The gesture, deeply rooted in Indian tradition, garnered widespread admiration from the attendees and sparked conversations across social media about her humility and respect for leadership.
Addressing the Prime Minister directly in her speech, she said:

A "Bal Vikas" Student for Life
Stepping onto the podium with grace, Aishwarya delivered a heartfelt speech that reflected her deep spiritual roots. She reminisced about her early days as a "Bal Vikas" student, sharing how the teachings of Shri Sathya Sai Baba have guided her life.
She highlighted the "Five D's" essential for a meaningful life:
Discipline

Discrimination
"Once a Bal Vikas student, always a Bal Vikas student," she proudly declared, stating that she has always kept these divine messages close to her heart.
The Universal Religion of Love
In a world often divided, Aishwarya’s message focused heavily on unity and harmony. She echoed the timeless principles of Sai Baba, delivering a quote that resonated with everyone present:
"There is only one caste, the caste of humanity. There is only one religion, the religion of love. There is only one language, the language of the heart, and there is only one God, and he is omnipresent."
