‘She is always being watched, she always needs to be perfect’: When Chiyaan Vikram shared his admiration for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

As a longtime admirer of Chiyaan Vikram’s artistry and his keen insights into the world of cinema, I must say that his heartfelt tributes to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan during the PS-I pre-release event were truly captivating. The respect and admiration he holds for her, both as an artist and a person, are evident in every word he spoke about her.


As a lifestyle aficionado, I’ve been fortunate to have observed the unique bond between the esteemed actors Chiyaan Vikram and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Our friendship blossomed on the sets of the dual-language films Raavan (Hindi) and Raavanan (Tamil), both masterfully directed by Mani Ratnam in 2010. More recently, we collaborated again in Ponniyin Selvan-I and II during the years 2022 and 2023.

Admiring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s unique elegance, the Thangalaan actor expressed awe at her radiant charm and went so far as to call her the embodiment of flawlessness.

He expressed, “She captivates everyone’s admiration. Aish has long been the embodiment of an ideal we strive for. I’ve consistently enjoyed her films, and it wasn’t solely about her movies or her attractiveness; it was about what she represented. She is constantly scrutinized, always expected to be flawless, and she has managed to achieve this gracefully.

During our chat, Chiyaan Vikram shared some insights about Amitabh Bachchan’s character in the film PS-I, specifically his portrayal of Queen Nandini. The actress truly immersed herself in delivering an outstanding performance as this character.

Chiyaan expressed, “Her dancing is genuinely captivating – a sight of grace in motion every time she performs. I’m fortunate to be among her admirers, and it’s a joy to collaborate with her once more. Yes, Nandini portrays a robust character, but she’s not the villain.

Indeed, Chiyaan Vikram didn’t stop there in sharing insights about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He recalled an instance from her early days when she first graced the Miss World stage. There, she had a small stumble initially but quickly regained her composure and strutted down the runway with unparalleled elegance and grace.

As he neared the end of his disclosures, Chiyaan Vikram discussed not only his friendship with Aishwarya, but also the close relationship he has built with her husband Abhishek Bachchan, and their daughter, Aaradhya.

In addition, Chiyaan noted the widespread fan admiration she encounters throughout Chennai, the heart of South cinema. He expressed, “Wherever you go within Chennai, there are jewelry and saree stores displaying her image, which reflects her allure. Upon collaborating with her, I discovered another aspect – her professionalism. It was fortunate to have been cast alongside her in Raavan for Hindi.
