Rai succumbed to his illness and passed
away on March 18, 2017. Many of her
industry friends were by her side to support
her during these trying times which
included Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Twinkle
Khanna and more but there was one
shocking inclusion that surprised us all.
It was none other than Rani Mukerji, as
confirmed by a source close to Aishwarya.
Our source reveals, "Aishwarya was visited
at home by many of her friends which
included Rani Mukerji, Mana Shetty (Suniel
Shetty's wife) and Kokilaben Ambani who
consoled her."
This surely is surprising, given the past
between Aishwarya and Rani because of
Rai's husband Abhishek Bachchan. Abhishek
was reportedly dating Rani Mukerji and they
were apparently going very strong but
ultimately they broke up. There were many
rumoured theories as to why they broke up
but we still don't know the actual reason.
Ultimately, Abhishek ended up marrying his
beloved crush Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and
they now have a daughter Aaradhya
Bachchan. Meanwhile, Rani got hitched in a
secret ceremony to filmmaker Aditya Chopra
and they have a daughter Adira Chopra.
It's nice to know that Rani and Aishwarya
have buried the hatchet and are very cordial
with each other.
Meanwhile, there were also reports of
Aishwarya being miffed with filmmaker
Karan Johar for not attending her dad's
funeral but sources close to the actor
dismissed the rumours and stated, "Karan
shares a great equation with both
Aishwarya and Abhishek. So there is no
question of anyone being upset with each
other. Their bond is beyond all this. All these
reports that Aishwarya is miffed with KJo
are false. Nothing of that sort would have
even crossed anyone's mind."
