her Padma Shri civilian honour from President Pratibha Patil. The tall
and lissome and clad in an embroidered pink sari, she was quite
naturally the center of attraction of all eyes as she regally swept
into the ornate Durbar Hall for the ceremony.
It was only a little later that the audience realised that Aish was
accompanied by her equally tall father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan and
Amar Singh, who is the general secretary of the Samajwadi Party and a
very visible face on TV these days in the run up to the general
elections.
As the TV cameras rolled and the still photographers clicked away
furiously, Aishwarya quite visibly savoured the moment even as Singh
seemed lost.
As she entered, Aishwarya was quickly surrounded by eager autograph
seekers forward everything from invitation cards to writing pads to
pieces of paper for her to sign.
A smaller group surrounded Bachchan and as for Amar Singh called it a
day and slunk into the background, his expression seeming to say:
"What am I doing here?" And, when Aishwarya trooped out as grandly as
she had swept in, Amar Singh quietly followed her and Bachchan. It was
all Aishwarya effect of being overshadowed.
