Kangana Ranaut has slammed Bollywood lyricists for focusing solely on the beauty of youth and ignoring the appeal of women in their forties and fifties. To emphasize her point, she shared a clip of Aishwarya Rai from her film Ponniyin Selvan 1. Kangana, in an Instagram Stories post featuring Nandini (Aishwarya Rai) meeting Kundavai (Trisha Krishnan) in Ponniyin Selvan 1, stated, “The texts of Bollywood have written innumerable verses about the beauty of sixteen, but they have neglected the subtle undercurrent of sensuality, sexuality and seduction in a woman of forty/fifty. Such women are not only beautiful, but also intelligent and experienced – a deadly combination. Two full moons.”
Aishwarya Rai, 49, received widespread acclaim for her appearance in Ponniyin Selvan I and II, with many considering it her most beautiful portrayal. According to a Hindustan Times review of the film, “In PS 2, Aishwarya Rai as Nandini and Vikram as Aditya Karikalan really shine in their respective roles. Aishwarya Rai’s performance is so convincing that it is hard to imagine anyone else in her place. Her portrayal of Aishwarya’s character is incredibly affecting and she brings the film to life with her intense expressions and meaningful silences.”
