Actor Raveena Tandon<\/a> has criticised the online trolling Aishwarya Rai<\/a> faced a couple of months ago when she walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. Calling it \u201cdeeply unfortunate and incredibly unfair\u201d, Raveena linked it to the \u2018digital culture\u2019.<\/p>\n

In May this year, Aishwarya drew attention for her annual appearance at Cannes<\/a>. After she walked the red carpet in a sculpted blue gown by Amit Aggarwal, the actor unwittingly became the subject of online trolling. In a recent interview, Raveena addressed the trolling Aishwarya faced, saying the constant scrutiny of women’s looks reflects a “toxic trait” in the social media age.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unfortunate and incredibly unfair. This relentless, hyper-fixation on a woman’s ageing process, her weight, or her wardrobe choice is an ongoing toxic trait of our digital culture,\u201d Raveena told PTI.<\/p>\n

The Bollywood star praised Aishwarya, her junior in the industry, calling her a \u2018global icon\u2019. \u201cAishwarya is an absolute global icon who has represented our country with unparalleled dignity and grace on international platforms for decades. To reduce a woman of her stature, achievements, and intelligence down to a bad camera angle or an experimental dress is just miserable behaviour,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Raveena said that the fixation of women’s ageing bodies and faces highlights a double standard as well. \u201cIt reveals a broader, everyday cultural double standard, like we demand our female stars remain permanently frozen in time, looking exactly like they did twenty years ago, while male actors are allowed to age, change, and grow without an ounce of the same brutal scrutiny,\u201d the 53-year-old actor said.<\/p>\n

Besides Raveena, actors Madhuri Dixit Nene and Kangana Ranaut also came out in support of Aishwarya following online criticism surrounding her appearance at the festival.<\/p>\n
