So far, Aishwarya Rai has served us one film named Raavan in 2010. The film, contrary to overwhelming speculations, fell flat on the box office lending her a rare flop. Critics slammed her for her screams and shrieks while Abhishek was anything but scary. However, Aishwarya scorched the Cannes Film Festival with her graceful presence as she flaunted a mix of Indian and western attires, lending the prestigious carpet a touch of modernity with a hint of classy ethics.
So, the report card of Ash can be presented as:

In her career span Aishwarya Rai has tried out a variety of roles, looks and along with different co-stars. While her chemistry with some of them has been appreciated, others have fizzled out as soon as the films got released.
Here we bring three of her co-stars with whom she shared superb chemistry.
1) Aishwarya Rai-Salman Khan-there is extremely slim chance that this pair will team up once again (owing to their personal differences), but the chemistry that both of them shared in films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was mind-blowing.
2) Aishwarya Rai-Shahrukh Khan-They appeared as brother and sister in Josh and people wondered whether they will be romantically paired ever again.

The most tantalizing stars of B-town – Shahrukh khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who as are popular as popular can possibly be –were rumored to be paired together in a forth coming Yash Raj movie . However, no such confirmation has been issued from the Yash Raj camp.
Now there are reports suggesting that the two that is Shahrukh and Ash, are not to be cast in any film, least of all a Yash Raj film. So, for the time being, fans of both the stars have to wait for a significantly longer time to see both of them sharing screen space once again.
Both the stars have been cast together in ‘Josh’, ‘Mohabattein’’Devdas’, and an item song in ‘Shakti, the Power’. Even though in ‘Josh’, they were not cast opposite each other, they came as siblings, where Shahrukh was Ash’s elder brother; both of them performed wonderfully and were liked by the audiences full on.
Their next film ‘Mohabattein’ was a super hit, and they were paired together in the flick, even though their roles were quite short in it. While in ‘Devdas’ they created magic on screen. The audiences had loved the pair and have been craving to se them together ever since.

2010, hitherto, hasn’t been very successful for the Bollywood planet with most of the films biting the dust. Except for Shahrukh Khan’s ‘My Name is Khan’ and Aamir Khan’s ‘3 Idiots’, the response has been lukewarm and discouraging.
But, the summer promises to be hotter as two of the sexiest women gear up for a battle ahead.
1. Katrina Kaif- With the IPL fever set to die down, Bollywood’s next awaited release will feature glam doll Katrina Kaif in the most challenging and meatiest role of her career thus far. In ‘Rajneeti’ where she plays a woman politician (loosely based on Sonia Gandhi’s life), Katrina has an opportunity to showcase her acting mettle. For a change, she would be wearing a simple sari and not those itsy-bitsy clothes which have made her a perfect eye candy in a slew of hot films.
2. Aishwarya Rai- Don’t blame it on the climate, if the temperature becomes unbearably hot this summer. As after a long gap, Ash is set to invade the theatres with ‘Raavan’ where she plays Sita (a modern day take of the epic Ramayana). Besides, she will take us back down those beautiful memory lanes of the 70s in ‘Action Replayy’ opposite the sexy Akshay Kumar.
So, it was worth a wait. But, now the time has come for a screen war between the two glittering stars to fight for the crown. It’s experience v/s. experiment. It’s Aishwarya v/s. Katrina. Let the war begin……..

It wasn’t a simple interview but a candid tete-a-tete with India’s famous socialite and writer Shobha De for the third anniversary issue of the Hello magazine. And Aishwarya Rai seemed in a mood to bare her soul.

What exactly did she reveal? Well, the actress, who is now happily married to Abhishek Bachchan and is certainly in the best phase of her career, talked candidly for the first time about Shahrukh Khan and why they stopped doing films together.

As a tabloid comes up with the extracts of the interview, let’s read through:

It was the time when both SRK and Ash were offered Munnabhai MBBS, “When SRK decided he was not doing Munnabhai MBBS, they (Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani) did come to me and say (Sanjay) Dutt saab had agreed to do it.

Did you know the following facts about Bollywood Queen Aishwarya Rai:

1. Aishwarya may be nicknamed Ash by the legion of her fans. But her house nick name is Gullu.
2. She is a reasonable mimic and can mimic some of her close pals. Abhishek Bachchan, are you listening.
3. She lost oodles of pounds for ‘Dhoom 2’ which was apparent from her reed thin look. But, did you know that she put on lots of meat to get into the desirable shape for ‘Bride and Prejudice.’
4. Do you know who is the only high-profile actor to whom Ash has played a lover, sister as well as girlfriend. Well I reckon, you will guess this one. Still, those who are scratching their heads, I will tell the answer after a minute.
5. Her favourite classic film is Casablanca. Have you seen it?
6. Do you know what can scare her out of her mind? Cockroaches! Yak!
7. She will continue to live even after she dies as she has donated her blue-green eyes to Eye Bank Association of India. Now, Angelina Jolie isn’t the only one who indulges in philanthropy.

Sushmita Sen will appear in an item number in Sajid Khan’s film, Housefull, dancing to the remixed version of the famous song ‘Apni Toh Jaise Taisi’.

Confirmation of Sushmita’s appearance in the song – first made famous by Amitabh Bachchan in the 1981 blockbuster Lawaaris – puts persistent rumours of Aishwarya Rai’s appearance in the Housefull item number to rest.

While Aishwarya Rai was indeed approached to appear in the song, sources say she has turned the offer down, allegedly due to the link the song has with her father-in-law. She is also currently busy with a filming schedule including Guzaarish, Action Replay and Endhiran. Had Aish agreed, it would have been only her third item number appearance, following ‘Ishq Kamina’ (with Shahrukh Khan in the film Shakti – The Power) and ‘Kajra Re’ (with Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan in the film Bunty Aur Babli).

ONCE THEY had good innings in Bollywood. They were young. They were never actresses but stars. But age caught up with them.

Refusing to give up on Bollywood, although it has given up on them, they try gimmicks to stick on.

Instead of growing up (mentally) and moving on, they simply will remain here by hook or crook. They refuse to hang their boots and welcome the next phase whatever it may be.

With their fewer or non-existent films, they resort to gimmicks to be in limelight. The current trend is to hit the networking circuit hard and be on page three.

This does make news if not careers. Socialising has its own fringe benefits.

Their movies fail big time. Now with hardly anything on their platter, is it anything surprising to find them becoming socialites and on the networking sites.
