Summary
- Aishwarya Lekshmi experienced a culture shock while shooting in Erode, Tamil Nadu.
- Villagers inquired about her 'gotra,' a practice unfamiliar to her.
- She found the caste consciousness in daily interactions challenging.
Actress Aishwarya Lekshmi recently detailed a significant culture shock she experienced while filming in Erode, Tamil Nadu. The shooting location, set to evoke 1996, presented a starkly different environment and culture than she was accustomed to.
During interactions, Lekshmi was asked about her 'gotra' by villagers, a personal inquiry she found unfamiliar and unsettling. She expressed a newfound appreciation for the absence of such questions in her home state, Kerala. This focus on caste in everyday life proved challenging for her to comprehend.
Lekshmi emphasized that her observations were specific to her experience and not a broad generalization of the region or its people. She is known for her roles in prominent films and currently stars in the Malayalam film 'Aasha'.
