Aishwarya Rai says her self-worth isn't defined by likes or social media buzz: 'As a woman and mother, it's a matter of grave concern...'

In a world where likes and comments often shape how people see themselves, Aishwarya Rai is choosing to look inward. The actor and former Miss World says her self-worth isn’t tied to social media buzz—and as a woman and mother, she believes it’s a message that needs to be heard now more than ever.

Speaking on social media’s influence

A new video from a cosmetic brand’s Lessons of Worth series features Aishwarya sharing her thoughts on self-worth. She spoke about the growing influence of social media on how people see their self-worth. She pointed out how many rely on likes, pictures, and comments for validation, stressing that true worth should not be defined by online approval.

A mother’s concern

The actress also expressed concern as a mother, saying there’s little difference between social media and social pressure. She highlighted how both young people and even impressionable adults can be deeply affected by it, calling it a matter of “grave concern.”

Aishwarya further urged people to stop seeking validation online, stressing that self-worth is innate and should come from within. She emphasized the need to make a conscious choice and look inward for validation, ending the video by reassuring viewers that they are “worth it” and should truly believe it.

Fans call her ‘queen’

Her message appears to have struck a chord with fans, who responded positively to the new video. While one fan wrote, 'I wish half of the world understands what she is saying', another one added, 'So well said and powerful coming from none other than Aishwarya'. Aishwarya’s message appears to have struck a chord with fans, who responded positively to the new video. Some called her a ‘queen’ in the comments section, while others praised her beauty.



On the work front, Aishwarya was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan I and II, and is yet to announce her next project. Last year, she made headlines amid speculation of a split from husband Abhishek Bachchan, but the couple put the rumours to rest by attending a wedding in Mumbai with their daughter Aaradhya. More recently, the family was spotted on vacation by a fan.
