Amid Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan divorce rumours, the actress advises women to ‘never compromise your worth’. Watch the video.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan are reportedly going through a rough patch, with rumours of their separation making rounds. However, there has been no official confirmation, and none of their family members have commented on the matter. Amid the ongoing speculation, Aishwarya Rai recently shared a video after a long hiatus, addressing young girls and encouraging them to confront harassment with confidence.
Aishwarya can be seen saying, “Street Harassment. How do you deal with it? Avoid eye contact? No!” Aishwarya says in the video. “Look the problem directly in the eyes, hold your head high. Feminine and feminist. My body, my worth, never compromise your worth. Do not doubt yourself. Stand up for your worth. Don’t blame your dress or your lipstick. Street harassment is never your fault.”
The video had a caption, “On this International Day for the elimination of violence against women, join @lorealparis’s Stand Up against street harassment training program. We’re all worth it. @lorealparis”
A few days ago Abhishek Bachchan addressed the ongoing speculation during the promotions of his film I Want to Talk. Putting the rumours to rest, he expressed his gratitude for Aishwarya, calling himself “lucky” to have her as his wife. He highlighted her sacrifices, stating, “She ensures our daughter is well taken care of so that I can focus on my work.”
Speculation about an impending divorce started when Aishwarya and their daughter Aaradhya arrived separately from the Bachchan family at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding in July. The rumours gained further traction when Abhishek liked an Instagram post about divorce titled “When Love Stops Being Easy.”
