- Dixit praised Rai for representing India globally for over two decades.
- She criticized judging women by looks rather than achievements.
Madhuri Dixit has strongly condemned the trolling and body-shaming Aishwarya Rai Bachchan faced after her 2026 Cannes Film Festival appearance. Dixit highlighted Rai's significant global representation of India for over two decades.
Speaking about the matter, Dixit stated that judging women by their appearance, rather than their achievements, sends a damaging message to younger generations. She noted that Rai, a former Miss World, has brought pride to the country.
Dixit criticized the reduction of a woman's worth to metrics like weight or age, emphasizing Rai's inner beauty as well. She also reflected on how social media amplifies public criticism.
Fellow actress Triptii Dimri supported this stance, defending both Rai and Ananya Panday against online negativity and urging people to recognize the hard work behind career success. Dimri shared her own experiences with performance anxiety and criticism, differentiating between feedback on work and personal attacks.
Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri are set to appear together in the upcoming Netflix dark comedy, 'Maa Behen,' premiering on June 4.
