Who Is Shrima Rai? Content Creator Addresses Trolls Over Aishwarya Rai’s Connection
On November 28, Shrima addressed allegations and clarified misconceptions about her career through a candid social media post. Trolled for leveraging her connection to her sister-in-law to gain popularity, Shrima strongly refuted such claims and emphasised her independent journey.
Addressing trolls, Shrima firmly stated that she has never attempted to start any business using someone else’s name. She emphasised that her career as a content creator has been built entirely on her own efforts over the years. She even expressed her disappointment in those who try to diminish her work, especially as a woman and stressed the importance of ensuring facts are clear when her name is involved. She added that her husband, mother-in-law, and parents could vouch for her dedication and integrity.
Shrima and Aditya reportedly got married in 2004, and the couple has two sons, Shivansh and Vihaan. They reside in Mumbai with Aishwarya’s mother, Vrinda Rai. Here’s everything we know about Shrima Rai.
How Shrima Met Aditya Rai
Born in Mangalore and raised in Philadelphia, USA, Shrima settled in Mumbai after marrying Aditya in a grand traditional ceremony. Speaking about how they met, Shrima had shared in a throwback interview with Pinkvilla, “Aditya and I met through mutual relatives of relatives. We met at a party and couldn’t stop talking for hours. We took a few months to get to know each other, a year-long engagement, and then the grand traditional marriage. He’s definitely the one for me and has supported me throughout.”
Shrima often talks about the Rai family’s grounded nature, despite public assumptions about their fame. “People assume it to be this very glamorous, filmy type of atmosphere, but it’s the very opposite. It’s your typical normal household with the usual comedy, drama, and romance,” she said, describing her in-laws as simple and warm. About her mother-in-law, Vrinda Rai, Shrima added, “She’s a very reserved but strong woman.”
