Aishwarya Rai is making headlines once again after winning the IIFA Best Actress (Tamil) award for her exceptional performance in Ponniyin Selvan. The prestigious awards ceremony, held last weekend in Abu Dhabi, saw the iconic actress receive accolades for her portrayal in this landmark film directed by Mani Ratnam.
Presenting the award to Aishwarya was Nandamuri Balakrishna, and in a display of respect and humility, she touched his feet on stage—a gesture that quickly captured the attention of social media and has gone viral. Fans are praising Aishwarya for her courteous demeanor, which reflects her deep-rooted cultural values.
