Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has immense resilience; former Miss World Yukta Mookhey praises her senior's grace

The 1990s saw great success for India at global beauty pageants. We had three Miss Worlds in Diana Hayden, Aishwarya Rai, Yukta Mookhey and Priyanka Chopra. Well, Mookhey who is now an activist and deep into spirituality did an interview with Filmy Mantra. Her comments on Priyanka Chopra have gone viral where she said she had nothing to learn from the Quantico actress. However, Yukta Mookhey was very generous in her praise of Aishwarya Rai and Diana Hayden. She spoke at length about how kind, graceful and helpful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was when Mookhey was preparing for the Miss World competition on the global stage.

Yukta Mookhey said years have passed by but Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has not lost her grace and dignity. She said she has not made a single bad comment about anyone. Yukta Mookhey said anyone else in her place could have reacted harshly. She said this when she was asked about the intense scrutiny on her marriage. Yukta Mookhey also said that some people in the media and netizens seem to have lost all grace and sensitivity. She said people seemed to have forgotten the laurels that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has brought to the country.

The former pageant winner also spoke about the kind of negativity Aaradhya faced. Yukta said comments on her looks were unfortunate. She said she loved how natural and chilled-out Aaradhya seemed in comparison to some other star kids. She praised Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for her upbringing. Yukta Mookhey said it is not necessary that every star kid should follow their parents into showbiz. She said maybe a child has some different talent away from films. Yukta Mookhey said in general she was appalled to see how young women were discussed on social media by men and women alike. She said it is almost traumatizing.
