Aishwarya Rai turned out to be not only a scene stealer in the Ponniyin Selvan trailer but also at the trailer launch event which took place on Tuesday. The gorgeous diva, who plays Queen Nandini in the magnum opus, was seen winning hearts courtesy of her sweet gestures towards superstar Rajinikanth and director Mani Ratnam.
In a video, Rajinikanth was seen making his way to the trailer launch with his wife Lata. They were seen greeting the stars of the film, including Chiyaan Vikram, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, and Trisha Krishnan. When Rajinikanth met Aishwarya Rai, she immediately fell on his feet and sought his blessings. They then exchanged a warm hug. The precious moment has now gone viral.

If that wasn’t heart-winning enough, another video also showed Aishwarya exhibiting a childlike excitement over meeting Mani Ratnam at the event. The actress ran up to the Roja director and was seen giving him a warm hug and having a quick chat before the trailer launched.
The way she ran to her Mentor and that wholesome hug to her Guru. Respect 😇
