Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai had been ill for more than a month. On 11 February ’2010, the 36-year-old beautiful lady had returned home from the sets of the movie due to high fever.

But now she has been recovered and was on a full-day photo shoot on Friday with the actor Akshay Kumar at Film City, for Vipul Shah‘s Action Replayy.

Aishwarya Rai was advised by doctors to take complete bed rest. Apparently, she was suffering from sore throat as well as body pain. So she took rest for a few days, she went to visit Abhishek’s maternal grandmother in Bhopal for her 80th birthday and now she returns back to work. All we can say is that we’re glad she is healthy and fine and back to work

Remember how few days back, her illness raised some questions and rumors came up about Aishwarya having stomach tuberculosis and how it’s effecting her chances of getting pregnant. Well what a crap that was. Seriously..very shameful. But am glad that her hubby, Abhishek Bachchan and her father-in-law, actor Amitabh Bachchan stood with her in those times and showed the world who the real men are. They accused the tabloid for involving in such an irresponsible journalism. Remembering the song now “Stand By My Woman..”.

This is one audio launch the Tamil film industry was not going to forget very soon. After all, it’s not everyday that you get Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to release an audio album. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was the cynosure of all eyes at the audio launch of ‘Imayamum Sigaramum Rettaisuzhi’.

The “Bachchan bahu”, accompanied by her mother, attended the function with a white designer sari, and was showered praises by all dignitaries who spoke at the event. When the Tamil filmmaker requested her to release the album of his other production, Rettai Suzhi, she readily agreed.

R Parthiban even read out a poem in praise of Aishwarya. The audio was launched by Aishwarya, who gave the first copy to Vairamuthu. Two songs and trailer were screened for the full-house crowd, which, Aishwarya said, impressed her a lot. “I saw the trailer and songs and think that the film will be a complete entertainer for family watching. Shankar sir is a genius. I enjoyed working with him in ‘Jeans’ and in ‘Endhiran’ movie”.

The film is directed by Thamira, K Balachander’s protege. Aishwarya’s connection with the Tamil film industry started 12 years ago when she made her debut in Mani Ratnam’s Iruvar. She has also acted in a double role in Shankar’s Jeans. “In many ways, Jeans was the reason where I am now. It taught me a lot technically,” she said.

She has also acted in Rajeev Menon’s Kandu Kondein Kandu Kondein besides Mani Ratnam’s bilinguals Guru and the latest Ravan.

Shankar’s Enthiran in which she is paired opposite the Tamil super star is touted as the costliest film ever made in India.

Those who had attended the function include veterans Bharathiraja and Balachander, the lead actors of the film, director Thamira, music director Karthik Raja, Rama Nnarayanan, V C Guhanathan, Abhirami Ramanthan, Hansraj Saxena, directors Sasi, Lingusamy and Ameer.

It’s an old video but i love to watch it again and again. So here i am sharing it with you….

David Letterman, the famous TV talk show host, tried to make fun of Indian tradition at the time when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was invited on her show to be a guest. But how can our Aishwarya Rai let such thing go. She gets right into the argument and burned David Letterman with her quick witty but thoughtful answers.
What you would love is the punchline of this video:
David – Do you live with your parents in India?
Aishwarya – Yes I do.
David – Is it common in India for elder children to live with their parents (Audience laugh at this point)
Aishwarya – Its common in India to live with your parent.. Its also common in India that we don’t need to take appointments with our parents to meet for dinner. (Crowd stunned, shocked, silenced and then goes for an applause because they knew they were ashamed. Well done Ash)

I hope you liked watching how Aishwarya Rai owned David Letterman on his own show.

I think we have already mentioned “Aishwarya Rai” and King Paaji “Akshay Kumar” getting together for a movie once again. It’s for Vipul Shah’s movie named “Action Replay“. I guess the pair last teamed up nearly five years ago for the Raj Kumar Santoshi’s movie “Khakee” ( i hope i spelled that correctly). But i do remember that the pair’s on screen chemistry was amazing and caught the eye of many. So maybe it seems little disappointing that such a hit pair made it to big screen after five long years. Anyways, better late than never.

Now the film “Action Replay” directed by Vipul Shah has been given and based entirely on the 70’s background and look. It seems to be a new trend now. Movie makers going Retro way these days. The most significant factor of the film which is the fashion quotient has been totally hidden from the public so as to keep it exclusive and as a surprise for the public. The fashion designers that are Manish Malhotra for Aishwarya and Shabina Khan for Akshay have worked very hard for the entire films ensembles. The make up artiste Paul Pattison has specially been called for the exclusive touch. You might recall him for his amazing work in films like “Brave Heart” and “Mission Impossible 2″.

This movie “Action Replay” is believed to be a story about a man who travels backwards in time to the 70s when he was young and handsome. So for the sake of 1970′s, Aishwarya and Akshay have been seen sporting very different looks on the set of the movie and Aishwarya Rai, as usual looks extremely gorgeous!

I was able to get few pics on the net. However no official posters or teasers have been launched by the production house as on now. But you know how the media is. They managed to leak out few images already. So here they are:

Interesting Fact: While shooting for a Holi song sequence in the film, Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar and of course the director Vipul Shah decided against using the 70-80 tankers of water that would have been required for the shoot. “We decided to save the resource and send out the message that people should not waste water,” said Shah. I really wish that message gets through. Protecting this planet is a duty of everyone. Just do your bit and the world will change…Will change for better

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who doesn’t believe in forgive and forget, has backed out from a dance performance in an award function. Aishwarya Rai is an angry young lady nowadays. And she isn’t in the mood to forget or forgive the tabloid that recently published a report of her having pregnancy problems because of stomach tuberculosis. And i guess we all would agree with her decision. It was not something to be forgiven. So well done Aishwarya…

Sources reveal that the lady is boycotting the award ceremony because the function is associated with the mother company of that same tabloid magazine. The actress was reportedly offered a whopping Rs 85 lakhs for a dance performance. “Main nahi nachhungi (I won’t dance) no matter how strong the lure of lucre”. That’s the message Ash seems to be sending. Aishwarya, who rarely dances at events after her marriage, did agree to this particular function after a lot of consideration. But the moment she came to know that the particular tabloid was involved with the function, she backed out.

Ash is demanding an apology from the tabloid and the whole Bachchan parivar is with her, supporting this decision. She has even mailed the tabloid about the slanderous report and asked for an apology, Abhishek had blasted the daily on Twitter. Even Big B had lambasted the report asking the concerned people for due apology. But no apology has come from the tabloid till now.

It’s not nice to see Angry Aishwarya Rai because she is a doll and not meant to be angry young woman. But i guess the tabloid made a big mistake which they should have realized and apologized for. So hoping some minds at tabloid are mature enough to realize their mistake.
