Abhishek Bachchan defends Aishwarya Rai against criticism

Aishwarya Rai, often called one of the most beautiful women in the world, has faced criticism for her acting skills. Her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, defended her in response to these comments. He emphasized her versatility in film roles, arguing that people should see her talent beyond her looks. Aishwarya won the Miss World title in 1994 and began her acting career soon after. She has received prestigious awards, including the Padma Shri in 2009 and the Order of Arts and Letters from France in 2012. Her recent roles in the Ponniyin Selvan films have also earned her accolades. Despite her achievements, she has been subject to negative remarks regarding her appearance and talent. Abhishek has spoken out against those who label Aishwarya as merely "plastic." He pointed to her impressive filmography, including movies like Provoked and Guru, to showcase her acting abilities. Rumors about trouble in their marriage have arisen after 17 years together. Speculation grew when they were seen at a recent wedding, attending separately. Aishwarya was with their daughter, while Abhishek was with his family. Both have chosen to maintain privacy concerning the state of their relationship.
