Ashutosh Gowariker's period drama film Jodha Akbar was released in 2008. Aishwarya Rai looked very beautiful in this film. During this, she wore a red colored iconic lehenga which was designed by designer Neeta Lulla.
Aishwarya's lehenga will be kept in a museum
Now another achievement has been added to the name of this lehenga. This lehenga has been kept in the Color in Motion exhibition of the Academy Museum. The Academy, famous for the prestigious Oscar awards, recently shared the announcement and thrilled the fans. The Academy has shared this look of Aishwarya Rai on its Instagram page. The actress wore this lehenga at the time of her wedding, which she paired with heavy jewelry.
The academy shared the information on social media
Sharing the video, the Academy wrote, “This lehenga is fit for a queen, designed for the silver screen. Aishwarya Rai's red wedding lehenga from Jodha Akbar (2008) is still a favourite. Its beautiful zardosi embroidery reflects the age-old art and also shows the fine quality of jewellery. When you look closely, you will also see a peacock, which is the national bird of India. It is completely made of diamonds and jewels. Neeta Lulla has not just designed a costume, but it is a symbol of India's heritage.
Fans also started cheering for Ash in the comment section. One user wrote, "Finally prestigious Indian films are being featured on the Academy page." Another wrote - Finally someone paid attention to Aishwarya Rai's movie.

Talking about the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), Missing Ladies directed by Kiran Rao was sent from India for the 97th Academy Awards in the International Feature Film category which could not be shortlisted. This film is no longer in the Oscar race.
However, there is still a ray of hope for India. Guneet Monga's Anuja is still in the race.
