In a peculiar turn of events in 2018, a man hailing from Andhra Pradesh made the audacious claim of being Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s son. Adireddy Sandeep Kumar asserted that he was born to the former Miss World in 1988 in London through IVF, a staggering six years before her iconic 1994 Miss World victory when she was purportedly 15 years old.
Local authorities in Vizag responded, indicating their readiness to take action against Kumar if Aishwarya Rai were to file a formal complaint against him for tarnishing her reputation by posing as her son. Notably, Chodavaram Circle Inspector M Srinivas of Visakhapatnam revealed unofficial information suggesting that Sandeep had previously claimed to be a disciple of renowned music director AR Rahman.
Subsequent reports disclosed Kumar’s background as the son of an Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) bus conductor. Despite reputed academic prowess, Adireddy Sandeep Kumar was described as struggling with alcohol-related issues.
On a different note, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s most recent appearance was in Mani Ratnam’s sequel, Ponniyin Selvan 2, following the release of Ponniyin Selvan 1 in 2022.
