She is so attractive that people don't appreciate her talent

[maaniekgupta]

Aishwarya will always be truly one of a kind.
Brains, beauty, fame,
she has everything.

[earthshuman]

I don't about her personal life but it really scares me
If such powerful female can have such harrasment because of her in laws imagine what happens with normal females

[liamano]

First you said she’s from a Telugu speaking family and then you say she has Tamil roots… She’s neither from a Telugu nor Tamil family as you mention wrongly in your video. She’s from a Tulu speaking family. You should fact check before publishing a video.

15:36 Please correct here, Aishwarya rai never got hum dil chuke sanam movie because of Salman Khan recommendation. First watch old Sanjay Leela Bhansali interview in which he said that how he chose Aishwarya rai, He first met Aishwarya rai at the premiere of Raja hindustani movie at that time. Where he saw her and met her at the very first time. He had mentioned in one of his old interviews that how Aishwarya rai's first meeting at that premiere, her blue eyes, her beauty, her presence impressed him that he decided to choose Aishwarya rai for Nandani role for Hum dil de chuke sanam film. Because at that time Sanjay Leela Bhansali was looking for a girl who can play the role of Nandani. And in that premiere Sanjay Leela Bhansali found Aishwarya rai. And one more thing, after her meeting Sanjay Leela Bhansali had said this in his mind that "yehi toh meri Nandani hai"(this is also mentioned in one of the old interviews of Sanjay Leela Bhansali). And that's how she got this Nandani role on her own only and not because of anyone else. This information is mentioned in old interviews of Sanjay Leela Bhansali about his hum dil de chuke sanam movie where he talked about how he chose Aishwarya rai for the role of Nandani. Or you can Google also that how she got this role in the movie.

It's a shame people fat ahammed her or called her home wrecker but yet she is maintaining her grace & silence and keeping a private matter Private unlike other celebrities

I have visited the Tulip Gardens in Amsterdam, and I have seen a flower stretch dedicated to Aishwarya.

[sanchitkhandelwal]

Imagine Aish herself watching this video on a evening when she is not feeling good

Just want to say that You are the strongest, The epitome❤

She rejected Troy (2004) Hollywood movie.

1. Aishwarya has shown aukaat to all shitty international reporters who crossed lines with her or with India 🇮🇳.
2. Abusers like Salman walked away but Aishwarya suffered. His fans have long ago blindfolded all his misdeeds.
3. Bachchan family prioritises that their bahu should not overshadow their surname’s brand.
4. Cockroach actresses like Sonam seem to be jealous and want to side away aishwarya’s rank by giving perspectives that she is old, aunty etc

Despite all of this to poor Aish, she remains the OG Queen 👑 of bollywood who has carried herself with ultimate grace and shown that she is the Empress of Bollywood. 👸❤

[atheist]

She is born in a Tulu speaking Bunt family, and are Kshatriyas, not Brahmin.

[Mysterypot]

How can u mess up with her roots?!😂
Its not Tamil Or Telugu, its Tulu!
May be this is why south Indians hesitate to come along with North Indians because you guys feel the entire south India is one state & Tamil/Telugu is our common language..

[theacutebaby]

Aishwarya not only an actress but she is model..or miss world tooo..or global icon for india..as an indian girl..

[AbhinavSINHA-tb]

we in our family or anyone for that matter never addressed her as Bachchan she was and forever will be Aishwarya Rai, she is a brand of her own and doesn't need any support

[johnbright]

She's actually very inspirational. A women who who walks with grace and dignity. Much power to her.

[Laxmi-qb]

Aishwarya s this achievement Bachchans cand digest😢😢😢😢

[globalcitizenn]

Her family was not “orthodox” or “conservative”.. they were quite progressive and liberal.. she was from modern Karnataka not traditional Tamil Nadu or backward Rajasthan

[GAPS-im]
