In one image, she is seen smiling with her hands clasped in a gentle applause gesture. The gold and vibrant hues of the décor around her enhance the charm of her subtle attire.

At the celebration, Aishwarya also took the stage to deliver an emotional message, expressing her heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Aishwarya said, “On this historic and sacred occasion of the centenary celebration of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, my heart is filled with deep devotion and gratitude. Though a century may have passed since his divine birth, his presence, principles, teachings, guidance, and compassion continue to reverberate in the hearts of millions worldwide. I extend a heartfelt thank you to our honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji for being here with us today and for honouring this special occasion. I am looking forward to listening to your wise words, impactful and inspiring as always, to enthral us today.”
“Your presence here adds sanctity and inspiration to this centenary celebration and reminds us of Swami’s message that true leadership is service, and service to man is service to God… Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba often spoke about the five Ds. Five essential qualities are needed for a meaningful, purposeful and spiritually anchored life-Discipline: it is the mark of a true human being. Dedication: whatever you do, do it as an offering to God. Devotion: true devotion is the flow of love towards God. Determination: once you have chosen the right path, never look back. Discrimination: the ability to choose between right and wrong, truth and untruth, the very hard heart of human life,” she added.
