Dark, heavy dresses; stark red lipstick. Braided hair, piled into an olde worlde bun. Fuller cheeks and a serious expression. The Aishwarya Rai Bachchan of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish is a stark contrast to the Indian beauty of Raavan and the feisty retro babe of Action

“My look is very important to me in every film,” says the actor, confessing that she would hate to look like the same person in every role. “Right from the beginning I try to have a certain ‘look’ – it defines the film and it defines the character. It’s the first thing a person sees and it says a lot about the character.”

Ash says she discusses the character’s persona with the director and then they approach stylists and designers and work closely with them. “Movies give me an opportunity to play a different woman each time, so why not?” she laughs.

That’s the question on everyone’s mind after watching the promo of ‘No One Killed Jessica’.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan received flak from the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) who has taken to moral policing. The party has objected to the posters on BEST buses of her new film ‘Guzaarish’, which showcased her smoking a cigarette.

Interestingly, Rani Mukherjee is seen smoking in the promo of her forthcoming film ‘No One Killed Jessica’. The promos of the film released yesterday. Apparently Rani, who plays a journalist in the film that’s based on Jessica Lal murder case, has been shown in a completely different light.

Rani smokes and abuses in the film on which MNS might take an action. When we asked director Rajkumar Gupta if he foresees the promo creating trouble for Rani or his film, he said, “Yes Rani’s smoking scenes are there in the promo. But I don’t think Censor should have problem as they have certain categories, where they see in what context the element has been used. The promo is just out and I have been receiving good reactions from people.”
