Aishwarya Rai

While Aishwarya’s Rai Bachchan’s business manager rightly denies that the role offered to the Indian beauty went to any other actress, it was Celina Jaitley who initially refused to grab the role, now being played by Mrs Bachchan.

Says Celina, “With due respects to Aishwarya and her LA business manager, my work in the US is looked after by Brillstein-Grey who also look after names like Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston.

The script was sent through my agents.”
