Should Aishwariya have filed a police complaint against Salman?

The times were different back then, how would it have impacted everyone.. fans, citizens of India and Bollywood in general.

I don't think she would have ended up like Vivek though.

Aishwarya's father actually did file a police complaint and got a restraining order against Salman. The cops warned Salman not to enter the vicinity of her house. So he landed up on her sets and continued his harassment there.

And before she could do anything about it, she was fired from the film by SRK.

Through all this, Ash realized how powerless she actually is. And on top of that, people she trusted and considered true friends (like SRK and Rani) backstabbed her. It must have been a truly devastating time for her.

The issue with viveks press Conf was not that he took a stand against Salman

It was coz he did so without consulting ash , whose personal life was involved AND he made it about himself and threw a few machismo exhibiting lines in there to come off as the hero

The act and intention were right …execution went horribly wrong

Why are there so many Aishwarya posts? 😕

But there is no such thing as a " restraining order" in India.. from what I know the complaint was that the had misbehaved with them.. they were still dating at the time as per news reports.

Aish filing a case against Salman for harassment and abuse is a different thing altogether or seeking help from Women's commission.

I don't know about the law, but Salman was warned by the police and additional security cover was provided to Aishwarya.

They had already broken up by then (they broke-up in March 2001)

She also made this public. I don't know what else she could do. She did everything in her power.

I think the Time magazine cover was before her Hollywood debut.

I fail to see any impact she actually created .. she is relatively unknown there (HW celebs may ofcourse know her - but she failed to create an impact on the audience there).

She would have created more of a stir had she not lost out in BW movies.

Her being beautiful definitely worked to her advantage inspite of being dropped though (IDK what the situation would have been, had she been average looking).. I remember she was paid a lot for that one Kajra re song

She was filming for her first Hollywood film when the Time magazine cover happened.

She became the most famous and well-known actor from her generation all over the world, that is some impact for someone who people thought would just disappear. Won all these laurels and achievements, and became a name to reckon with. Came back with a bang in Bollywood too.

Creating a bigger impact had she only remained in Bollywood - I dont agree, but it's a subjective opinion, so it's ok.

Had she been average looking, she wouldn't have been in the film industry to begin with. Not unless she was born in some film family.

That post lead to this. I think this is what should be topic of discussion.

What Aish faced was harassment. Though Salman is the main culprit. But can we also blame Aish for not taking a stand? Will you stand up for someone who doesn't take a stand for themselves and chooses to remain quiet.. I. think its a complicated question and situation.

If it were today, this would have landed him in jail. The laws regarding harassment of women are recent. He would have got 3 years in jail. He should have been arrested. 😡

Her career did suffer though..

Vivek Oberoi in that sense did the right thing by calling a press conference but people only laughed at him (rather than playing a victim it should have been how he’s harassing a woman). Salman gets a leeway for everything he does. I hope he gets his karma.

We, as people are equally to blame because no one took it very seriously. There was no social media back then.. though I would not blame myself because I was too small 😆

Back then things were quite different. Ppl thought it's personal matter so vivek should not have opened up. What Kangana said about karan johar in this decade if would have said at that time than she would have suffered same fate as vivek.
