list remains a focal point in the ongoing discussions surrounding the Ram Mandir Pran Prathista, stirring debates on representation and the event's societal implications.
