However, one of her Cannes looks has been allegedly plagiarised by a Kolkata-based brand. Bobo Calcutta, owned by Jeet Shahi and Ayushman Mitra, retails in clothes. Bengaluru-based artist Nidhi Jacob accused the label of copying her artwork without paying her.
Nidhi's designs have been copied on Bobo Calcutta's jackets the former called the brand out on social media for not paying her or seeking her permission before using them.

Nidhi called out the Bobo Calcutta owners on social media. “People have been sending me images asking if these are my paintings turned to embroidery. I surely didn’t share them with this brand, but the similarity is not a coincidence," Nidhi wrote in her Instagram stories.
Some netizens, who were aware of Nidhi's designs featuring on Aishwarya's Cannes jacket, also lent support to her.
