Fans were quick to notice the uncanny resemblance between the mother-daughter duo. Drawing parallels between Aaradhya and Aishwarya, a fan wrote, “Aaradhya is really her mini me.” “Now I know where Aaradhya’s hairstyle inspo comes from,” a person commented, pointing out the 14-year-old’s bangs haircut. A comment read, “She literally grew into her features. Also, styling matters so much. The 3rd pic is such a step up in terms of aura from the previous two.” Another user mentioned, “I suddenly realised her daughter has her features. The second last pic is quite telling.”
