Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Bollywood diva Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has hiked her price like never before. If Kareena Kapoor is available for Rs 7 crore than the Bachchan Bahurani is accessible for Rs 10 crore. Yes this is the price been offered to Aishwarya by producer Bobby Pushkarna of Page 3 fame.

Bobby wants to make a film resemblance to Jag Mundhra’s Provoked and wanted to cast only Ash. He wanted Aishwarya at any cost and so did not think twice to offer her the whopping amount. The filmmaker has been chasing Ash for the last few years and finally got to interact with her and discuss the film. It is known that Ash is going though the script.

News is also doing the rounds that if Ash declines that offer than the film would never see the light of the day. It would be shelved.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan  feels herself very fortunate being married to Abhishek Bachchan. She is quite happy the way her personal and professional life has been shaped up. Ash feels herself blessed to get married to Abhi.

“Life has been wonderful till now. It is not actually possible to pick one sweetest memory. I thank God immensely for the number of experiences that I have had through my career. Like this year, I was privileged to get the Padmashree. I feel I am blessed. However, I have to say that my marriage is my sweetest memory,” told the beautiful actress.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan feels that everything is going great in her life and she does not feel the need to change anything in life. The actress told, “Time flies. It is all about now for me. I always give my best to now and live it to the fullest- be it in front of the camera, work place or when I am at home with my loved ones. I feel what now all is about and not just sail through it. We lead very busy lives. Lifestyle is getting so hectic. But it is important to live in the present.”

Ash does not regret about her past or anything bad that happened in the present. She told, “I don’t believe in regrets. Life has definitely been a learning curve. Whether good or bad, it is important to live your experiences and learn from them.”

Aishwarya Rai on the sets of ACTION REPLAY

Filmmaker Vipul Shah says he is worried about his friendship with Aishwarya Rai who is working in his film “Action Replay” as people are making “systematic attempts to destroy” their relationship.

“Aishwarya is a very respectable professional. It hurts to see how her sheer hard work is ridiculed to build one spicy story by the media. She has been a soft target. And the sort of rumours rising now can damage my relationship with her. She has been my friend for a long time and I am afraid I will have a fallout with her,” Shah told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

“There are certain people who are making systematic attempts to destroy my relationship with Aishwarya. There are gossip mongers who are spreading baseless rumours that she has refused to dub for ‘Action Replay’ after seeing the rushes. But none of this is true,” he added.

Shah gives three reasons to prove that all the rumours are baseless.

“Firstly, when the shooting of the film has not been completed, where’s the question of the rushes and dubbing? Secondly, I haven’t even seen the ‘edit’ of the film. After the shoot completes, it will take at least two and a half months to put it in order for a final cut; so there is no need for dubbing at the moment.

“And lastly, ‘Action Replay’ is in sync sound, so dubbing is totally out of the question. Besides, I have been busy for ‘London Dreams’; Aishwarya has been busy shooting ‘Ravana’ and ‘Guzaarish’. She has been travelling a lot so we didn’t even have time to take ‘Action Replay’ forward. What is the logic behind these rumours then?” he added.

This apart, there were also rumours that Aishwarya had repeatedly rejected one of music composer Pritam Chakraborty’s song for the film. But Shah denies it.

“It was I who had rejected Pritam’s song thrice, not Aishwarya. The song was for her entry in the film and I wanted to crack a big song. I never allow my actors to my music recording studio – then from where have these rumours come out from?” he asked in an agitated tone.

Shah, who made hits like “Singh Is Kinng” and “Namastey London”, is yet to shoot the last leg of the movie, which also features actor Akshay Kumar and Neha Dhupia.

“The last schedule of the film is still pending. We have planned to shoot it in December or January. Currently I am doing the recce for the locations,” he said.

Aishwarya Rai & Vivek Oberoi

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Bachchan  is very upset these days because her past is coming back to haunt her.

Aishwarya Rai & Vivek Oberoi

For Vivek Oberoi, Aishwarya Rai is a past story whom he has totally forgotten. He admits that he has moved on in life. Vivek made this strong revelation in Farah Khan’s chat show, ‘Tere Mere Beech Mein’. When Farah Khan asked him, ‘Kya aap poori tarah se unhe bhoola chuke hain?, depressed Vivek replied that he has moved on in life.

Vivek had gone through many bad phases of his life personally and professionally, he had not only lost Aishwarya but his career also took a downward turn. Vivek bared his heart to Farah Khan and spoke at length about his broken relationship and shattered career.

Broken heart Vivek said, “Vivek bashing had become a trend,” and maintained, “I remember one day when I returned after my shoot and saw my mom crying. I asked ‘Kya hua’. She replied, ‘Till when will they keep hitting at my son. I’m a mother, I too feel bad!’ And then she added, ‘I am proud of you. Had it been anyone else by now, he would be in a mental hospital or taking drugs or become an alcoholic.’”
