I Have Spoken And Will Continue To When It Comes To Speaking For Women: Aishwarya Rai

Bollywood Diva and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai views #MeToo movement gaining momentum as a positive sign and reiterated how important it is to promote discourse on women empowerment should be a continuous process.

“I think it is a good sign how the #MeToo movement is gaining momentum. However, I would refrain to comment on any specific case as that would be irresponsible on our part. At least some of these cases would become subjudice soon. So, I don’t think it would be proper to talk about any particular incident,” Aishwarya told the media on Tuesday.

The veteran actress was present along with designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee at the launch ceremony of the new makeup line festival collection named “L’Oreal Paris x Sabyasachi” for the special media interaction.

While talking to media she referred to the cosmetic brand and said: “We started the ‘We Worth It‘ award and I became the poster girl of that. I came on board because we are speaking for women, giving them a platform for appreciation of their efforts by a wider audience.”

The Guru famed actor further said, “I have spoken and will continue to when it comes to speaking for women, ever since I have got the microphone in my hand, right from the platform of Miss World (pageant).”

“Since the world is becoming a smaller space where social media is bringing people closer and anyone from any part of the world can share their story and find interested people to listen to them,” Aishwarya concluded.
