Richa Chadha On Aishwarya Rai Getting Trolled

Richa who attended the Cannes with Aishwarya in 2016 for the premiere of their film, was asked about the trolling that Aishwarya endures. Richa Chadha responded in Hindi, and said, "People are jealous of her. What else! With a pumpkin-like face, she's the most beautiful woman in the history of India. I think she is very disciplined and graceful. You'll see she doesn't bitch about anyone, doesn't say anything bad for anyone. I like her."

Speaking further, Richa attributed the lack of controversy in Aishwarya's life to her South Indian mentality. "She belongs to a family with a South Indian mentality. She's the lady who eats curd-rice and papad at home. People may keep trolling her, how does it matter?" She also suggested that the reasons behind the trolling are more reflective of the trolls themselves than the individuals being targeted.
