When Aishwarya Rai Schooled A Journalist Pestering Over Nude Scenes

With the two-part historical epic Ponniyin Selvan, actor Aishwarya Rai will make another acting comeback. The first Indian woman to be crowned Miss World turns 49 this Tuesday, November 1 and fans can't help but reminisce her most iconic moments, including the time she schooled a journalist for pestering her over nude scenes.

Aishwarya Rai makes her return to the big screen with Mani Ratnam's epic tale Ponniyin Selvan Part One after a four-year absence (commonly known as PS-1). The appearance of Rai as Queen Nandini, the queen of Pazhuvoor, was disclosed by the movie producer, Lyca Production. The character of Rai embodies beauty and unpredictability, and she is driven by a desire for revenge, as per the makers.

The film will be released in two portions of the film, Ponniyin Selvan which is based on a 1995 novel by Kalki Krishnamurthy. It will chronicle the life of Raja Raja Chola, the Chola emperor (emperor Arulmozhi Varman). Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sarath Kumar, Vikram Prabhu, Sobhita Dhulipala, Jayaram, Prabhu, Parthiban, and Prakash Raj are among the prominent cast members of the movie. This film, which is being made by Lyca Productions and Madras Talkies, will feature the Oscar-winning soundtrack of living icon AR Rehman.

On September 30, 2022, Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 was released in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. Meanwhile, a Reddit user just posted a clip of Rai's conversation with a journalist in an interview. The journalist's queries were causing Rai to lose her cool.

When Aishwarya Rai Got Pissed:

Rai is heard telling the interviewer, "I have never ever explored and lost interest in exploring nudity on sets. I feel I am talking to my gynecologist. I mean, who am I talking to? You are a journalist; stick to that. "

Although the video is short and does not feature the interviewer's question, one Reddit user wrote it in the comments. "He was inquiring as to whether or not she would be portraying nudity. NO, she replied. Lack of interest. You're not a gynaecologist, you're a journalist, so STFU (she didn't say it but meant it)"

One user wrote, "Creep. Why was he interested in whether she was going to do nude scenes or not? If she'd already done such a role it makes sense to ask her about it." While another user wrote. "It's like they pulled the worst interviewer and cameraman off the street, who had no clue what the hell Bollywood was."
