When one hears the name, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, one thinks of elegance, grace, and raw beauty. Aishwarya has been bewitching hearts for three decades and is indubitably one of the finest actresses Bollywood has seen. However, that is not all; Aishwarya has been extremely vocal about abuse against women and their rights and standing by her beliefs. Aishwarya once even walked away from a film after she found out the producer of the film was a ‘woman beater’.
Aishwarya Rai walked away from a film after she found out what producer, Gaurang Doshi did to Flora
It was in October 2018 when Aishwarya Rai proved that she was a girl’s girl. She stood up in support of an actress who was outcasted by the entertainment industry after she opened up about her abusive ex-boyfriend. Flora Saini sat for an interview with Bollywood Life in 2018 and recalled how when no one was willing to work with her, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan supported her. The actress revealed that Aish not only showed her support but also walked away from a film that her ex-boyfriend was producing. She shared:
“That time when I spoke, I felt I made a huge mistake. Nobody was giving me work. I’m the only breadwinner of my family, and it has become very difficult. No support! The only person to support me (then) was Aishwarya Rai, and I thank her from the bottom of my heart.”
