The video, which appears to be a clip from a larger interview or conversation, sees Aishwarya speaking candidly about the importance of self-love and self-respect. “Street harassment, how to deal with it? Avoid eye contact? No. Look the problem directly in the eyes. Hold your head high. Feminine and feminist. My body, my worth. Never compromise your worth. Do not doubt yourself. Stand up for your worth. Don’t blame your dress or your lipstick. Street harassment is never your fault,” she emphasises.

Reacting to the video, fans and followers of Aishwarya poured in their love in the comments section of the video post. One person commented, “The icon of Beauty with Brain ❤️,” another person wrote, “Well said. Proud of you fighting for a cause which has been of grave concern for women and the society.” Yet another person wrote, “Wow Aishwarya you are most inspirational and powerful woman ❤️.”

Aishwarya works only sporadically these days, and was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s two-part Ponniyin Selvan films. In a recent interview with The Hindu, her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, thanked her for being at home to look after their daughter, Aaradhya, while he devotes himself to his career. “In my household, I’m lucky I get to go out and make movies but I know that Aishwarya is at home with Aaradhya and I thank her immensely for that…” he said.
