Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been trying to become a mother for some time now. The fact that she has so far not gotten pregnant is actually a cause for concern for the entire Bachchan parivar.

According to a close family friend, though outwardly the family may have taken the when-it-happens-it-will-happen stand, but within, there’s a very ardent desire to have an heir for the family as soon as possible.

Mr Bachchan is especially sold on a grandson, but when asked about it he says, as usual, “When it happens, it will happen.”

But the question that is really bothers the family and their close friends is – when? After all, it’s no secret that Aishwarya is 37, and she isn’t getting any younger.

But it now comes to light that the reason for her inability to bear a child at the moment is because she has been suffering from stomach tuberculosis for a while.

Says a source, “The medication Aishwarya is taking for her stomach ailment is hampering her from getting pregnant. Until the tuberculosis is fully cured, she is unlikely to risk a pregnancy.”

On his blog, an anguished Amitabh Bachchan has written about ‘the rich man’s TB’, dispelling the myth that the disease only afflicts the less privileged. Now that the supposed reason for the delay in her pregnancy is clearer, we can only hope and pray that the Bachchan bahu speedily recovers from the ailment and fulfills her ardent desire to become a mother.

Bollywood is on high alert! One of its biggest stars, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has fallen ill while shooting her latest movie “Action Replay.”

The model and actress has spent the last week on Manori Island working with Vipul Shah on the movie that tells the story of a time-traveling man, played by Akshay Kumar.

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 have 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. But unfortunately the star didn’t get any better despite all the antibiotics and today her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, had to accept an award for her at the summit. Poor Ash! We hope she gets better soon!

I know the advertisemnet has been showing up on media since like 10-15 days but i haven’t been on this site since end of July. So i am just making up for it by putting up all the Aishwarya Rai’s news that i should have, as and when they happened. Moving on to the news….

Well, we all know that Lux has a reputation to rope in high profile Bollywood actors for it’s advertising campaigns. Aishwarya is no stranger to them. She has been the brand ambassador since last past 10 years. So, obviously she would be the first choice to launch this new product of theirs. Butr surprisingly they have also managed to rope in Abhishek Bachchan for this advertisement campaign.

In the words of Tista Sen, executive director of the brand, “We were asked to launch the best ever Lux soap, which is rich with beauty oils, for soft skin like never before. For most women in India a bath is a cleansing ritual rather than a beautifying process. The new Lux, with a new promise of “new luxury experience in bath – a luxurious process that  brings about noticeably softer skin and a new you.” I take pleasure in knowing that all I need is my noticeably softer skin to disarm even the most unflappable men.”

The commercial is already out and this is how it goes – Aishwarya Rai having a leisurely bath in the tub. After she gets ready, Abhishek Bachchan comes home and sits down to read the paper. She sneaks in behind him and gently blindfolds him, while he just takes in the scent of her. What follows is a game of blind man’s buff, where he is trying to get hold of her and her soft skin.

Talking about the advertisement, Tinta Sen said “The campaign is part of the Lux brand idea that is ‘Behave beautiful’. It encourages women to enjoy being beautiful, have fun and take pleasure in it. It is playful and demonstrates through soft skin, all the Lux brand values.” He added “Ash has been the brand ambassador for Lux since the past 10 years. Who better than her to launch the new Lux. We wanted to portray her life when she is playing herself. To make the idea work beyond just a script, we thought of casting Abhishek with her. It is the couple coming together for the first time. They are real, in-sync with each other and seen in a role reversal of sorts. Ash is the one playing the prank and Abhishek is at the receiving end.”

I would leave it here with the advertisement itself. If anyone in world knows about the song that is being played in background, please let me know. It goes something like “Sone to vi sona lage….” and has some Rajasthani touch to it. Alrighty, here is the advertisement for you!

Who ever thought that Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited would ever fail. But the company never got the right start and failed & then failed again. But i guess now ABCL has a reason to celebrate with the new hope they see under Aishwarya Rai. That’s right, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, daughter in law of Amitabh Bachchan, has taken up the responsibility to revive the destiny of the family banner.

As you might just not be knowing it, “Paa” is being released under ABCL banner. According to some online media buffs, Bachchans are pretty confident about the success of “Paa” specially after series of flops in the past. You know what! Even i am pretty confident about the success of the movie “Paa”, and hopefully, it will truly be a success worldwide.

Anyways, getting back on the subject, Aishwarya Rai has played a major role in planning the marketing strategies of the movie “Paa” under AB Corp Ltd. She is really leaving nothing to chance and taking full control of the marketing. So whether it’s the head-in-the-box teaser ads, or Auro merchandise, Paa-and-I campaign strategies, or Big B visiting schools, all the promotional strategies for the film are filtered by Aishwarya. So, with this in mind and to continue with some good projects,  they have chosen Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to head the ABCL banner for the revival or shall i say re-establishment. So far, so good…hoping the same for future.

By the way, just for your information, here is the list of movies that have been launched under ABCL banner:

1. Paa (2009)
2. Family: Ties of Blood (2006)
3. Antarmahal: Views of the Inner Chamber (2005)
4. Viruddh… Family Comes First (2005)
5. Aks (2001)
6. Major Saab (1998)
7. Mrityudaata (1997)
8. Saat Rang Ke Sapne (1997)
9. Tere Mere Sapne (1996)
10. Bumbai (1995)

I don’t know. I kinda liked Major Saab and Viruddh and the songs for Aks were pretty cool as well.
Anyways, let me wish Bachchans family a bright future and lot of success with Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited.

A Decade ago, On July 26th, 1999, India won Kargil war, an event which holds a special place in every Indian’s heart. Aishwarya Rai‘s hubby Abhishek Bachchan covered an extra mile and paid a visit to the soldiers who in the most difficult situation are standing strong and protecting our country from the enemies. On 26th July 2009, Abhishek Bachchan pauid a visit to some war zones at Kargil and Drass. He met lot of Indian soldiers there in and had long chats with them. Surely his presence made many soldiers happy. But this wasn’t all. Abhishek Bachchan carried with him “Gajar Ka Halwa” (An Indian Dessets made from carrots) and “Aam Ras” (Another Indian Dessert made from mango fruit). These two delicacies were prepared by none other than Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan. Ahhh! I can’t even begin to think how happy that would have made our soldiers!

Obviously, whole of India paid homage to the martyrs of the Kargil war this sunday, but the Bachchan’s gesture of showing true support was fabulous. Abhishek Bachchan along with media channel NDTV remembered the sacrifice of the Jawans who gave their life for India in the Kargil war 10 years back. Abhishek also recited a beautiful poem titled “Agnipath” to the soldiers. The poem was composed by Abhishek’s grandfather, Mr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan, who was one of the best poets that India ever had. And when the whole Bachchan parivar is contributing, how can Amitabh Bachchan be left out. Big B left a special message for the brave soldiers which Abhishek read out when he was in Kargil. I’m so sure this would have been so much appreciated by the brave soldiers posted in Kargil and Drass!

As a true Indian, i think it’s our duty to respect our country and salute the brave soldiers that protect it from our enemies. I salute all the brave Indian soldiers who are fighting our enemies and protecting our country at all times. God bless you all!
