Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a highly admired and respected figure in Bollywood, consistently representing India on the global stage. Beyond her impressive acting skills, she is celebrated for her balanced and calm nature. She has frequently made India proud internationally. One notable example was her appearance on Oprah Winfrey‘s popular chat show, where she reportedly made a pointed comment about divorce rates in America.
The actress is a prominent Indian figure in the West, having appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s chat show twice. Her first visit was particularly memorable as she effortlessly debunked common misconceptions about Indian culture and also made a subtle remark about divorce rates in America.
In 2005, Aishwarya appeared on Winfrey’s widely popular chat show, where she discussed several topics. These included how kissing is not a common sight in India and shedding light on the concept of arranged marriages in the country.
During the conversation, the actress was asked several questions by the host and during one segment Oprah asked, “You are the representative of the culture. What do they think in general about American women? Do they say they are rude?” The actress was quick to say, “Indian people are very hospitable.” Oprah again asked, “Do they think we talk a lot?” To this, Aishwarya answered maybe. Finally, she was asked, “Do they say we get a lot of divorces?” Well, to this question, Aish was quick to take a dig and said, “Uh… that could be a discussion…”.
