Aishwarya Rai

The Bachchans were so keen on having Madhuri Dixit in their The Unforgettable world tour that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made sure that the senior actress has no trouble balancing work and personal life.

Ash played the perfect bahu as she personally called up Madhuri Dixit’s husband Sriram Nene to assure him that his wife won’t have to stay away from home for too long due to the Bachchan’s world tour.

According to sources, Madhuri’s participation in the Bachchan’s world tour was quite an uncertain affair till Aishwarya

decided to take matters in her own hand. Of course, she was at her charming best and smoothly managed to convince Nene to let Madhuri join them. Continue reading ‘Dont Worry, Aishwarya is ‘Here’’

It is said that a biopic on the assassinated leader Benazir Bhutto will be made pretty soon by UTV and it is planning to induct Aishwarya Rai to play the beautiful leader.

A spokesperson from UTV said that it will divulge all information only after everything is finalized.

Aishwarya Rai is getting lots of film offers from the West and from within the country. The actress is quite happy these days after Sarkar Raj, which was a family affair; the film had Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai in the main roles

With a figure to die for, the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan says that she not only avoids diets but is also a complete foodie.

“I love food. I eat a lot. And I am not embarrassed about it. I know it is kind of impossible to believe that I love eating and indulge in all my favorite foods whenever I get the chance, but that’s the honest truth.” Ash said to an unbelieving audience recently.

But in public Ash exercises restraint so that people do not stare at her. At home she gives way to her weakness.

The only time Ash had to diet was to prepare for the role in Dhoom 2 in which she had to cut her weight to a miniscule 54 kilos.

“It was a painful experience. I had to be 54 kgs and so for a month I was on a strict diet. That was the most painful period for me. And to add to my misery, I had to work out” Ash remembered.

At present Ash said she has a good metabolic rate and does not need to work out but she hits the gym a couple of times a week to keep fit.

Reminiscing about her movies she says she looks well fed in most movies except ‘Dhoom 2’ in which she looks well toned. But ‘Dhoom 2’ brings back unpleasant memories of her dieting.

Ash revealed that during the shooting of Sarkar Raj , the Bachchan family used to carry home cooked food.

But Ash said, “ I love all cuisines. And any time is a good chow time.”

Sonal Chauhan to step into Aishwarya Rai’s shoes. The success of Jannat has certainly created a ‘Jannat’ for actress Sonal Chauhan. Besides producers and directors making a beeline for her, Sonal is also garnering popularity in international circuits.

According to the latest buzz, she has been approached by international director and producer Jagmohan Mundra.

Mundra’s last film Provoked starring Aishwarya Rai, was the most-talked-about film in the commercial as well as the festival circuits. And now after working with the Bollywood queen Ash, the director has approached Sonal for his women centric theme.

Sonal, of course, is looking forward to working with the director and also playing a character that will go down in the annals of history. After all you do not get to do scripts that revolve around you everyday.

But that does not mean that Sonal is saying yes to everything that comes her way. In fact the actress is being very choosy and selective because she wants to do roles that make her presence felt in the film irrespective of the length.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s much anticipated Hollywood biggie ‘Racing the Monsoon’ has come to standstill with Michael Douglas dropping the Indian beauty from his home production.

Just when we believed that Ash was our own answer to Hollywood, the damsel’s Hollywood plans have hit a roadblock, as she is no longer a part of Douglas’s movie for which she was to initially play the main lead.

The film ‘Racing the Monsoon’ is being jointly produced by Michael Douglas’s ‘Further Films’ and ‘Percept Picture Company’s’ Shailendra Singh. Douglas’s wife Catherine Zeta Zones has stepped in place of Aishwarya.

Though the reasons for the change are known, industry insiders are citing Zeta’s global appeal over Aishwarya as a possible reason for the move.

‘Racing the Monsoon’ will see Douglas portraying a double role and the movie premise is based around a diamond robbery, which occurs on an Indian train.

So everything about the Bachchans isn’t picture perfect after all… least of all their beautiful bahu Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

The actress allegedly couldn’t keep her voice down during the recent IIFA awards, reports Mumbai Mirror. Abhishek and Aishwarya, just like the other stars, were staying in the Dusit Thani Hotel in Bangkok.

On their way to attend the IIFA ceremony, Abhishek and Ash were seen walking down the stairs with actor Kunal Kapoor. The actress was allegedly getting a little too loud and giggly when Abhishek subtly asked her to keep her voice down. Kapoor, not wanting to intervene in a marital spat, quickly said his goodbyes and disappeared.

Unfortunately, Aishwarya was in no mood to be told what to do and continued her high spirited self-expressive banter. Abhishek then took her to the lobby, sat her down and had a chat with her.

“For a while things were quiet until Ash suddenly decided to pipe up all over again,” says an eye-witness. “She continued auguring at the top of her voice until Abhishek, sensing that the situation was getting embarrassingly out of control, beckoned his personal security guards and asked them to escort his wife to her room.”

One of the most beautiful women in the world has been avoiding socializing with people because she has been down with a contagious disease.

If you wonder why Aishwarya Rai wasn’t seen publicly after the IIFA awards in Bangkok, here’s the answer. The actress has been bedridden with German measles. Since it is a contagious disease that can transmit to other people, Ash has reportedly been keeping more to herself, even in the Bachchan household.

Reports have it that Ash has got best medical advice and has been taking medication for many days. Now, thankfully, she has almost recovered from the disease.

According to industry sources, the actress was very well looked after by the Bachchan family that took precautions but never fully quarantined Ash because of the contagious nature of her disease.

Meanwhile, Ash’s status in Michael Douglas’s film Racing the Monsoon is still not clear. Even though the buzz is that she has been dropped, some reports say she is still part of the film but won’t play the lead role opposite Douglas.

Aishwarya Rai, the apple of the nations eye, is suffering from German measles (Rubella infection), a viral infection characterized by fever, swollen and painful lymph nodes, and a runny nose.

Aishwarya Rai’ s manager Hari Singh has said that she will not be available for about 10 to 15 days for any promo or shooting as she is suffering from a bout of fever and is advised total rest. He confirmed that Aishwarya Rai has signed Robot and another production by Mani Ratnam, and also that she will be given a 2-month break from Shankar’s Robot when filming for Mani Ratnam’s film commences.

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai has reportedly been replaced by the Hollywood stunner Catherine Zeta Jones in a film to be co-produced by Michael Douglas.

Douglas is making an action adventure called Racing the Monsoon on the lines of his 1980s superhit ‘Romancing the Stone’. The Hollywood star visited India last year and agreed to co-produce the film with the Bollywood production house Percept Pictures Company.

Douglas is now back again in India to finalize the shooting locations and to get a glimpse of the monsoon. Continue reading ‘Aishwarya Rai dropped from Michael Douglas’ film’
