‘I want to see your body’: Aishwarya Rajesh recalls being harassed by photographer who asked her to wear lingerie for photos

The actor added that since she did not know about the film industry worked, she was about to give in, but her instincts told her to stop. “At that age, I didn’t have enough understanding of the industry. Perhaps that is how life goes. I was almost convinced, but not yet,” she said. To get out of the situation, Aishwarya told the photographer that she had to seek her brother’s permission and escaped the situation. “I wonder how many girls he got to do this… I never told my brother,” she shared.

During the same chat, she also spoke about an incident when a director shouted at her. “I remembered this incident when I reported late for work on the sets, and my director shouted at me in front of other junior artists. He was not angry with me but used to always compare me with other actresses. He might have done wrong with me, and then he reprimanded me in front of everyone. Don’t embarrass people in such a way, even if they have made a mistake,” she said.

Meanwhile on the work front, Aishwarya Rajesh was last seen in the Tamil film Theeyavar Kulaigal Nadunga, with Arjun. She also featured in the 2025 hit Sankranthiki Vasthunam. The actor is currently shooting for Oh..! Sukumari, helmed by Bharat Darshan, starring Thiruveer.
