In a recent interview, Aishwarya opened up about her initial struggles after moving to Mumbai. She stayed with her aunt for a while and went through a tough time trying to get work in the acting world. Despite giving many auditions, she only managed to get small roles initially.
She recounted a disturbing incident, saying, “A producer once called me to Lokhandwala Back Road. When I arrived and sat in his car, he initially made small talk. Then he moved closer and started running his hands through my hair. I stopped him and asked what he was doing. He replied that without ‘compromise,’ no one gets work in this industry.”
