While cleaning an old almirah that once belonged to her grandfather, content creator Divyashi Srivastava came across a wedding card that she identified as the invitation of

Aishwarya Rai and

Abhishek Bachchan. Along with the original, she found a photocopy that her grandfather had apparently made to ensure the document remained preserved.

Divyashi shared the discovery in a video on

Instagram, on her account @The_divy_sparks. She showed the card page by page and explained that she had not expected to find something like it among her grandfather’s belongings.

“This is Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai's wedding card. And I don't know if Bachchan's family has this wedding card or not. Let me show you guys page by page,” she said at the beginning of the video.

Explaining how she found it, she said, “In my almirah, which used to be my grandfather's almirah, I got Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's wedding card. He got a photocopy of that also, so that if something happens to it, he can have a photocopy. And I still have that.”
