Earlier, speaking at the audio launch of 'Lal Salaam' in chennai, aishwarya had said: "I generally stay away from social media, but my team often tells me what's happening and keeps showing some posts. I used to get angry seeing them. We're human beings too. In recent times, many people call my father a Sanghi.”
