Social internet is ablaze with rare old pictures of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and people are pointing out how much her daughter Aaradhya looks like mom. The images provide a window into Aishwarya’s adolescence and early modeling days, long before her Bollywood debut, and were recently posted on Reddit by the Classic Desi Celebs community.

Some of the actor’s most notable early photos are included in the seven-photo collection. In one, a young Aishwarya wearing a headband and bangs is probably around the ages of ten or twelve. Another shows her sitting on a chair with a similar haircut while wearing a pink and white skirt.

The striking resemblance between Aishwarya and Aaradhya was too obvious for fans to ignore. “Aaradhya is really her mini-me,” one person said. She practically grew into her looks, according to another. Additionally, style is very important. The vibe of the third picture is so much better than the first two. Another person said, “I just realized her daughter has her features.” The second-to-last image is quite informative.

Although the mother-daughter pair has often received recognition for their close relationship and similar public personas, these vintage images highlight how strikingly similar they are, even after decades apart.

Aaradhya usually goes on special vacations with her mother and even goes to red carpet events like the Cannes Film Festival and Paris’s Lakme Fashion Week. In fact, Aishwarya mentioned bringing her baby with her everywhere in a previous interview with Firstpost.

“She is a part of my multitasking life because I take her with me everywhere,” Aishwarya said. I make it as normal and authentic as I can for her. She is now attending school just like any other girl. However, I would take her to the playground to interact with other kids even when she was a toddler. In Mumbai, it becomes challenging. However, I take her to the park while I’m on the road. There are those that recognize us even there. However, they are typical parents and kids. Aaradhya must have a typical life. She is now a part of my life after I told her about it. Thus, she feels at ease in it.

On April 20, 2007, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan were married in a private ceremony in Mumbai. On November 16, 2011, their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan was born.
