While,
the
Deepika
Padukone
cleavage
news
controversy
has
not
settled
down
properly
yet,
Times
Of
India
has
hit
upon
another
controversy
and
this
time
the
daily
has
targeted
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan.
The
leading
publication
has
come
up
with
an
article
titled
as
'Hot
babes
with
ugly
legs'
and
included
several
actresses
in
the
list
including
former
Miss
World
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan.
After
having
a
row
with
Deepika
Padukone
for
the
'cleavage
show
news',
Times
Of
India
has
now
triggered
yet
another
controversy
and
now
the
point
of
discussion
is
actresses'
legs.
The
online
portal
of
TOI
published
an
article
titled
as
'Hot
babes
with
ugly
legs'
which
took
a
dig
at
Aishwarya
Rai
saying,
"The
former
Miss
World
has
legs
that
look
better
when
covered".
The
article
also
mentioned
names
of
other
Bollywood
and
Hollywood
actresses
including
Dia
Mirza,
Aditi
Rao
Hydari,
Angelina
Jolie,
Britney
Spears
and
many
others.
While,
the
article
didn't
go
well
with
fans
of
the
actresses,
one
UK
based
media
house-
The
Independent
also
strongly
criticised
the
piece.
While
Times
Of
India
took
a
dig
at
the
legs
of
actresses,
Editor-in-chief
of
British
magazine
Cosmopolitan,
Lousie
Court
did
the
same
with
the
article
and
the
publication.
The
Independent
carried
an
article
written
by
Louise
who
slammed
Times
Of
India
for
the
article
on
Aishwarya
and
other
actresses' legs.
Some
of
the
mention
worthy
excerpts
from
the
article
carried
by
The
Independent
are-
"This
Times
Of
India
article
actually
made
my
jaw
drop-
which
I
should
probably
add,
in
the
spirit
of
things,
could
do
with
more
definition
and
was
cushioned
as
it
hit
the
desk
by
a
bit
of
a
double
chin."
"This
article
is
just
mean
and
pointless.
We
should
be
focusing
on
the
talent
of
the
women
on
that
list-not
what
they
look
like."
"Bodies
come
in
a
delightful
variety
and
the
beauty
of
that
diversity
is
what
we
should
be
celebrating.
We
call
for
an
end
to
body
shape
shaming-
no
matter
who
it
is
directed
at."
"Heavy
scrutiny
of
women's
bodies
of
this
kind
is
exactly
the
kind
of
damaging
rhetoric
that
leads
to
a
process
psychologists
call
'compartmentalisation'."
"All
the
women
mentioned
are
talented
and
have
careers
which
should
not
be
defined
by
how
much
'meat'
they
are
deemed
to
have
on
their
arms
and
legs."
