Action Replayy co-stars Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar are bonding big time these days. And why not? After all, both are splashing colours everywhere doing their bid to promote their film Action Replayy that hits theatres this Diwali.
Now, Aishwarya Rai, recently, showed up in ‘MasterChef India’ (the new cooking show on Star Plus) as a celebrity guest. And, Akshay being the host of the show took great care of her eventually, handling her a small gift. True to the show, Akshay presented her copy of a cook book. Akshay has, himself, compiled some of his recipes (Akshay, of course, was a chef before the Bollywood arch light sucked him in) and it also contains his famed Khiladi special sizzler.
Now that Ash has got herself a delicious looking cookery book, we wonder if she would try her hands with some new stuff. Experimenting, obviously, comes with a bit of risk and Abhishek must excuse her in case, she dishes him something unheard of, hitherto.

Aishwarya Rai is all set to ram into the theatres this season with two of her films ready for a release. First up is ‘Endhiran’ (Robot) which stars the South Indian God Rajnikanth. Endhiran is the costliest film ever made in India and relies heavily on gadgets and technology.
The film shall be unleashed on the last leg of September and is carrying the burden of heavy expectations. Apart from this bilingual flick, Aishwarya has ‘Action Replayy’ studded for a Diwali release. The film takes a walk into the 70s era and shall remind us of the painfully sweet good, old days evoking huge amount of nostalgia.
It stars Akshay Kumar in the male lead and is the biggie of this festive season. Given that both the films release around the festive occasions, there is a huge chance of a terrific box office response.
But will these films erase the agonising memories of Raavan debacle earlier this year? Aishwarya, at least, is bound to gain. The same can’t be said of Abhishek who is still reeling under the devastation caused by his ten headed avatar.

Salman Khan, the ‘Dabangg’ actor has, of late, become clever and skilful in dodging private questions that the tabloid so recklessly poses before the mega stars. Though, Aishwarya and Salman are pretty adept in avoiding each other, Salman Khan has finally unzipped his lips and spoken of his ex flame.
When quizzed about how he feels towards Aishwarya post marriage, he is blatant and candid as he cites, “I am very happy she is married to Abhishek. He is a great guy from a good family. The best thing I can want for her is that she leads a happy life.”
Will Aishwarya respond to this? I am sure Aishwarya isn’t that bold and laidback and would show the interviewer a furious glance before skipping the question and moving on.
Salman, by the way, is also being harassed by the media for his break up with his long time girlfriend Katrina. A seemingly annoyed Salman bursts forth, “There are so many other problems affecting people in the country, why is Salman-Katrina relationship national news? I am not giving any clarifications, the media can write whatever it wants.”
For more one-liners from the super cool and laidback Salman, turn into the theatres this Friday as ‘Dabangg’ releases. Munni badnaam hui….darrrling tere liye…. (ENSNN)

Is Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan advising hubby Abhishek against working with Katrina Kaif? The buzz seems to suggest as much.

Katrina’s refusal to do a role opposite Abhishek in The Italian Job apparently rubbed Ash the wrong way.
Rumours doing the rounds in B-town have it that Ash is discouraging Abhishek from working in Karan Johar’s Dostana 2 , which also stars Katrina.
The reason? Katrina’s walking out of Abbas-Mustan’s remake of The Italian Job hasn’t gone down well with the Bachchans.

The Bollywood remake stars Abhishek along with Neil Nitin Mukesh and Omi Vaidya in the lead.

It is believed that Katrina walked out of the project citing date problems.

Rumours, however, indicate that Katrina is reluctant to sign another film opposite Abhishek besides Dostana 2 , given the actor’s flop run in the box-office of late.

So far, Aishwarya Rai has served us one film named Raavan in 2010. The film, contrary to overwhelming speculations, fell flat on the box office lending her a rare flop. Critics slammed her for her screams and shrieks while Abhishek was anything but scary. However, Aishwarya scorched the Cannes Film Festival with her graceful presence as she flaunted a mix of Indian and western attires, lending the prestigious carpet a touch of modernity with a hint of classy ethics.
So, the report card of Ash can be presented as:

Aishwarya Rai was his past and Katrina Kaif is no longer his present. That’s Salman Khan for you- a man unlucky in love (as they say).
Salman painted the town red with his blistering romance with Miss World Aishwarya Rai nearly a decade back. So scorching was their romance that one couldn’t find a more hotter couple than the duo. In fact, Ash, too, was head over heels in love with him and shared her Tiffin with him on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’, the maiden and perhaps their final film together.
However, a public brawl with Vivek Oberoi meant that Ash went away from both their lives and has now nestled down with hubby Abhishek. Meanwhile, Salman found a soul mate in Katrina Kaif, the current princess of popcorn. Katrina, mentored by Salman, slowly peaked to mega stardom and currently stands at the zenith of Bollywood. But again, as destiny would have it, Salman has broken up with Katrina (over issues unknown) after years of courting.
Thus, love betrays the poor bloke once again and just when speculations had begun surrounding his marriage to Katrina, his love villa came crashing down and Salman Khan stumbles and falls- yet again………..

There were hundreds of stories floating on how cinematographer-cum-filmmaker Rajeev Menon, who made Kandukondein Kandukondein with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Tabu, and Sapne with Kajol, was supposedly doing an Abhimaan kind of a flick with Ash and hubby Abhishek.

It is now being rumoured that though Rajeev was in queue before filmmaker Mani Ratnam, who used the Ash-Abhi combo for Raavan, the superstar couple gave Mani preference over Rajeev.

But now it’s said that after the debacle of Raavan, the Rajeev film may not take off because the trade would much rather see Aishwarya romance other heroes, and Abhishek serenade Katrina or Kareena.

Three years after they married, Junior Bachchan and wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are still very much in love.

Asked how she knew Abhishek was ‘the one’, the former Miss World and actress says, “You know, it’s weird, but the moment we got together, it was a sense of coming home. Like I would have been surprised if we didn’t.”

Do they make compromises in their marriage? During an interview to a magazine, Abhishek said, “I don’t look upon any of it as compromise. The fact that she is in my life and I am married to her is of more importance and happiness to me than anything that I could possibly compromise on.” Adds Ash, “I think marriage takes for adjustment, not compromise, and it means doing all that you need to do to commit to your relationship. If there is anything that makes you feel like it’s a compromise, that means there is an area of discomfort, and that means there’s already something unsettling. But why talk of marriage and compromise? Life asks for adjustments and you do that. You are like water—you find your fit. You look upon life like that, why necessarily compartmentalise marriage?”

With the release of 2010’s two most talked about films-Rajneeti and Raavan, the cat is out of the bag as to who is the reigning queen of Bollywood- Aishwarya Rai or Katrina Kaif? Katrina Kaif’s Rajneeti has been one of the most acclaimed films of the year 2010 till now while Aishwarya Rai’s one day old Raavan is already facing the thrashings of the critics and the stabbings by the viewers.
Aishwarya’s ride on the ten headed monster was short lived as it was beheaded as soon as it came out of its dungeon since it failed to provide the other riders the topsy-turvy they were expecting. While Katrina’s political ride managed to swing over Abhishek’s sweetheart.
While Rajneeti portrayed the glamorous doll of Bollywood as a woman clad in sari and giving speech to win votes as her people, Raavan saw the stunning beauty queen as Ragini who is tortured by the goon Beera, beautifully displaying the battle which goes on between a woman’s heart and a wife’s mind.
