Aishwarya Rai

I guess Pritish Nandy doesn’t need any introduction. He is popular as a prolific journalist, filmmaker and a great poet. Pritish Nandy just launched his new book of poems titled “Again”. Aishwarya Rai along with Anupam Kher, MP Shashi Tharoor and Gulzar unveiled his book “Again” on evening of May 27′ 2010 at Crossword, Kemps Corner, Mumbai.

Aishwarya Rai looked cute and sweet in all white. She recently came back from what i should believe was pretty tiring hard work. I am talking about the Cannes Festival 2010. Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan also spent some quality time together at Turkey’s capital, Istanbul where Abhishek Bachchan is shooting for a film, probably titled “Dum Maaro Dum”. The couple left for Istanbul on May 18th. And no Aishwarya is not a part of that movie. They just wanted to have a vacation together. Anyways, Aishwarya reached Mumbai just in time for Pritish Nandy’s book launch. She was wearing some white dress and had a light makeup on and as i mentioned earlier, she looked pretty and sweeeet.

Pritish Nandy, who is now 59, has published 17 volumes of poems since the age of 16. That is a big deal, no doubt. However it’s been a long time since he picked up his pen for writing poems, since his last volume was published way back in 1981 which was titled “The Rainbow Last Night”. In his latest book “Again”, if i am not wrong, there are 72 poems in there. I wish i can get a copy of that!

Anyways, as of what i know about the book launch event, Pritish Nandy, this brilliant man, was all nervous at the event. In his own words “Suddenly everyone has access to your innermost thoughts and beliefs. It doesn’t matter how many books you may have written, you still feel insecure, unsure, tentative, vulnerable.” I would agree to that. How true!!!!

So, like all book launch events, in the end, Pritish Nandy read some excerpts from the poems from his book “Again”.

Enjoy the pics and the video from the book launch event. You will definitely be mesmerized by Aishwarya Rai in the video

I almost forgot adding the video here. Nonetheless, here it is. Enjoy the moments!

The doe-eyed beauty of India, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will soon be seen on the small screen. Well that’s the new buzz in Bolly Town. I am not sure if this story holds true. Aishwarya, our pretty pretty actress who has not been seen in any movies since her last hit, Guru, is all set for her next flick, Raavan. The Bachchan bahu has a number of projects lined up for her with some of best movie makers of the Indian film industry, with whom most of actors aspire of working with sometime. However the buzz that i was talking about is that there will be a new chat show with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the host/anchor.

The program for which Aishwarya will be the host is reportedly a chat show on national television. The complete details of the show have not been disclosed so far. The decision of showing her up on small screen was, in fact that of Amitabh Bachchan. He rather considers this as a ritual or shall i term it as tradition. He himself started it off with Big Boss and following him was Abhishek who is currently hosting a game show, Bingo.

Aishwarya Rai’s fans who have been waiting desperately for a glance of her, this can be the moment. This is indeed a double treat.

Hopefully this news is true and there will really be a chat show. I remember last time there was a rumor that Aishwarya will be one of the judge for India’s Got Talent but nothing like that ever came up. Anyways, hoping this to be true.

Seems like Aishwarya Rai flies around the world faster than the volcanic ash did. Ash, who was in Mumbai just a few days ago, has again gone off to attend some important events abroad.

She will soon be busy with the promotion of Mani Ratnam’s film with hubby Abhishek and south star Vikram, ‘Raavan’. Then she has to go for the Cannes Festival.

She also has to give her time for a ninety day schedule for the shooting of the Nikhil Advani film ‘Patiala House,’ with Akshay Kumar.

Now, all this is leaving the director Vipul Shah, jittery and dry. According to reports, his film ‘Action Replayy’, which stars Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai, is yet to get completed. As the main song, which received much publicity recently, is yet to be shot. Apart from that, the entire shoot for the film is complete.

But, due to the busy schedules of both the stars, there is no scope for the song pictirisation to get started, forget completion.

