Aishwarya Rai, who recently appeared in Andhra Pradesh for the 100th-year centennial celebration of Sri Sathya Sai Baba in Puttaparthi, didn\u2019t hold back on speaking about street harassment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At a beauty brand event, someone asked her about it, and she just said it straight. Her message was clear, women shouldn\u2019t be blamed for what they wear or how they look.<\/p>\n
She also gave some simple advice. Don\u2019t hide, don\u2019t look down, don\u2019t try to shrink yourself. \u201cLook directly in the eyes. Hold your head high,\u201d she said. The line that caught everyone\u2019s attention, \u201cDon\u2019t blame your dress or your lipstick.\u201d People reacted online, some thanked her, others just wrote, \u201cFinally, someone said it.\u201d<\/p>\n
While a section of netizens commented that, sadly and unacceptably, a girl\u2019s dressing sense might also have an impact, the majority strongly condemned such views, stating that it is entirely a woman\u2019s own choice how she dresses.<\/p>\n
On the movie side, she\u2019s still riding the wave of Ponniyin Selvan: Part 2. The film did really well, making around \u20b9345 crore worldwide. Even without a new release, she stays visible, in films or just talking honestly like this.<\/p>\n
