Bollywood's most beautiful actress, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, recently walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival 2025. While her photos created a buzz from Cannes, her sister-in-law Shrima Rai's posts on family, beauty, and fashion went viral.
Shrima is a beauty influencer and digital content creator. She married Aishwarya's brother, Aditya Rai, in 2004. He is a Merchant Navy Engineer and has co-produced Aishwarya Rai's film, Dil ka Rishta. Aditya prefers to keep a low profile and leads a private life, as compared to his wife. Shrima once shared the story of how she met Aditya. 'So here is our story. I was living in India in my early 20s and met Aditya at a dinner party where some family members decided to play matchmaker. We spoke, got to know each other, and after a one-year-long engagement, I decided to settle in Mumbai with him 15 years ago', said the creator.

Shrima Rai gets angry after being compared with Aishwarya Rai
Shrima said in an old interview that she does not agree with the way she is being portrayed as Aishwarya's sister-in-law. She said, 'I am being shown as a 'sly character' and I do not agree with it. Some trolls started making unnecessary comparisons. You cannot compare the journey of one woman with the journey of another woman.' She further said, 'Just because you are a fan of her, it does not mean that you should troll another person.'
