Simone Sheffield, the international manager for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, announced Mar. 19 that she was terminating their business relationship effective immediately.

Sheffield did not cite any reason for the split on the record.

“Our time together, business wise, was as productive as possible,” said Sheffield. “I introduced her to the international market and wish her well.”

Over the 10 years that Sheffield has handled Rai Bachchan’s career in the U.S., the former Miss World has gone on to secure a lucrative promotional deal with L’Oreal cosmetics; appeared on “60 Minutes” and “The Oprah Winfrey Show” twice; and made the cover of Time magazine, as well as being listed among their 100 most influential people in entertainment.

Aishwarya Rai has had her most brilliant year yet; she’s even looked the part

The most delicious scene in Guzaarish was when Aishwarya Rai draws open the net curtains around a debilitated Hritik Roshan’s bed. Elbows out, she marched with an operatic grace only forgiven in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. This wasn’t Broadway, and she isn’t Anne Hathaway. But what may have been condemned as stage-y had it been another actor, was controlled exaggeration for Aishwarya, like a poetic hyperbole.

In Raavan, she looked ethereal, even ghost-like. She fell from a branch of a tree into a raging river in a manner more elegant than a qualified dancer’s moves. Her taandav with Abhishek Bachchan in the film was a visual feast. Yes, he is handsome and a tender performer, but who can get their gaze off the wife?

Both actresses are celebrity ambassadors for L’Oreal and it is said that an internationally acclaimed director will be brought in to shoot the commercials in Italy.

Aishwarya says that she has always admired Kate Winslet’s work and looks forward to working with the Titanic actress.

Some believe that this commercial will be the beginning of L’Oreal’s plans to move Aishwarya to a market targeted towards the over 30 demographic. This comes after the actress turned down an offer to endorse a skin lightening cream for beauty product company. Sonam Kapoor was then offered the part of brand ambassador instead.

Aishwarya’s working relationship with them began in 2003 and has appeared in commercials for L’Oreal products like shampoo, hair colour, lipstick and mascara. Many believe that she is versatile in her appearance, increasing her worldwide presence, thus the adverts have been dubbed into Italian and have been presented to the Mediterranean market.

Being the face of international cosmetic giant L’Oreal, Aishwarya Rai just loves to flaunt a range of breath-taking gowns at Cannes every year. But to walk the red carpet for her film Raavan on Monday, she will go for an all Indian look. Super excited? We too!

And who else than designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, who did her ‘Raavan’ outfits, to give the beautiful lady the traditional Indian look. As Aishwarya’s spokesperson tells an agency, “This time since ‘Raavan’ Red Carpet is also an occasion at Cannes, she planned to wear an Indian dress for the event. Her dress is designed by Sabyasachi.”

Yes, we all have been waiting for this to happen for so long. Aishwarya’s hideous parrot-green saree appearance at Cannes in the year 2003 is still fresh in the minds of many; fashion critics are still not ready to forgive her for that attire.

It didn’t take her long to become a L’Oreal girl. Freida Pinto’s instant rise to international fame and a cosmopolitan face made her the obvious choice for a L’Oreal beauty ambassador and soon she was in the league of international beauties like Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Aniston, Penelope Cruz and of course, Aishwarya Rai.

Freida is not doing any Bolly project as she is concentrating on her international profile, starting work on Woody Allen’s movie with Hollywood stars such as Naomi Watts, Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins. Conversely, the Bachchan bahu, Aishwarya, is still busy with lots of plush Bollywood projects; after all she owes her success to Hindi films. To date, each beauty has had her own stage to shine on, until now that is.

Slowly Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is losing her brand status. After kicking out of the Nakshatra jewelry deal, the former Miss World is unsure about the soap endorsement which she has been endorsing for a long time. Interestingly, the actress who is going to replace her from the soap brand is her old rival Katrina Kaif who has once snatched away the Nakshatra deal from her.

Buzz is that soon Kat is going to replace Ash. Though the deal is not yet confirmed, Katrina Kaif is taken into consideration. However Kat is denying her association with the brand, “It’s not true”, she said.

It is said that Aishwarya’s growing age and marital status are the reasons behind her fall. The question of Ash’s increasing age raised when L’Oreal signed Sonam Kapoor for the Indian face. The incident later followed up with Sonam debarred from walking with Ash at the Cannes red carpet.
