Aishwarya Rao's next film, Fanney Khan, is about a teenage girl's extraordinary dreams of become of a pop singer. However, her aspirations are bogged down by her appearance and she's mocked at for being overweight.

Aishwarya says it was due to this theme that she agreed to come on board for the film. The actress doesn't have a lot of screen space in the film. But, Aish says it is fine since she wanted to contribute in the film's cause of body shaming.

In an interview with a leading daily, Aishwarya talked about her association with Fanney Khan, the time when she herself faced body shaming, being confident, and more.

The actress, who plays a pop-star in the film, said, "I decided to do this film because there’s an immense sweetness and a lightheartedness in the script; it’s wonderfully written. I could see why the makers wanted a star to play the pop singer. When they
approached me, they told me, we wanted to take a chance and see if you would consider doing it since it’s not a big part. I could see what it could do for the larger picture".

Talking about being criticised for her body post Aaradya's birth, the actress quoted, "When I became a mother, it was the most beautiful feeling in the world. There were several hormonal changes within, but it didn’t change anything. And way before all this, whenever people would ask me fashion or trend-based questions, I’d always tell them to be comfortable in their skin. At least now you know I meant it and it wasn’t just for the quote (smiles)".

Aishwarya also maintained that she will never change her personal style or let any pressure rule over her fashion choices. She said she owns her confidence and loves the way she looks at the world.
