Aishwarya Rai Quit A Film After She Found Out The Producer Hit His GF, Netizens Say, 'As A Victim..'

When one hears the name, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, one thinks of elegance, grace, and raw beauty. Aishwarya has been bewitching hearts for three decades and is indubitably one of the finest actresses Bollywood has seen. However, that is not all; Aishwarya has been extremely vocal about abuse against women and their rights and standing by her beliefs. Aishwarya once even walked away from a film after she found out the producer of the film was a 'woman beater'.

Aishwarya Rai walked away from a film after she found out what producer, Gaurang Doshi did to Flora

It was in October 2018 when Aishwarya Rai proved that she was a girl's girl. She stood up in support of an actress who was outcasted by the entertainment industry after she opened up about her abusive ex-boyfriend. Flora Saini sat for an interview with Bollywood Life in 2018 and recalled how when no one was willing to work with her, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan supported her. The actress revealed that Aish not only showed her support but also walked away from a film that her ex-boyfriend was producing. She shared:

"That time when I spoke, I felt I made a huge mistake. Nobody was giving me work. I’m the only breadwinner of my family, and it has become very difficult. No support! The only person to support me (then) was Aishwarya Rai, and I thank her from the bottom of my heart."

In the same conversation, Flora added that when the world was seemingly against her, Aishwarya supported her. She revealed that getting the support helped restore some hope in her. She was quoted saying:

"She had signed a film with Gaurang, and she walked out of it. In an interview, she said, 'I refuse to work with a woman beater.' When the world was against me, there was one woman who supported me. Who leaves work? When she did that for me, some hope was restored in me. It’s too little a thing for her, probably; she won’t even remember. I love her so much for that."

It was back in October 2018 when Flora took to her Facebook account and shared a detailed post about the abuse and harassment she faced at the hands of Aankhen producer, Gaurang Doshi. Flora was in a relationship with the man. However, things turned aggressive, and Gaurang started abusing the actress. She shared a picture of herself and recalled the time she was beaten up. She was quoted saying:

"That's me...Valentine's Day 2007, I was beaten up by a known producer, 'Gaurang Doshi', who I loved and was dating then...this was the last of the one-year abuse I took... I came out with a fractured jaw and a scarred soul for life...I realised that my talking about it at that time was just against me because he was the powerful one. Nobody wanted to believe some girl who was relatively new in the industry. It was his word against mine, and of course, his word mattered."

Recently, the post made its way to the discussion platform Reddit, and netizens were quick to take to the comment section and share their opinion on the incident. A user wrote, "Now that’s a queen move. Absolute W!" Another user chimed in and penned, "As a victim of DV herself, couldn't expect anything less from Aish... Queen!!" Another user pointed out how the industry was filled with such people and stated, "A daily reminder of how many dickheads there are in the industry!"
