Vikram then went on to recall the time when he first saw Aishwarya when she was yet to win the coveted Miss World title. “The first time I saw her she hadn’t even gotten the title yet, I was in the crowd. As she got in, the cloth got caught in her leg and she stumbled and I thought she’s gonna fall on her face. She stumbled, she did a couple of missteps, she gathered her poise came back and did the routine whatever she was supposed to do. It struck me this person is going places. I sense that in her, the confidence, the poise, the grace. Anywhere you go, even in Chennai, in south India, even today there will be jewellery stores and saree stores with her picture,” he said.
