Aishwarya and Aaradhya come for Dubai World Cup

The speculation can be finally put to rest as well placed sources have confirmed to Emirates 24|7 that Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, will be attending a special Longines event on March 31 as part of the Dubai World Cup horse races at Meydan.

However, Longines, the renowned watch brand of which Bachchan has been a long-time brand ambassador was more guarded about the confirmation, saying: “We can confirm that Aishwarya has been invited to the Longines event, but we have yet to get confirmation from her end whether she will be attending.

Longines has been appointed as the official timekeeper for the Dubai World Cup, the world’s richest horse race with a pot of prize money that adds up to $27.25 million.
