Aditya Madiraju, a digital content creator and makeup artist, made his debut as a model at L’Oreal Le Défilé 2025. While nervously getting ready for the big day, Aditya was surprised to see Aishwarya there. He decided to interact with her before they took to the stage. In a warm interaction with her, Aditya shared his marriage story with Aishwarya. Here’s what he told her.

“My husband and I are married because of you. On our first date, we spoke about you (Aishwarya Rai) for two hours,” Aditya said. This left Aishwarya Rai in shock and awe. Aditya also shared what his husband, Amit, told him after they got married: “I married you because you liked Aishwarya.” The confession shook Aishwarya, and she asked Aditya for more details. Aditya also told Aishwarya about his daughter, Yana, and showed her photo to the actor. Aishwarya blessed his daughter and asked him her age. Aditya told her that she’s two and a half years old, and that ‘Yana’ means ‘God is gracious’ in Hebrew.

The actress you are, the dancer you are, the woman you are,” Aditya Madiraju said. Aishwarya, completely moved by his words, said, “Big love to you and your husband. God bless you, Yana.” She also gifted Aditya her lipstick, saying, “You do magic with makeup? So here… Add this to your treasure chest.” In the end, Aishwarya blessed Aditya and asked him to enjoy the show and give a rocking performance.
