Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
is termed as the 'most beautiful woman in the world', most times. Ever since she was crowned Miss World in 1994, Aishwarya has won hearts with her beauty and grace. Of course, post that it was her long list of movies which continue to remain memorable.
However, the actress has always paid attention to inner beauty and spoken about it as opposed to the outer beauty.
In a viral clip from an old interview, Aishwarya was asked that no woman is really happy with her looks, so is she completely happy with the way she looks? The actress smiled wide and responded, "It's such a trick questions because if you say yes, you're presumptuous, you're a narcissist and I'm not a narcissist."
She added, "No, I'm really okay with the way I look. All this is transient. It changes with time and that's about it. That's the external."
As the clip went viral, netizens showered love on Aishwarya's answer and how deep she is. Earlier, in an interview with BBC Asian Network,
Abhishek
had defended Aishwarya and slammed people who just thought of Aishwarya as a pretty face.
He had said, "Now I'm not speaking as a husband but as a co-star and actor. She's done some of the most daring roles, something you'd never expect from someone known for her beauty." He pointed to films like 'Provoked,' 'Chokher Bali,' 'Raincoat,' and 'Guru,' where her roles were complex, character-driven, and not centered on her appearance."
On work front, Aishwarya was last seen in Mani Ratnam's 'Ponniyin Selvan 2'. The actress recently also won the internet with her appearance at Cannes 2025.
