On the British TV show 'The Morning,' the host addressed Aishwarya by saying, "Whatever the reason, you are encouraging men to sit in front of the TV and ogle and look at the pretty bodies in swimsuits." But Aishwarya fought back with an amazing answer that shut down the journalist's claim.

"I think this is the wrong way to think," she said. This kind of pageant has a motto: "Beauty with a purpose." You become an ambassador, which brings in a lot of money for charities. These nonprofits help people not only in this country but all over the world. The main idea is fun, but it also has a point. Since it's theatre, or "showbiz," the evening would have to be fancy.

Aishwarya's thoughtful answer was enough to win over the reporter. But she later said that wearing a bikini wasn't comfy for her. During a news conference, she said, "After my pageant in 1994, the bikini round was cancelled in 1995. I told the organisers that it wasn't natural for some of us from different countries to feel safe wearing bikinis on the ramp. I wasn't just speaking for myself; I was speaking for a lot of girls from places where the swimwear round wasn't needed."
