Overview

• Manav Manglani says he organized a team of three photographers at the Mumbai domestic airport after learning Aishwarya Rai would be traveling with her infant daughter.
• He recalls that public curiosity was intense after the Bachchans spent months shielding Aaradhya’s face from cameras.
• The resulting candid became the first clear image of Aaradhya and was rapidly picked up across media platforms.
• Coverage notes that Aishwarya later became more comfortable with managed visibility, and Aaradhya now appears at events and poses confidently.
• Manglani adds that photographers have stopped shooting Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan’s son Taimur at his parents’ request.
