one of the world's
most beautiful
women since she
won the title of
Miss World in
1994, actor
Aishwarya Rai
Bachchan says
the society needs
to stop perceiving
women, who like
grooming
themselves, as
less intelligent.
Aishwarya
believes that
women need to
stop judging each
other on the basis
of how much makeup they put on. One's
desire to look glamourous shouldn't
become the parameter of judging their
intellect, said the actor, in a group interview
on the sidelines of her Cannes appearance
as the brand ambassador of cosmetic
brand L'Oreal Paris.

"Grooming has been a part of our culture
since the beginning, both for men and
women. Everybody grooms themselves but
to what degree depends up on the
individual. First, we need to free ourselves
of judging each other. Someone did more
then it's his or her choice, and if someone
did less then that's also their choice. I don't
think either side should be judged. We, as
women, need to stop judging each other in
a sense that if you put make-up that doesn't
mean you don't have brains, it doesn't
mean you lack in substance, it does not
mean that you are not sensitive or
compassionate, Aishwarya said.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looks like a
Goddess at Cannes red carpet.
She continued, "At the same time, if you
choose not to use makeup, doesn't mean
you are a disinterested person or a person
lacking in colour or you are brainy just
because you don't put makeup, or you are
too serious and not a fun-loving person.
The day we break away from these pre-
conceived notions, we all will start co-
existing.

A lot of female actors have been subjected
to such sexism within the industry and
outside, wherein if they dress up, on or off
screen, they are not taken seriously.
Aishwarya, however, said she hasn't faced
that prejudice, courtesy her conscious film
choices and the acclaimed directors she has
worked with through her more than two
decade-long film career.
"Since the beginning, through media
interviews, the audience has got to know
about my real personality, my beliefs, my
choices. I didn't get judged on the basis of
my looks. I do believe, however, that I could
have got bracketed or slotted had my
audience not known how I am off screen.
Also, look at the choices I made in my
career. I worked with people like Mani
Ratnam, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Aditya
Chopra... So, that helped too. You think
these people would work with me because
of my looks? I am sure they are intelligent
enough to not risk their films with my face.
They must have seen something in me, she
concluded.
