19 Jul
Summary
- Aishwarya Lekshmi prioritizes audience laughter over box-office success.
- She finds social media exhausting and has chosen happiness without it.
- The actress is excited about challenging roles in Bollywood and Tamil cinema.
Actress Aishwarya Lekshmi is currently navigating a highly demanding period in her career. She finds genuine fulfillment in audience reactions, particularly laughter in theaters, stating this is the true reward for her hard work. Lekshmi admits comedy is a challenging genre she is still learning.
Regarding her film Gatta Kusthi 2nd Round, Lekshmi addressed criticisms about its feminist message, emphasizing that characters, like parents, are complex and evolve. She believes the film's core message of a supportive partner empowering a woman's dreams remains intact, drawing parallels to successful real-life couples.
Lekshmi also discussed her difficulties with dubbing due to perfectionism and time constraints, expressing newfound appreciation for voice artistes. She made the conscious decision to leave social media, finding immense relief and happiness away from the online environment which had previously led to feelings of unsafety and constant judgment.
Looking ahead, Lekshmi is set to portray a police officer in a 1996-set Tamil film, a role that is not a typical 'mass' character. She is also involved in two web series, Theevinai Pottru and #Love, and a Malayalam film. Her Bollywood debut presents a significant challenge, offering a character so well-written that she questions her own merit for the role.
