Opposition Leader's Critique
Speaking passionately at the Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra, Rahul Gandhi particularly targeted Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai.
Bollywood Celebrities Under Scrutiny
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!"
Why is Rahul Gandhi using such words for Aishwarya Rai so many times?

Why no feminist, liberal, truth-to-power journalist is opposing this? Why is her RS MP Sasu maa and larger than life Sasurji not expressing their distaste on this?pic.twitter.com/75FFwRMVjF

Allegations Of Favouritism
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.
Star-Studded Attendance
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.
