Alia Bhatt, who made her grand Met Gala debut this year in New York, was mistaken for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan during her red carpet appearance. A video of a paparazzo screaming, "Aishwarya this way" at the Met Gala is circulating on Reddit. Alia Bhatt was calm and continued to pose for the paparazzi. This isn't the first time that an Indian celebrity has been misidentified at an international event. At the 95th Academy Awards this year, Deepika Padukone was misidentified by agencies Getty and AFP and magazine Vogue as Camila Alves in their Oscar coverage.
Here's the viral video:

Season after season, the genius of Karl Lagerfeld shone through in the most innovative and awe-inspiring couture. My look tonight was inspired from this and in particular by supermodel Claudia Schiffer's 1992 Chanel bridal look."
