Is Aishwarya Rai trying to hide her tummy?

We may seem like reading too much in her body language, but it’s hard to ignore Aishwarya Rai’s efforts to conceal her tummy in her latest public appearance. 

On Tuesday, Aishwarya Rai was honoured at Giant Awards 2013, in Mumbai. As usual, she looked ravishing in a Sabyasachi Mukherjee anarkali which she teamed up with black peeptoes. However, what caught our eye was how the 39-year-old beauty kept on pulling the dupatta over her tummy (was it just to flaunt the drape?). Also how she kept her hands locked in front of her.

Was she just trying to conceal the wee bit chubbiness still left or is it something else? We caution our readers against jumping to conclusions.

But it can be recalled that we saw Aishwarya Rai take the similar hide-the-tummy pose at Prix de Diane Horse Racing event (see photos here) in June 2011 when she was pregnant with Aaradhya but the news was yet not broken to the world.

We are not in the game of making wild guesses or starting rumours. But do check out these images for yourself and see if Aishwarya Rai is indeed trying to hide her tummy
