Aishwarya Rai

Yeah, i know, it’s been dozen times that you might have heard that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is pregnant. There was always a false pregnancy reports over the years, variously triggered by sumptuous dinners, lack of exercise or an ill fitting dress. But this time, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is pregnant for real. It was confirmed by father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan.

On June 20th midnight, Amitabh Bachchan tweeted to his fans “NEWS NEWS NEWS !! I AM GOING TO BECOME A GRANDFATHER .. AISHWARYA EXPECTING .. SO HAPPY AND THRILLED !!!” So there is the confirmation by the Big B himself

It was just minutes that Amitabh disclosed the news, the family was flooded with congratulatory messages in both real and virtual worlds. “Overwhelmed with your wishes and blessings. 2843 new tweets in half an hour! Thank you all! Your affection and love is so touching” Amitabh Bachchan tweeted later.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, who recently celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary, this April, will be expecting their first child. The pair thanked their fans on Wednesday evening. They said “We are very happy and would like to thank all our well-wishers for their love, support and blessings“.

Abhishek Bachchan, is running high on emotions as he admits last night, as he quotes “We’ve all been trying to inform all our close friends about it. How do I feel? It’s not sunk in yet. There’s been no time. We’re still busy sharing the news with our friends. The realization will come later. Right now I’m, kind of, numb. It’s a big moment, yes.”

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, feels quiet the same way however is much more composed. She said “I guess it couldn’t be kept quiet. So now you know why I’ve been trying to stay out of the public eye lately. It’s still to sink in, really. Of course, Abhishek and I are super happy. But it is a matter of happiness for our entire family. And that makes all the difference“.

Amitabh Bachchan’s next tweets were:
“The child of Abhishek and Aishwarya shall be the first Bachchan of the generation after my brother and me …” soon followed by another tweet with clarification saying
“Clarifying : Amitabh and Ajitabh , first generation Bachchan … then Abhishek and Bhim and now Abhisheks and Aishwarya’s …”

Priyanka Chopra too showed her excitement as she tweeted “Congrats. Awesome news! Lets make way for the legacy to go forward”.

Aishwarya Rai is currently in Madhur Bhandarkar’s project called Heroine which is supposed to be finished with 45 days. So anytime in November, the film shooting shall be completed. Will Aishwarya’s pregnancy effect the shoot. Well, apparently, there is no reason why it will effect. According to a source “Madhur is not worried about Heroine’s promotions or how Ash’s pregnancy will affect the film’s success. We shouldn’t forget that Ash is a popular and successful actress and her getting married didn’t affect her fan following. She enjoys a loyal fan following and it will not be affected by her becoming a mom.” He also said “Madhur is looking to release the film around November this year and the promotional activities will be planned to suit Ash. For sure, the soon-to-be mom will be pampered by not just her family but her directors and co-stars too on the sets.”

After “Heroine”, Aishwarya Rai will not be seen on Silver Screen for a long long time…

Anyways, Congrats and Blessings to Aishwarya Rai and the whole Bachchan Pariwaar, from all her fans at AishwaryaWeb.com and it’s readers.

Aishwarya Rai attended the 162nd edition of the Prix De Diane horse race this past Sunday at Chantilly, France. She was there as the brand ambassador of The Longines. She is in France for a series of events for the Swiss watch brand.

Aishwarya Rai looked extremely gorgeous and yet again, turned heads because of her unique fashion style. Aishwarya looked sophisticated and awesomely beautiful in the peach Elle Saab gown. She topped that with a same colored loose jacket, that added class and sophistication to her looks. But it was the peach colored hat tat did the magic and she looked nothing less than some queen. Well, to be fair, she is already the reigning queen in our hearts.

Aishwarya wore a pair of very beautiful Giambattista Valli 120 deerskin metal ankle cuff sandals. Her make up was more than worth admiring. Shiny glossy lips and a sassy eye-shadow made her look picture perfect from head to toe. And yes, she accessorized herself with a chic watch (obviously of the brand “Longines”) and two rings and a golden bracelet. She kept her hair the natural way and she is just looked awesome throughout. Oh Jesus! I have stopped making sense now. I madly in love with her and my feelings are over powering my speech power. And yet am unable to write much…… sensibly.

Aishwarya Rai did sign autographs for the fans at Prix de Diane horse race. She was admired by everyone. Aishwarya’s mother Mrs. Vrinda Rai is accompanying her at France. It’s being told they will attending various other functions at France, in the next few days. Well, i will just leave you with few more pics of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan from the Prix de Diance horse race at Chantilly, France.

Until next post, it’s a goodbye!

Aishwarya Rai is back on the film sets. It was a long break from acting, considering the fact that it has been 9 months now that she gave a shot for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish opposite co-star Hrithik Roshan. Well, This time, Aishwarya is shooting for the much anticipated Madhur Bhandarkar’s movie “Heroine“. It is special in many ways, but what i like the most challenging is that the film production is supposed to be wrapped in just 45 days. Phew! That will take some hard work. I hope this speed doesn’t effect the performances and storyline and the whole outcome of the movie.

