Actor Aishwarya Rai has spoken up about street harassment and how to tackle it. Taking to Instagram, she posted a video as part of L'Oréal Paris' new campaign. She is the brand ambassador of the beauty product. In the video, Aishwarya said, "Street harassment. How do you deal with it? Avoid eye contact? No. 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."
She captioned the post, "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." She also added the hashtag--We Stand Up.
Aishwarya was last seen in 'Ponniyin Selvan 2', directed by Mani Ratnam. It is the sequel to the 2022 film of the same name. She won the Best Actress in a Leading Role (Critics) award at the South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA) 2024 in Dubai which took place in September this year.
