The Queen actress further challenged critics to do better instead of tearing someone down. “Those of you who want to see her any other way, why don’t you show what you got?? She is not here to please you, she is glorious,” she wrote. Kangana calls out ageism on red carpets. Kangana also pointed out the ageist undertones in the criticism surrounding Aishwarya’s red carpet appearances. “If you are not used to seeing older women on red carpets, get used to them now,” she added.

The debate around Aishwarya’s Cannes looks has intensified recently after social media users compared her appearances to those of Alia Bhatt, who made headlines for her outings at the festival this year. While some users praised Alia’s fashion choices, others defended Aishwarya, noting that she has represented India at Cannes for over two decades.
