Guess who came to watch Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's Fanney Khan? The answer is Aaradhya, Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan's six-year-old daughter. A special screening of Fanney Khan, also starring Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, was held in Mumbai on Thursday night, a day before its release. Madhuri Dixit, Boney Kapoor, Shabana Azmi, Gulshan Grover and several other celebs came to watch the Atul Manjrekar-directed film. However, little Aaradhya surely made the spotlight follow her. She accompanied her mother in welcoming the guests at the event. She looked cute as a button in a white frock. Aishwarya's mother Vrinda Rai was also there.
