Serenely beautiful Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai has vowed to confront Anglo/Italian photographer Luigi Fanchini when she arrives at Athens’ Eleftherios Venizelos Airport later this week.
According to reliable sources in Mumbai, Luigi Fanchini, the man who famously tricked Aishwarya and Deepika Padukone into a full-frontal nude photo session, has declared he’ll be waiting at the airport, with his camera ready and loaded for her arrival.
“I take pictures of beautiful women”, he boasted yesterday in his thick Italian accent. OK, I prefer them with no clothes on. But beggars can’t be choosers. A man has to earn a living.”
Aishwarya is travelling to Greece to enjoy a well deserved holiday with her esteemed husband Abhishek Bachchan.
Last month, Luigi Fanchini tricked Ash and Deepika into doing a totally nude ‘Dance of The Spirits’ in a secluded temple deep in the forest outside Mumbai. What he didn’t tell them was that he was also in the ‘deserted’ temple – hidden with his camera behind a huge two-way mirror.
Photographs from that shoot are currently changing hands amongst private collectors for vast sums of money. One has even turned up on the internet as a trial Free Offer.
Aishwarya has now declared that if ever she sees Fanchini she will go straight up to him and do something with her knee that he’ll remember for the rest of his life.
If indeed he survives the confrontation.
Which is doubtful.
