The story is that Ranbir first met the gorgeous actress a decade earlier when she was shooting for Rishi Kapoor’s Aa Ab Laut Chalen. Ranbir was assisting his father at that time. Being her ardent fan, Ranbir was completly star struck! As Rishi and Ash were busy discussing a shot, teenage Ranbir started making a quick sketch. Laterit was Rishi Kapoor who had impulsively pulled away his notepad and discovered that there was a sketch of Aishwariya!

Ranbir blushed while Ash narrated this incident to Abhishek at the premiere!

Aishwarya made up with Shah Rukh Khan at Karan Johar’s birthday party this year. Things went bitter between the two after SRK replaced Ash with Rani Mukherji in ‘Chalte Chalte’ in 2003.

Aishwarya, in keeping with her status as an international star, has made appearances at Cannes, has a statue at Madame Tussauds and has appeared on David Letterman’s Late Show and on Oprah Winfrey in the past.

This time her husband Abhishek kept her company as he had been invited on the show with her. They had flown to the States last week to shoot for an episode on Oprah.

In February 2007, she won over Oprah with a sari. Oprah had enthusiastically volunteered to be draped in the sari, which she found sensuous. We wonder if Aishwarya will remember it and wear a sensuous drape to her show this time.

Aishwarya had spoken about living at home and the importance of family and this year, she can re-emphasise family values as the first couple of Bollywood may have much to say about their wedded bliss.

This is Aishwarya’s way of proving she is more than just a gorgeous face. She is heading the marketing department and is the brain behind Paa’s stellar campaign, replete with those classy, international-looking posters. Paa is ABCL’s first Bollywood production in a long time and Aishwarya wants to ensure that they are back with a bang. They also produced a Marathi film which premiered at MAMI this year.

A source tells us, ‘Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is going all out to ensure that ABCL becomes a production house to reckon with. She has been meeting up with directors she has worked with and even those whose work she admires but hasn’t worked with as yet. Anurag Kashyap, R Balki, Sanjay Gadhvi, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ashutosh Gowariker who has met up with to discuss future projects. After meeting the directors, she discusses everything with her Maa and Paa (Jaya and Amitabh) who share their opinion with her. As far as the cast of the films is concerned, there is enough talent within the family to choose from.’

A recent report suggested that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was replaced by Madhuri Dixit as a judge on one of the reality shows because she demanded a huge fee. Aishwarya’s PR manager says that the report is absolutely false.

The actress had to refuse the show on account of her film commitment. She is presently busy with a schedule of Guzaarish, while Endhiran (Robot), Action Replayy and Ravaana are near completion thus the subject of remuneration was never discussed.

The proposal had come to Aishwarya through the Moranis and even Shiamak Davar tried to push her to do the show, but her dates could not be worked out.

Shiamak added, “I would love to have her as she is the best. We go back a long way. I have been her teacher and worked closely with her on Taal and numerous stage shows.

After Aishwarya’s giggles at various events and film sets became talk of the town, it’s Vidya Balan who is in news for the same reason these days.

Vidya has reportedly been conferred by a new nickname ‘Giggles’. While shooting for for Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Ishqiya’, Vidya apparently laughed so much on the sets that her co-star Arshad Warsi started calling her ‘Giggles’.

Confirming the news, Arshad said, “There’s a story behind this. Vidya laughs a lot and can’t control herself. She just goes on laughing like crazy. She doesn’t even need someone to crack a joke… she laughs JLT (just like that). Sometimes she used to crack up in the middle of a shot and then Naseeruddin and I had to wait till she finished… Man, that’s some talent she has! So we call her Giggles.”

No matter how much someone giggles, beating Ash in that category is quite impossible!
