Aishwarya Rajesh About Tollywood & Offers From Telugu Industry

Aishwarya's father, the late Rajesh, was a notable actor who played the main lead roles in several films in Telugu during the 1980s. He is the younger brother of popular comedian Srilakshmi. Since Aishwarya was born and brought up in Chennai, before the Telugu industry shifted to Hyderabad, she was predominantly based out in Chennai and does Tamil films.

Speaking about why she isn't taking up Telugu films more, she said, "I like the Telugu industry and there are also offers from here. But I want to do a good Telugu film like a comeback, which will make my family proud because of my roots. I starred in World Famous Lover opposite Vijay Deverakonda but it didn't work out as expected."
