IF LOOKS CAN KILL
Aishwarya Rai is quite a favourite of the fashion magazine Vogue. It seems yesterday only when we saw her on Vogue cuddled up with her handsome hubby Abhishek Bachchan for a sensuous cover. But it was seven months back and the actress is again hotting up the magazine with her drop-dead gorgeous looks.

If you liked her on the cover in black feathers, you will be awe-struck seeing her saucy in red for some stills of the photoshoot. She is all set to take your breath away.

The spread is also very special because it got five different men from Ash’s life to speak on her. Abhi says it was always perfect, “the minute we came together, we both knew that this was something for keeps. So, there wasn’t just this ‘one’ defining moment, it always felt perfect.”

Fans of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai can celebrate. The buzz is that Bollywood’s golden couple plans to appear onscreen together again.

And this time, it would be a romantic comedy by director Rajkumar Santoshi. Santoshi, whose last film was the Katrina-Ranbir starrer Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani, is reportedly planning the comic flick, titled Ladies and Gentlemen with Abhi and Ash.

If all goes well, the film would go on the floors in the second half of this year. This would be the first time the real life couple will try their hands at comedy together. After Mani Ratnam’s Raavan flopped miserably, the couple has been really careful about being cast together. But we learnt that the script narrated by Santoshi appealed to the two stars.

Micky Contractor’s signature line launch.

Holmes khabri says that it was Contractor who decked up Junior Mrs B for all her ads, including the ones for Loreal. So, she had to be by his side to encourage him on his big day. Clap!
But I’m told that Ash was falling all over her pati parmeshwar Abhishek Bachchan, giggling all evening. She was even pulling his cheeks and coochie-cooing with him at the do.

Next: she was seen getting too pally for comfort with director Tarun Mansukhani who worked with Abhishek on Dostana, and will work soon with him on Dostana 2. Guess, that was the reason that she was pulling his cheeks and unsteadying his hair too!

After getting part of the Bachchan clan, it seemed a little odd. But the way in which bahu Aishwarya Rai refused to work in the next movie of Vipul Shah. She simply said that she did not want to work opposite to her husband Abhishek Bachchan.

She has instead asked the filmmaker to cast her toughest competitor at present in the industry, Katrina Kaif, to work opposite to him. A source close to the development said that when Vipul spoke to Ash about the role she started thinking and then suggested that Katrina be cast instead of her.

This is not the first time though that such a stand has been taken by former beauty queen and a good actress. Earlier too she had refused to work opposite to Abhi during the flick, ‘Dostana’. Then came ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey’ and ‘Game’, where the same response was given and each time she came up with one or the other excuse.
