Aishwarya Rai has nothing to do with the upcoming Bollywood movie Lamhaa. Sanjay Dutt and Bipasha Basu are the two leading characters of the movie. Just Rai’s name was uttered in a dialogue and Sanjay Dutt had to take the clearance from Amitabh Bachchan about the promo of the movie.
There is no hide and seek about the matter that Amitabh Bachchan is very sensitive about his daughter-in-law. The Bachchans were very unhappy with the kissing scene between Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2.
Anyway, Lamhaa does not contain anything bad about Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter in law. Just, according to Times of India, there is a dialogue like this:
“When Aishwarya Rai is unable to see the moon it makes news. But why doesn’t the media report the plight of those thousands of Kashmiri wives who haven’t seen their husbands for years?”

Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Bachchan performed to live music in Guzaarish

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known to love the bygone era. Be it the old-world charm that Aishwarya Bachchan portrayed in Devdas or Sonam Kapoor’s adaas in Saawariya, Bhansali has always made his love for the past very evident.

The filmmaker has once again got in touch with filmmaking as it was in the 1930s and 1940s in the Hrithik Roshan-Aishwarya Bachchan starrer Guzaarish. After getting Hrithik Roshan to play a wheelchair-bound paraplegic in Guzaarish, Bhansali has taken a step further, or shall we say backward, to choreograph several songs in the film. The director got Hrithik and Aishwarya to groove to live music with choreographer Pony Verma.

It’s hard to believe but the latest buzz doing rounds in the B-town suggests of a supposed patch up between Abhishek Bachchan and Salman Khan. Grapevine has it that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s hubby Abhishek and her ex-lover Salman have apparently put an end to their animosity, as Abhi was recently found supporting Sallu on a social networking site.

Jr Bachchan and Sallu have not been on talking terms because of Ash, who was dating Salman before tying the knot with Abhishek, and the actress’ love relationship with Khan was a much-hyped affair in itself.

However, according to the latest buzz, Abhishek seems to be in a mood to bury the hatchet with the macho guy, as he stood up for Salman on a social networking platform when a misinformed journo attacked the latter for doing a hosiery advertisement.
