Aishwarya Rai was in for a rude shock this afternoon as she walked out of the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (T2), a few minutes ago.
The actress stepped out of the terminal with her daughter Aaradhya and mother Brinda Rai. As is the case with airport spotting, Ash was instantly surrounded by videographers and photogs. Cameras clicked away and questions were thrown around as Ash tried to make her way towards her car.
Things got worse when one particular videographer, in his zest to get up-close pics of Ash, got too close to the trio.
Noticing that the videographer was not even a foot away from Ash, the actress’ bodyguard swung into action. He tried to ward him off.
As a result of this, the videographer lost his balance and fell on Ash’s mother.
Lost and confused in the mayhem, Ash’s mother too could not balance herself and fell down – flat on her face! Blood started streaming down her mother’s face as she suffered a cut on her head.
Ash, who was trying to protect her daughter in the frenzy, was shocked at the incident. The actress and her bodyguard helped her mother to get back on her feet.
By this time, the drama had intensified as more and more people had thronged the place to catch a quick glimpse of Aishwarya. After much drama, the actress somehow managed to get into the car with her injured mother and daughter in tow.
It is yet another episode of the media getting a tad too aggressive with the stars. In May this year, Salim Khan too had lost his balance when the media surrounded him outside Otters Club in Bandra. His son Sohail Khan had lost his cool with the photographers then (Salim Khan lost his balance outside Otters Club when cameras were thrust at his face, May 20).
