Aishwarya Mohanraj Reveals The Story Behind Her Name And It's Not What You Think
Last Updated: Aishwarya Mohanraj shared the story behind her name and it came with a plot twist that fans couldn't get enough of. Behind every name, there lies a story. Sometimes it's inspired by our parents, grandparents or siblings and sometimes it's borrowed from a fictional character or a film star. Comedian Aishwarya Mohanraj shared the story behind her name and it came with a plot twist that fans couldn't get enough of. Given her name, many assume she was named after the graceful Aishwarya Rai. After all, Aishwarya Mohanraj was born in 1994 — the very same year Aishwarya Rai won the Miss World crown. But here comes the first twist. Taking to Instagram, Mohanraj shared a video revealing the real story behind her name. She explained, 'Aishwarya Rai became Miss World in 1994 and I was born in 1994, so obviously people assume that I was named after her. But I was born on July 26, and she became Miss World on November 19, so I was not named after her." So, how did she end up being named Aishwarya? She revealed that too. She shared, 'When my mom was young, she used to attend 'Bal Vikas' classes where they taught about gods, prayers, scriptures, and good values. Every year, they'd put up a value-based play with songs, dances, and drama. When my mom was 14, she took part in one such play. One of the characters was Mother India, played by a nine-year-old girl named Aishwarya." It was the first time her mother had heard the name, and she instantly fell in love with it. The girl's charm and innocence left such a lasting impression that her mother decided that if she ever had a daughter, she would name her Aishwarya. Cut to 14 years later, she gave birth to a daughter and named her Aishwarya. But here comes the second twist. 'Fourteen years after that play, she gave birth to her daughter and named her Aishwarya. Fourteen years after that play, the girl who played Mother India went on to become Miss World—Aishwarya Rai," Mohanraj revealed, leaving everyone stunned. Connecting these beautiful coincidences with humour, she wrapped it up by saying, 'So I guess, I am named after her." The storytelling, filled with charm and surprises left fans delighted, One fan commented, 'Plot I was not ready for," while another fan wrote, 'I'm fully convinced that your life is a movie and we're all side characters including Aishwarya. She's there just for the plot and the plot is great." Yes, this truly feels like the script of a short film and what could be filmier than her caption itself: 'Phir apne mohalle mein Aishwarya aayi."
