Then: The Propah ladies

090911092555_aishwarya-rai-politician200Aishwarya Rai has somehow always dressed too old for her age. Even her attempts at trendy have failed miserably- jeans inside boots, mid- knee dresses, off- the- shoulder blouses. Cringe. Even her saris were too aunty for her age.

Aren’t we glad then that she is no more a red carpet embarrassment?

Bebo not only introduced size zero but also risque red carpet behaviour. Sporting, what looked like hickies on her back, getting beau Saif to tie up her back less blouse- along with some seriously fashionable clothes make her lead the red carpet race.

Rani Mukerji never got it right. A stylist’s nightmare, she mastered one hideous sari assault after another, also sticking mainly to blacks and reds. Trying to be sensual? We really can’t tell.

Amisha Patel till date does the in- between behenji and babe. That pout just looks bad.

SRK-Ash jodi back together!

SRK Ash jodi back togetherRemember, they parted on a sour note after her hasty departure from his home production Chalte Chalte six years ago.

She had already canned a portion of the film when Salman Khan reportedly landed on the sets… and, well, the rest as they say is history.

Post that scene, Shahrukh khan let Ash off the hook and took Rani Mukerji as his leading lady.

And, since then, many big banners including Yashraj and Dharma failed to reunite the pair that created such magic in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas.

Subsequently, though the Bollywood Badshah wasn’t invited to the Ash-Abhishek wedding, King Khan and wife Gauri posed with

Tthe Bachchans for the shutterbugs at the Drona premiere last year. And more recently, at Karan Johar’s birthday party on May 25, the two couples — SRK and Gauri, Ash and Abhi — spent quality time together.

Aishwarya Rai – Are Ash and SRK doing a film together?

Aishwarya Rai - Are Ash and SRK doing a film together

Sources say that Ash may star opposite SRK in sci-fi flick Ra 1, SRK’s home production or it could be a new film altogether. In Ra 1, SRK plays father to a teenage son and Ash could easily play a hot mamma. SRK and Ash had no qualms about working together until Salman Khan threw a fit on the sets of Chalte Chalte which resulted in Ash’s ouster from the film. The role then went to Rani Mukerji.

This created a rift between SRK and Ash and SRK and Salman. The latter made up a few years later at Farah’s sangeet ceremony to fight again at Katrina’s birthday bash last year. SRK and Ash made up at Karan Johar’s birthday bash earlier this year.

aishwarya20rai20is20down20but20still20not20outAishwarya Rai Bachchan might be all of 35 and is losing out on endorsement deals and positions to the likes of Kareena Kapoor and plastic actress gone lucky, Katrina Kaif, but she still is going strong in more ways that one.

Not just Ash, her contemporaries like Sushmita Sen, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta and Kajol too have been replaced by the likes of Kat, Bebo, Deepika Padukone, even Sonam Kapoor and Genelia D’Souza.

But Ash is doing better than her contemporaries.She may not be the face of Coca-Cola and Nakshatra diamond jewellery in India, but she still has successful and long-standing international endorsements.

She has completed nearly a decade of endorsing Swiss luxury watch brand Longines, international soap Lux and is the brand ambassador of global haircare brand L’Oreal since 2003. And unlike Shilpa Shetty and Preity Zinta who have moved.
