Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a thoroughly professional actress and she is ready to go the extra-mile to get under the skin of her character. For her upcoming movie, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan underwent training in Indian classical singing. According to news reports, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is going to play the character of Sita in Mani Ratnam’s movie, Raavan.

The movie is based on famous Indian epic, Ramayana. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be playing the character of Sita and hubby Abhishek Bachchan will play the character of Ram and Govinda will play the role of Hanuman. In real life, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is quite a good singer but not good enough to sing classical songs. For her role, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wants to sing all the songs by herself. She will take lessons from a guru.

Currently, Farhan Akhtar has become hugely popular by singing songs in Rock On!! but there are several actors and actresses in Bollywood who sang for their roles.

Farhan Akhtar’s step mother, Shabana Azmi also underwent training to sing her songs in Morning Raga. Among the Khans, Aamir Khan became very much popular singing “Aati Kya Khandala” in Ghulam. Shah Rukh Khan tried his luck in Josh (2000).

Last but not the least, mega star Amitabh Bachchan sang several songs in his movies and some of them are very much popular even today.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan are also going to star in the remake of famous classical movie, Abhimaan (1973). In the original version, the central characters were played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s in-laws; Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan. Jaya Bachchan played the role of a singer and so will Aishwarya Bachchan.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan may have chosen to take it easy post her marriage, but a recent development in her career has made all those speechless who feel that the beautiful actress’ career is no longer on an upswing.

She has broken the record of Kareena Kapoor with her whopping ten crores contract for her latest film. Earlier, this honor was with Kareena Kapoor with a figure of seven crores.

The film is to be produced Bobby Pushkarna, of the critically acclaimed film “Page 3“. Pushkarna was keen on cast Ash only and was determined to shelve the project if the lady did not give an affirmative nod.

Finally, after a three-month long chase, Pushkarna was able to persuade her to do his film. The deal has not yet been finalized in pen and paper but both the parties seem positive.

Thank God! Aishwarya Rai does not have any disease. All this reports about Stomach Tuberculosis were all false and fabricated stories by the Mumbai journalism. The Mumbai Mirror and Mid Day both reported couple of days back that Aishwarya has stomach TB. Can’t believe what limits some people are willing to cross to make some sales.

Amitabh Bachchan is deeply angered over a latest media report that Aishwarya Rai, his daughter-in-law and wife of son Abhishek Bachchan, can’t have a baby right now because she’s suffering from stomach tuberculosis. Amitabh referred to the Mumbai mirror story as “completely false, completely fabricated, unsubstantiated, insensitive and of the lowest quality of journalism there ever was.” An understandably pained Amitabh Bachchan added, “I am too incensed and angered by the contents above !! Not a single portion of the article is true !! I have much to comment upon on this, but shall hold on till another day. For the moment I have only this to say. I am the head of my family. Aishwarya is not my daughter – in – law, she is my daughter, a woman, a lady in my house and home. If anyone will speak derogatorily about her, I shall fight for her till my last breath. If you have something to say to the men in the house, Abhishek or me, I shall bear it. But .. if you shall make injudicious remarks on the women in my home, I shall not tolerate it !!!”

Abhishek Bachchan had some similar sentiments on his twitter account. He said “The article is disgusting and appalling! As a husband and a man i’m shocked that one can talk so irresponsibly about a woman, that too FALSELY!! on a personal note, as a husband i will not stand for such rubbish being written about my wife.”
He added “i have never reacted to all the fabricated stories written by the media about me and my own. BUT THIS IS THE LIMIT!!!”
“You want to write and malign me or my father i will take it. but the ladies of my home are off limits! they’ve gone too far this time.”

You know, it’s good to see someone going this far to protect the people they love. I’m really happy for the Bachchan parivar. And at the same time shame on the journalist who went this far to sell few copies of their newsline. What a shame!!!!

Anyways, we, the true fans of Aishwarya are really glad and relieved that Aishwarya Rai is perfectly fine and hope she continues to do well in all aspects of her life.

After spending crores on his film Endhiran starring Aishwarya Rai and Rajnikant, director Shankar is in talks to get a 3D version of it. Yes, nothing was planned but in an attempt to stop piracy of his film, Shankar is keen to make a 3D version.

I’m not particularly sure how this protects piracy of a film but he most probably got the idea from the megaflick and the biggest hollywood hit of this year “Avatar”. Hopefully he will make something good out of this 3D.

As reported by a daily, a part of ‘Endhiran’ will get converted into 3D. Shankar, who had a not-so-good experience with his last release Jaggubhai, is being extra cautious this time. The entire film ‘Jaggubhai’ was available on the internet before it came out of the processing lab.

Now, the director who is in no mood to take risks with his magnum opus is consulting financial experts to get ‘Endhiran’ in 3D. He was also shown a 3D demo of the film by a special effects company, and was highly impressed by the result. Fans are waiting!

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.
