What Went Wrong for Aishwarya?

Well, nothing went right for her in 2010, as far as Bollywood was concerned (barring the mega success of Endhiran- The Robot, which of course was in Tamil).

Four big films-

* Raavan
* Robot
* Action Replayy
* Guzaarish

Unfortunately, the above four films (barring Robot) bombed at the BO despite being pitched as the best crowd pullers of the year prior to the release. Robot managed to pick crowds (not for long though) through word of mouth, but the rest of the movies did not even have decent openings.

* Despite all the hardships of shooting in a forest, with no proper food for four days and various other troubles, Raavan fared miserably at the BO.
* The same was the fate of Action Replayy, which when compared to recent Akshay Kumar’s films had a minimal opening and lost the race to Golmaal 3.
* Guzaarish incurred a loss of 40 crore rupees leaving the producers almost bankrupt.

Only respite for her was Endhiran, which becme the highest grossing film ever in Indian Cinema. But it was the director, Shankar and its main lead, Rajnikanth who walked away with all the accolades.

Also rumours about her being pregnant, would not bring any joy to the film makers.

Despite all this, Aishwarya is still a renowned figure in the West and her association with the Cannes Jury and other international endeavours like Longiness and L’oreal just prove that even at the age of 36, her achievements are yet to be reached by any other Indian actress.

After all, being an international figure, playing lead roles in huge projects, managing her family life and being the Bacchan Bahu have surely taken a toll of her. It would be going way too ahead, if we are writing her off. This blue-eyed damsel is still the best beauty and brains that Bollywood has ever produced.

“We were destined to come together”: Aishwarya Rai.

Bollywood’s gorgeous; Aishwarya Rai is the leading star Rituparno Ghosh’s film Devi Chaudhurani, which is an adaptation of Bankim Chandra Chatterjee’s 1884 novel. The film will be made in Hindi and Bengali. Ash has earlier worked with Ritu in Chokher Bali and Raincoat.

Bankim Chandra’s novel advocated violence against the ruling British empire to get independence. Therefore the British banned it. The ban was only lifted after India got independence.

In Devi Chaudhurani, Ash will be seen as an exceptionally good looking woman who is non-conservative and ahead of her times. Her life’s journey takes many intriguing twists and turns until the day she becomes one of the most powerful woman of Bengal.

Confirming the news, Aishwarya said to a tabloid, “Ritu has been coming with so many wonderful offers after Chokher Bali and Raincoat,” “We were destined to come together.”

The film will be shot in Kolkata. “The city always welcomes me with open arms. I’d love to work here again,” says Aishwarya.

Ash is currently on a break…

Ash is pregnant!!! Rumours doin the rounds again…

Rumours related to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have again started making the rounds. The rumours, this time, are related to her pregnancy not in India but in Dubai.

Ash was recently set to fly to Dubai to do some important interviews but her visit was canceled on account of ill health, which sparked the rumour that Ash is finally in the family way.

“Unless it is a case of dodgy Indian curries that is slowly but surely emanating, the rumour mills are grinding to grist the possibility of a classic Ash diva tantrum because she is pregnant,” a local newspaper in Dubai is reported to have printed.

Sources had informed the newspaper that Ash was not well and hence had cancelled the said interviews. This is not the first time that the buzz about her pregnancy has reached us.

Ash and Abhishek should have had a few babies by now, had we believed in all these gossips.
