In the backdrop of crumbling marriages in Bollywood, actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan feels that its unfair to limit and judge relationships.
"I don't think it is fair to get judgemental and limit relationships or strengths or inability to hold themselves or limit it to showbiz. What happens in society is each to his own. What would be fair and respectful is belief in people to allow them to live their lives and finding strength in choices they make," the actress said in response to a query on effects of showbiz on marital life.
Recently, Hrithik Roshan and his wife of 13-years Sussanne decided to separate. Also, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and actress wife Kalki Koechlin are taking time off their marriage.
Aishwarya was speaking at the launch of L'Oreal Paris -- Kajal Magique-- here yesterday.
For the actress, her mother and daughter Aaradhya's eyes are beautiful. "Eyes are windows to the soul," she said.
Aishwarya thinks being Indian is being beautiful.
"We are rooted, consider values in the highest esteem, we are simple people. We are very hard working and we know to retain respect, love and commitment, tradition. Being Indian is being beautiful."
On actors opting go under the knife, she said, "For me it is all natural... Thank you parents and God.
