Beauty is something that has generally been a curse to women. Those who are not considered beautiful have to face all kinds of biases, but even those who are considered beautiful have to face bias and insults. In fact, you would not believe that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the most beautiful woman, has been subjected to the same bias.
Being beautiful, at times, comes along with a certain set of preconceived notions. In fact, one might have come across pretty girls as dumb lines. Remember the songs that tag beauty with nakhre? Right from Gore rang pe itna gumaan kar to more.
Often beautiful women have been character shamed, slut shamed, and beauty shamed. They are misjudged as proud, have attitude problems, and more. It was once that even Hrithik Roshan misjudged Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her beauty. However, he was honest enough to realize his mistake on a public platform.
In an interview quoted via ETimes, the actor said, “I have to say that I judged her wrong. I felt really foolish at that. Sometimes, beauty just takes over so many of the other talents. She’s someone with a lot more mettle than just what shows on her face.”
While Hrithik thought Aishwarya Rai was just a pretty face, his father, Rakesh Roshan, also felt that the actress looked older than his son. However, when the Guru actress came to know about Daddy Roshan’s thoughts, she was quick to take a dig, saying, “It’s strange that Rakesh Roshan thinks I look older than Hrithik. In fact, he’s approached me for all his home productions.”
