Aishwarya Rai's fans can't keep calm as her popular wedding look from hit 2008 movie Jodha Akbar got featured on The Oscars' official social media accounts. The Academy took to social media and announced that the wedding lehenga worn by Aishwarya while portraying the role of Jodha in the Ashutosh Gowariker directorial will feature in an exhibition for the Academy Museum. While making the announcement, a video clip of the 51-year-old actress from the film wearing the “lehenga fit for a queen” was shared by The Academy.
The Oscars' official page The Academy shared a announcement video featuring Jodha's wedding lehenga from the movie on its Instagram handle. The post read, “A lehenga fit for a queen, designed for the silver screen. In JODHA AKBAR (2008), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s red wedding lehenga is a feast for the eyes: vibrant zardozi embroidery, centuries-old craftsmanship, and a hidden gem—quite literally. Look closely and you’ll spot a peacock, India’s national bird, made entirely of jewels. Neeta Lulla didn’t design a costume; she crafted a legacy. Step into history (and color) at the Academy Museum's COLOR IN MOTION exhibition.”
The video showed scenes of Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya's characters- Akbar and Jodha. It also featured Jodha's lehenga draped on a mannequin. As soon as the announcement was made, fans chimed into the comments section to share their excitement. One of the users wrote, "So academy finally recognised Aishwarya Rai Movie." Another user commented, "Finally indian iconic movies are getting featured on the academy page." Another comment on Instagram read, "It’s the ACADEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! featuring showing JODHAAAAA AKBAAARRRRRRR."
