Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of the most gorgeous divas in the country. She was crowned as the Miss World nearly 30 years ago and her beauty is still unmatchable. Despite her achievements, she is often addressed with lewd remarks for all unnecessary reasons. Now, a BJP minister in Maharashtra has courted controversy with his remarks about eating fish daily. The political leader said that the daily consumption of fish will make one's “eyes as beautiful” as those of Aishwarya’s.
Now, a video of state-tribal minister Vijaykumar Gavit making at a public function in north Maharashtra’s Nandurbar district has grabbed the headlines. However, the video was an instant hit on social media owing to his remarks and netizens have been going berserk over the same.
In the video, the minister said, “People who consume fish on a daily basis develop smooth skin and their eyes sparkle. If anyone looks at you, the person will get attracted (towards you).”
The 68-year-old minister added, “Did I tell you about Aishwarya Rai? She lived near the seashore in Mangaluru. She would consume fish daily. Have you seen her eyes? You will also have eyes like her. The fish contains some oils, it makes your skin smooth.”
धुळे जिल्ह्यात सभेत बोलत असताना मंत्री विजय कुमार गावित यांनी महिलांचा अवमान होईल असे वक्तव्य केले. लोकप्रतिनिधींच्या वक्तव्याचा, वर्तनाचा दीर्घ परिणाम समाजमनावर होतो असतो. त्यामुळे लोकप्रतिनिधींनी समाजात वावरताना त्यांच्यावर असलेल्या जबाबदारीचे भान ठेवणे आवश्यक आहे.1/2 pic.twitter.com/4sjDbTmR5u

However, the BJP leader’s remarks did not go well with the internet users and it landed him in controversy. A women's panel sought an explanation of his remarks within three days.
Maharashtra Women’s Commission chief Rupali Chakankar asked Gavit to submit an explanation in three days about his comments.
A letter uploaded by the chief of Maharashtra Women’s Commission Rupali Chakankar on social media read, “Videos have gone viral in which you have made insulting comments against women. There have been reactions to your comments in society. People’s representatives should be cautious of their comments as it creates a long-lasting impression on the society.”
The letter added, “You should submit your clarification in three days before the state women’s commission. A state’s progress is defined on women and their safety.”
Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai and her team are yet to react to the controversial remarks made by the Maharashtra minister.