Madhur Bhandarkar, a national award winning director, (if you don’t already know) is super excited with his most ambitious project ever. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was a part of the mahurat scene as the production of the movie begins today on June 7th 2011. It’s Tuesday. And i read an interesting fat about Madhur Bhandarkar in today’s Times of India newspaper. It says “Madhur, who is a devotee of lord Ganesha, has been following a trend of starting his movies on Tuesday as he considers it a lucky day for him. It is believed that just like every Tuesday he visited the Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai today morning and then began the shoot.” Well, i believe it’s the director’s hard work, which got him real success. Because God helps those who help themselves.

Aishwarya Rai is the leading actress in the movie Heroine. There are two male leads i.e. Arjun Rampal and Arunodya Singh. Pretty interesting star cast, i must say. Aishwarya’s looks in the film is kept a secret but it will be Manish Malhotra who will be styling Aishwarya in the film. The movie “Heroine” was announced in May at the Cannes Film Festival.

According to press notes from Cannes “The film is based on the life and times of a superstar heroine from Bollywood. It is said to be an entertaining, daring, emotional, shocking, glamorous, scandalous behind the scenes account of the reality behind the world of glitz and glamor that the film stars inhabit. For a country obsessed with films and film stars, Heroine will take audiences on a voyeuristic journey to see what really goes on behind the closed doors of make up rooms and vanity vans. It will give them a chance to go beyond the gorgeous smiles and politically correct quotes, to see what really happens in the lives of India’s sweethearts – The sniping & the politics, the secrets & the lies, the incredible highs of fame & the lonely depths of failure.”

Madhur Bhandarkar considers this movie to be his magnum opus. Infact Madhur has made the entire Heroine cast and crew sign a non disclosure agreement and banned media and visitors from the film’s set, to preclude a plot leak. I like it. Becausepreviews and teasers kills the story sometimes. This is going to be better

Except the fim to be released somewhere in November this year. Madhur Bhandarkar hasn’t announced the release date though. We will just keep a lookout on the news for further details.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan are really traveling a lot these days. This is the third event function within this week that Aishwarya appeared at. The other two being GQ Awards in Kalina, Mumbai and later on at Georgio Armani’s Fashion Show at Milan.

Anyhow, Roberto Cavalli’s 40th Anniversary party at Les Beaux-Arts de Paris, France on September 29 and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looked drop dead gorgeous in a silver Roberto Cavalli gown. It was just magical how she looked like at the function. Different hairstyle and bit of transformation from beautiful to smoking hot gal. She looked incredible. She was accompanied with Abhishek Bachchan and he looked debonair in his black suit. Anyhow, Aishwarya Rai looked resplendent and even Roberto Cavalli himself couldn’t stop from tweeting. He said on his twitter page “Aishwarya Rai is here, she’s beautiful!”

As for Aishwarya Rai, she wore a super sparkly fish scale gown with train. She accessorized with blue clutch with sparkly band detail, silver heels, and stud earrings. Her hair was styled in flirty curls with a middle parting. She wore smoky eye makeup and plum glossy lipstick.

After the fashion week at Milan, it is believed that Roberto Cavalli invited his closest friends and celebrities and associates at the gala dinner for 800 in Paris. Believe it or not, this event cost him close to $2 million. Phew!!! Now that’s what i call a partyyyyy. Roberto also announced his book at the occasion which is all about his 40 years in the fashion business.

Other big celebrities and stars that added grace to the party and wore their choice of Roberto Cavalli’s creations included Janet Jackson, Taylor Swift, Rachel Bilson, Heidi Klum, Karolina Kurkova, Leona Lewis, Bar Rafaeli, Naomi Campbell, Leigh Lezark and Natalia Vodianova.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and hubby Abhishek Bachchan attended the Georgio Armani Fashion show at Milan, on September’ 27th. This was the last day of the Milan’s Fashion Week.

Aishwarya wore the basic Armani silhouette to the fashion show event, which comprised of a long sleeve silky black fitted tunic top, over long flared trousers. She accessorized with black pumps, black clutch, diamond stud earrings, and two rings on her right hand. Her hair, colored reddish brown, was styled with side parting and bottom curls.

Aishwarya Rai wore Giorgio Armani’s Black Pive Gown at The Cannes Film Festival 2010. Here is the Link If you don’t remember) >> Aishwarya Rai At 63rd Cannes Film Festival Day-2.

I think Aishwarya is looking for some new stunning dress from the same fashion house for the upcoming 63rd Cannes Film Festival. Or maybe it’s for some other event.

Anyways, Aishwarya and Abhishek weren’t the only celebrities at the show. There were also likes of George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis. Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green also graced the event.

This year’s Armani show was inspired by “Turaeg” who are group of Muslim nomads of the “Sahara”. Models wore blue knotted turbans and black in particular. You can search for the video on YouTube if you are interested in wating this particular fashion show. Who knows, maybe Aishwarya does chose one special gown from this collection.
