Aishwarya Rajesh’s emotional video about her journey to success

In a recent Tedx talk show event held at IIM Trichy, Aishwarya Rajesh gave a short Ted Talk, speaking about her journey - from the slum of Chennai to becoming one of the Industry’s finest actresses.

She said “I was from a lower middle class family. From a place where people call it slum. I lived in a housing board apartment, along with my 3 brothers and parents. When I was 8, my father passed away. It was my mother who took care of all of us. She is a very strong and bold person. She never made us feel like we missed our father.”

“When I was 11 or 12 years old, my eldest brother passed away. We were horrified after his death. A year or year and a half later, my other brother died in a road accident too. This phase of my life was very emotional. We had no one to support our family.”

“Later, I got offers to work in Serials, but the pay was really less for the amount of work I was to do. That’s when my mom told me I had to go work in films if I wanted a better pay. I started looking for movie opportunities, to support my family. I also had a dance background, as I won a Dance reality show.”

“One problem I faced in the cinema industry is the Colour. My color and complexion was a problem for some people. I didn’t know to dress like all the North Indian actresses. That was a problem. Some people even rejected me because I spoke Tamil.”

“Some directors offered me the role of a lady love of comedians. I didn’t want that. A good character role was my dream. I did a small role in ‘Attakathi’. Audience really liked that performance. ‘Kaaka Muttai’ was the movie that shaped up my career.”

Facing all the hurdles in her life all alone, Aishwarya Rajesh said “Nobody supported me, trust me. Nobody believed in me. I supported myself. I believed in myself. That’s what made me who I am.”

The ‘Kanaa’ actress also added “I have faced all sorts of criticisms and problems in my life - including Sexual Harassments and abuses. I am bold enough to give it back to the abusers. I want all women to be that way.”

This story shared by Aishwarya Rajesh might be a small one. Behind the story, there are so many unseen struggles and humiliations which she faced. One of the hardest things to do in life is to believe in yourself when no one else does. Aishwarya Rajesh is a live example for this. She believed in herself and is a self made star today. Her speech is bound to inspire and anyone looking for motivation can seek it from her words.
