Navya Nanda’s comments on Alia Bhatt’s Paris Fashion Week walk

Both, Alia Bhatt and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan took part in the Parish Fashion Week on behalf of Lòreal. For those unversed, before Alia, Aishwarya was the official face of the cosmetic brand. After the event concluded, Alia Bhatt shared a bunch of her favourite moments from the show, including pictures with Aishwarya. However, when Navya Nanda simply replied with a star emoji and did not acknowledge her aunt’s presence in the post, so, netizens went berserk.

Not many are aware of the fact that Alia is also Navya’s aunt in blood relation. That’s right, Navya’s father Nikhil Nanda is from the Kapoor family and is Ranbir Kapoor’s first cousin. What seems like a light-hearted interaction between the celebs turned into an online discourse.
