Aishwarya Rai's "Queen" Moment As Jodhaa Akbar Lehenga Is Displayed At Academy Museum

Amid separation rumours with Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai adds one more featherinher cap. Her iconic lehenga from Ashutosh Gowariker's 2008 epic Jodhaa Akbar has found a new home. And it is the prestigious Academy Musuem. 

On Tuesday, The Academy announced that the wedding lehenga Aishwarya wore in the movie when Jodha was getting married to Abkar, will be part of an exhibition for the Academy Museum in an Instagram post. 

"A lehenga fit for a queen," they wrote, sharing a montage of the movie. 

"Designed for the silver screen. In JODHA AKBAR (2008), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's red wedding lehenga is a feast for the eyes: vibrant zardozi embroidery, centuries-old craftsmanship, and a hidden gem-quite literally. Look closely and you'll spot a peacock, India's national bird, made entirely of jewels," the post continued. 

The Academy also credited fashion designer Neeta Lulla, who worked tirelessly to craft the oeuvre d'art. 

Appreciating her work, the post further read, "Neeta Lulla didn't design a costume; she crafted a legacy. Step into history (and color) at the Academy Museum's COLOR IN MOTION exhibition."

Fans were overjoyed to see such global recognition for the star and filled the comments section with love and congratulatory messages. 

One internet user wrote, "Having being born in the west, Aishwarya Rai Bachan always made me feel proud of my South Heritage, and for that I'll be forever grateful!" while another wrote, "Glad to see the Academy recognise and appreciate excellence. Really happy to see this being featured at the Academy museum," and another wrote, "Amazing artistry of India's craftsmen and women who are highly talented! The designs of the jewellery, textiles are breathtaking and there is no comparison around the world! So exhilarating."

Being the first Indian outfit to get featured in The Academy Museum is a huge feat. 

In an interview with The Print, Neeta Lulla, reacting to the announcement, said, "Digital platforms deserve credit for bringing renewed attention to the work done before the digital era."

"Indian craftsmanship has long been appreciated. International designers have always sourced embroideries and silk fabrics from India. The lack of recognition earlier wasn't due to the quality but the absence of social media to amplify it. Now, it's heartening to see even Gen Z proudly celebrating Indian craftsmanship," she further added. 

Jodhaa Akbar featured Hrithik Roshan as Emperor Akbar and Aishwarya Rai as Queen Jodha. The film earned a lot of acclaim not only for its gorgeous costumes and compelling performances, but also for A. R. Rahman's soulful music.

Ray-Ban Meta Glasses May Get Small Screens to Display Notifications in 2025: Report

Ray-Ban Meta Glasses could soon benefit from a huge upgrade with the addition of small screens, according to a report. The next iteration of the wearable device is said to be launched as soon as next year, and screens may be leveraged to display notifications and perform other functions. Notably, this development builds upon Meta Platforms' ambition to develop lightweight wearable headsets that could potentially replace smartphones as primary computing devices.

Ray-Ban Meta Glasses With Displays

According to a Financial Times report, the next iteration of Ray-Ban Meta Glasses (review) may be equipped with small screens that could be used to display notifications as well as responses to queries received from Meta AI — the company's artificial intelligence (AI)-powered virtual assistant.

The $299 (roughly Rs. 25,000) smart glasses, which have been developed in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, come equipped with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, open-ear speakers, and microphones which enable users to capture snapshots, listen to music, and have conversations — all on the go. The report suggests that while the first version of the displays on the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses would only show simple text and images, it would be a step towards realising CEO Mark Zuckerberg's vision of augmented reality (AR) glasses that “transpose a virtual world” upon real life.

This purported device could be launched as early as the second half of 2025, the publication adds.

Meanwhile, Meta Platforms is reported to continue developing Orion, its AR glasses that are equipped with holographic displays and feature support for Meta AI. The company unveiled its prototype at the Meta Connect 2024 event in September after nearly a decade of development. While this iteration wasn't made available commercially, the company is planning to introduce a version for customers within the next few years.

As per FT, the social media giant's ambitions have been bolstered due to the positive response towards its AR glasses and has reportedly fast-tracked its development to turn it into a consumer product. However, it faces several challenges, including developing a product that has adequate performance and decent battery life while being priced at a desirable price point. There are supply chain-related challenges too, as per the report.
