Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Slammed For 'Using Photoshop': Why It's Uncalled For

In a recent Instagram post, Aishwarya Rai shared pictures of herself following her attendance at a L'Oreal event in Mumbai. She was seen wearing a black outfit adorned with white embroidery for the occasion. However, some Instagram users raised concerns that the photos had been edited. 

One individual commented that the pictures appeared to be heavily airbrushed, noting changes in her figure and face. The user also expressed the desire for people to embrace natural ageing gracefully, saying, “This is definitely airbrushed on multiple levels. This isn’t her figure or her face anymore. Why don’t people embrace gaining weight positively with age?” 

Another comment questioned the extent of Photoshop editing applied to the images. Yet another Instagram user wished that the actor would refrain from altering her photos, emphasising the importance of embracing one's changing body with age. A different person mentioned that while they wanted to compliment her beauty, they couldn't help but notice the evident use of Photoshop in the picture.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Trolled: Why Is It Uncalled For

This is not the first case of trolling for the actor. Earlier, Bachchan faced severe online harassment during her appearance on the Paris Fashion Week runway, where she was subjected to cruel and derogatory comments. Internet users resorted to name-calling, including terms like 'Aunty' and 'Fatso,' while also speculating about the use of Botox injections to minimise facial wrinkles.

The actor, who was last seen in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan 2, is considered a true icon in the Indian entertainment industry due to her enduring two-decade-long career marked by versatile acting across genres, successful forays into international cinema, global recognition for her beauty and elegance, a plethora of awards, philanthropic efforts, and cultural impact on fashion and style.

Participating in a beauty pageant and winning at the age of 21, and still turning heads at international ramp walks at the age of 48, she’s truly a diva, and what sets her apart is her ability to gracefully overcome personal and professional challenges, making her an iconic and respected figure in Indian cinema and beyond.

It's disheartening that some individuals don't recognise that she is a human being, and like any woman, her body too has gone through natural changes over time. These changes are both humane and completely natural. What truly appears unnatural is the failure to acknowledge and disapprove of her solely focusing on her physical appearance.
