Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the beauty of bollywood, is one of those gals, who is naturally blessed with a thick crowning glory!
Almost every time, that the star has appeared in reel or real life, there have been speculations as to what her hair do would be.
Now, Aishwarya, who is from the southern part of India, is naturally blessed with her thick and beautiful stresses.
She has also almost made sure to appear in long hair dos. Her roles, most of the times, has seen her portraying a girl from the crux of Indian society, and her hair dos, which have almost been stuck to long and middle length, have always contributed to a large extent, in making her look the eternal beauty that she always is considered to be, by most film buffs!
However, as Ash is also the brand Ambassador for a very reputed hair color cosmetic brand, she has also tried out many shades of color in her films and in real life as well, and every time, she has emerged a true winner, wounding a lot of hearts with her killer looks.

In her latest film Raavan in Hindi and Raavanan in Tamil, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan plays Ragini, the wife of a police officer who is abducted.

It’s a role which involved working in tough terrain, heavy rains and amongst creatures of the jungle. In this interview, she speaks about her role, the challenges of working in a bilingual and her co-artists. Excerpts of a teleconference.

All about your character in Raavan and Raavanan
There has been a lot of talk that my character is based on a modern day Sita from “Ramayan”, which is not true. I think all the stories can be drawn parallel to our epics because at the end it is all about inter-personal relationship. My character Ragini is Mani’s perception of this strong willed woman abducted by Beera. And the story is about the dynamics between the three characters- Beera, Dev and Ragini.

They are becoming a habit with each other. The husband-wife duo of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan confess that they thoroughly enjoy working with each other.

Guru, Sarkar Raj and now Raavan… this couple has been having a field day working together. But the beauty of this combination is that they don’t carry their work home. When curious journos asked this superstar couple whether they discuss movies in the confines of their bedroom, the couple jointly said, “No, we leave our work behind in the studios. Home is our personal space… and we have a lot to talk about other than work.” They sound quite like Kajol and Ajay Devgn, another couple that revels in each other’s company at home. No shop talk there.

Now, if an actress is as beautiful as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, then there are bound to be flings. However, the actress has been very lucky, as she has been the star of all of her boyfriends eyes, some even having tiffs over her.
Take for example our macho star Salman Khan, the two that is, Salman and Aishwarya worked in a romantic film ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, and became the best of pals. Slowly, the friendship blossomed into the most romantic tale of all.
The pair was amongst the best that bollywood could ever boast of. However, as they say, all good things come to an end; this couple had to bear the brunt of their relationship, due to certain problems like over possessiveness. Thus, after a turbulent time with the couple breaking up, it was a sad end to a beautiful love story.
Just as Aishwarya was nursing her wounds of sorrow in private, came a young energetic guy in the form of Vivek Oberoi.
As the two worked together in films, the closeness grew. There was a fondness that developed between the couple which soon was on the verge of blossoming into love. But, an ugly episode, with Salman giving in numerable missed calls to vivek, and Vivek in turn calling a press conference to claim that Salman had threatened him, completely put off Miss Ash.
Thus, the relationship of Ash and Vivek ended abruptly as well.
After everyone was almost forgetting this nasty episode in the film industry, came good news. Ashwarya and Abhishek, who had worked in films like ‘Dhai Akshar Prem Ke’, Guru’etc, were to get married. This was quite a surprise to most, but it did happen and now, may the couple live happily ever after!

Heard this??Abhishek Bachchan, the handsome hunk of bollywood and husband of gorgeous Aishwarya Rai who wowed audiences with his acts in flicks like ‘Yuva’, ‘Dhoom’, ‘Guru’ etc, wants to increase his canvas and work in Hollywood flicks if scripts were engaging for his liking.

Abhishek Bachchan’s wife Aishwarya Rai has already acted in Hollywood movies like ‘Pink Panther’ and now hubby dear seems to be taking inspiration from her to go for an international audience through Hollywood flicks. However, Abhishek Bachchan, who is son of legendary Amitabh Bachchan, made it clear that he was not interested in doing bit roles in Hollywood flicks and instead would continue to dance around trees in bollywood flicks.

Abhi went a step further and predicted that the day was not far when Hollywood biggies would be doing roles (Arnold Schwarzenegger has already done in ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ starring Kareena and Akshay Kumar) and dancing in them along with forty other dancers.

She was crowned the most beautiful woman in the world, but only after her performance in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was she praised for her acting skills as well as her good looks.

Married into the first family of the Hindi film industry, she is looking forward to releases like Raavan and Guzaarish this year, besides endorsing Longines.

What are you reading at the moment?
These days I am only busy reading scripts and nothing else.

If you woke up and found you’d turned into a man, you would…
Well, my approach would definitely be no different than that of most women. I would be very shocked!

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the stunningly beautiful daughter-in-law of Amitabh Bachchan who sizzled in super duper hit flicks like ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’, ‘Dhoom’ , ‘Devdas’ and ‘Guru’ with the likes of Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan and Abhishek Bachchan, has been offered a talk show on television.

The offer has so much moolah and other benefits with it that Aishwarya is seriously considering it, and if her busy schedule permits the show will be on from next year. Her husband Abhishek Bachchan has already been signed for a game show ‘National Bingo Night’, which is going on air shortly.

Even, Amitabh Bachchan has been roped in by the channel to continue with the hosting of ‘Bigg Boss’ in its fourth season with a mind boggling amount. Big B had been paid Rs 1.5 crore per episode for the season three of Bigg Boss, and the remuneration for the fourth season has gone up even further.

Big news is that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is making a third film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali called Guzaarish after Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and
Devdas, and it stars Hrithik Roshan.

The actress, trapped in the dense forests of Kerala with husband Abhishek for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, took a call and spoke to BT about it. “We’ve evolved together, grown as individuals and artistes, we’re both similar — totally driven and passionate, the passion is mutually addictive, we don’t meet for months, but every time we meet — we pick up the threads effortlessly,” said Ash about her filmmaker friend.

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai is elated over bagging the main leads in two mega south Indian projects – Mani Ratnam’s Ravan and Shankar’s Endhiran.
“Shankar had approached me previously to work with him, but it never materialised. Finally, everything landed in place and here we are working together after 10 years,” said Aishwarya on the sets of Ravan.

Tamil superstar Rajinikant, who is playing the male lead in Endhiran, was also very keen to work with Aishwarya and had tried to sign her for his earlier ventures – Padaiyappa and Chandramukhi, but the actress could not spare the dates.

Speaking about Ratnam’s Ravan, in which she once again teams up with her husband Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya said: “I don’t want to reveal much about it. Working with Mani is always a delight. He is a man of perfection. I am lucky to act in his movies again and again.”

Verve’s undisputed power cover girl, India’s highest paid, most in-demand actor; international face of the country; recipient of a myriad film awards and the big daddy of them all, a Padma Shri, reminds me of a little girl on a Ferris wheel – spinning ever upwards, almost out of control in the frenzy of her life.

Today, she is closeted in her vanity van at N. D. Studio in Karjat with make-up artist, Ojas. She is busy putting on a face, which to me seems so unnecessary!

Earlier, fresh countenanced, tired-eyed but oh so beautiful, she had made flash decisions on gowns (no saris); colours (out with that dull mauve) and silhouettes. The world’s most beautiful woman (so says Julia Roberts!) standing there in black tights and silver-and-white tee, could have slipped into anything and looked like a million bucks.
