The gorgeous superstar of the entertainment industry, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has delivered some impeccable performances in films like Taal, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, Jodha Akbar, Guzaarish and many others. While the actress has won our hearts with her acting mettle, comedian Russell Peters has different opinion as he once called the former Miss World ‘the biggest example of bad acting’.
In 2011, the comedian was in New-Delhi for the promotions of his Indo-Canadian film Speedy Singhs, which also featured Akshay Kumar in a cameo role. During the event, Russell said, “I hate Bollywood. The movies are all garbage, just terrible. It’s my opinion, obviously, there are billions who like and love them. I don’t like all the singing, dancing and all the dramatic crying. I have never seen a Bollywood film in my life. I have refused to do it earlier and will do so in future. But I hope some filmmakers take a chance of making real movies.” He added, “Aishwarya is the biggest example of bad acting. She has proved it time and time again that in Bollywood, people can become superstars just by having a pretty face.”
He also made derogatory comment on her pregnancy and said, “She hasn’t become a better actor. She is still good looking, isn’t that good enough? Good job, Abhishek, you finally knocked her up." Later, we saw sever women's rights activists and fans bashing the comedian for his remark. While the comedian didn't apologize for his comments, Akshay Kumar apologized to Abhishek Bachchan.
