In a bizarre claim, Sangeeth Kumar, a 29-year-old from Andhra Pradesh, has claimed that former Miss World and Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai is his mother.

In his address to media persons, Sangeeth on Wednesday said that he was born to Aishwarya in 1988 through IVF method. He also went on to claim that he was raised by Rai's parents Krishna Raj Rai and Brinda Rai before being taken to Choodavaram where he was apparently raised from age 3 to 27.

It must be noted that Aishwarya Rai born on 1 November 1973, bagged the Miss World title in the year 1994 and made her acting debut with director Mani Ratnam's 'Iruvar' in 1997. In the next year, she acted in the Tamil blockbuster 'Jeans' directed by Shankar before moving to Bollywood where she became a dream girl and also received acclaim as a talented actress. In 2007 Aishwarya Rai entered wedlock with Abhishek Bachchan and the couple has a kid named Aaradhya who was born in 2011.

Sangeeth Kumar, however, claims that his "mother" is now separated from her husband and hence he wants her to come and live with him in Mangaluru (Native place of Aishwarya Rai).