So, the workaholic and helpful Aishwarya, made a suggestion. She asked Vipul to fly to London with his crew, and she would fly from Cannes, so AkshayKumar and she would be able to give him time for night shifts. Vipul Shah, who is a friend of Nikhil Advani, is not sure as to how he can go for this suggestion by Ash.

And not think of the time and money that the director, Nikhil Advani would lose because of this So, the director, who anyway has shifted his date of release from July to September, and can afford to wait for a few days Now, it remains to be seen what Ash has to say to this!.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan seems to be going through a rough time, health-wise. Earlier this year, Aishwarya fell ill on the sets of “Action Replay”, and now she has injured herself with some cuts and bruises on the sets of “Raavana”.

When Ash, one of B-town’s biggest stars, fell ill while shooting “Action Replay” with Akshay Kumar, Bollywood was on high alert! The model and actress had spent a week on Manori Island working with Vipul Shah on the movie that tells the story of a time-traveling man, played by Akshay.

But all of a sudden, while shooting a scene, Ash got sick and had to take antibiotics. But it seems like Mrs Bachchan ate the medicine like candy and soon had a bad reaction. Her lips got swollen and her fever worsened. But what to do when you have to finish a movie? Well, Ash is a true professional and decided to simply cover her face with a veil and continue shooting! Interesting! No rest for this L’Oreal girl!

“The reaction could’ve either been because of the antibiotics, which she took in excess as she had to finish the shooting yesterday as well as fulfill the next important commitment of being the keynote speaker at a women’s summit today, or it could also be an insect sting,” Aishwarya’s spokesperson said at the time.

And now the actress is at it again! This time she cut herself while shooting the movie “Raavana.” Ash reportedly climbed a mountain as part of a scene where she wanted to perform a stunt herself, but as is often the case when the stars want to be in on the stunt action, it backfired and Aishwarya suffered cuts and bruises. Ouch! Well we have to give Ash kudos for her bravery; we just wish she would be more careful!

Good luck to Aishwarya Rai, but i guess you all would agree to me that it’s time Aishwarya Rai should realize that stuntman and stuntwoman have a job and they are there for a reason. Let them do their part from now on and Ash should just concentrate on acting and looking all the more beautiful

Aishwarya Rai and Fredia Pinto are going to battle it out for next Bond movie. Both are vying to be the first Indian Bond girl as rumors spread that the next 007 film will be shot in India.

Producers of the film, expected to be directed by Sam Mendes, have been scouting locations in India. It is believed that the plot of the movie is based on Afghanistan which has terrains and landscapes similar to India’s state of Rajasthan which is a deserts and also the arid mountains of Ladakh, another great picturesque place close to the border with Tibet.

Last week, rumors arose when Freida Pinto, who played Latika in the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire, was linked to the James Bond movie by some unknown source. Her latest film, “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger“, directed by the greatest of all, Woody Allen, will be released later this year.

On the other hand, we have our very beautiful and the very first choice for a bond girl since last few years, Ms. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She is a former Miss World and India’s most successful actress. That alone says plenty about Aishwarya’s beauty, glamorous image and the experience she has in industry. According to a source “Aishwarya Rai, 36, was better suited to the role because of her vast experience in Bollywood and Hollywood. She recently appeared in Pink Panther 2 with Steve Martin and made her name outside India in Bride and Prejudice.”

While comparing both the actresses, it was said “Freida Pinto, Aged 25 and recently listed as one of the world’s most beautiful women by People magazine, she would appear to fit the age and beauty profile.” but as for Aishwarya Rai “While Rai is 11 years older, her friends reminded her Indian fans she was once described as the “most beautiful woman in the world” by Julia Roberts.”

None of the spokesman for Eon, the film’s producers, were available for comment.

Aishwarya Rai, the face of many cosmetic products and the highest paid actress in Bollywood, definitely does not have any competition whatsoever and in AishwaryWeb.com’s honest review, Aishwarya has got it all what it takes to be a bond girl. The only thing is, whether Aishwarya will say yes to the role or not!
