Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan: Got ‘Power Couple’ Title

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan: Got ‘Power Couple’ Title: Bollywood’s golden couple Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan have been bestowed with the recognition of ‘Power Couple’ by the esteemed Stardust magazine. The mega stars got the title recently at the launch of the latest issue of Stardust in Delhi. Abhishek and Aishwarya graced the occasion as they lifted the veil off to reveal their own photos as the cover page.

Abhishek and Aishwarya tied the nuptial knot around 4 years back on 20th April, 2007. Since then, the two have had an amazing off-screen chemistry and they always look head over heels in love with each other whenever they are spotted together.

The couple is hugely popular amidst the Bollywood movie lovers. They are big stars and have carved out a niche for themselves in the film industry. Aishwarya Rai leapt into fame after winning the Miss World pageant in 1994. Since then there has been no looking back as she climbed the ladders of fame via her big ticket to the B-town.

Abhishek Bachchan made his Bollywood debut some 10 years back with Refugee. But over the years, he and Aishwarya have starred in a plethora of films. Though the two look spectacular together off-screen, it is ironic that their on-screen chemistry has been mostly ‘thanda’ (cold).

However, in Mani Ratnam’s Guru they, indeed, looked fabulous together and the camaraderie was extremely great. Abhishek and Aishwarya add star value to the Bachchan family that is led by Amitabh Bachchan considered as one of the greatest actors of all times.

Money, popularity, a sea of fan following, films, endorsements, good looks and repute, they have got it all. Hence, it’s no doubt that Abhi-Ash do deserve the ‘Power Couple’ title.

Shahrukh Khan-Aishwarya Rai spotted sharing light moment

Shahrukh Khan-Aishwarya Rai spotted sharing light moment: Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai were spotted sharing a light moment at the Filmfare nomination bash in Mumbai recently.

Shahrukh and Ash have had a chequered working relationship. Years ago, the duo who sparked a matchless chemistry in Devdas fell out after Ash’s relationship woes with Salman Khan spilled over on the sets of the movie Chalte Chalte, following which Ash was dropped from the project and SRK vowed never to work with her again.

The freeze between them slowly thawed over the years but there have always been whispers of a lingering friction between the two. But at the nomination bash of Filmfare Awards, SRK and Ash were spotted without their respective spouses. There was no awkwardness between them. Rather, they shared a light moment, with SRK cracking his usual humour.

Aishwarya Rai wants to make pair of Katrina with Abhishek?

Aishwarya Rai wants to make pair of Katrina with Abhishek?: Aishwarya Rai has become rather choosy in signing roles that pitch her alongside hubby Abhishek Bachchan.

May be it’s a lesson hard learnt after the super debacle of Raavan, but Ash is wary of another professional faux pas and that’s quite evident from the buzz that she’s turned down director Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s next film that would have paired her with hubby Abhi. Rather, we hear that she’s recommended that Shah should go ahead and sign Katrina Kaif for the film.

Ash isn’t in a rush to sign new projects with Abhi until and unless the project is unique and creatively satisfying enough to lure her into signing on the dotted line. And this is not the first role with Abhi that Ash has turned down.

She first declined to do Dostana opposite him and also turned down Abhinav Deo’s Game with hubby dear.

Aishwarya Rai pached up with Aamir Khan after many years

Aishwarya Rai pached up with Aamir Khan after many years: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has always maintained a respectable relationship with megastar Amitabh Bachchan but the same cannot be said with ‘Bachchan bahu’ Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

The face-off started when Ash abandoned Aamir Khan’s project Mangal Pandey at the last minute. At that time, Aamir called up his good friend Rani Mukerjee, who finally appeared in the film.

However, they finally patched up after so many years and that happened at the 10th wedding anniversary of Akshay Kumar and his wife Twinkle. Ash and Aamir had a cold war, since these years but now they have settled the issues.

Usually, Ash does not stay in any party for more than 10 minutes but when she came to know that Aamir and Kiran Rao are on their way, the beauty queen waited for them to reach the party. When the couple reached the party, Ash went forward and bonded with the actor like never before. They spoke warmly and discussed about Kiran’s upcoming movie Dhobi Ghat. After spending some time together, Aamir had to leave early. Soon after his exit, Ash also left the party.

A source from the party revealed that both were seen very comfortable with each other and it seemed that they have forgotten the bitter past and planned to move ahead with good will of each other.

Now, when the dup has settled their issues, can we expect any joint project in near future?

Amitabh-Abhishek-Aishwarya Rai enjoying London chill: Just yesterday we reported about Abhishek being alone in Europe while Ash was seen with her pa-in-law Amitabh Bachchan at the award functions over the last week. Well, now the family has come together again in London, as this pic shows.

Guess the trio’s stay in London is turning out to be quite eventful.

Abhishek-Aishwarya together next in a romantic comedy

Cinemimi [Wednesday, January 19, 2011]
Soon the super real-reel jodi will grace the screens again! And the one who is gonna bring together Abhishek Bachchan and his beautiful wife Aishwarya again is the filmmaker Raj Kumar Santoshi!

Titled ‘Ladies and Gentleman’, the film is said to be a romantic comedy and expected to go on the floors sometime in this year. This project however has come in the wake of Santoshi’s multi-starrer project ‘Power’. Since the film is put on hold due to some problems, the director decided to go ahead with Abhishek-Aishwarya’s film instead.

While Abhishek said to have confirmed for the project, nothing is finalised from Aishwarya’s side. If this film happens, then one can see the hot pair for the first time in a rom-com – given the fact they have acted together in seven movies……

Aishwarya Rai at Zee Cine Awards: i missed my family a lot

Aishwarya Rai at Zee Cine Awards: i missed my family a lot : The tired eyes said it all. Actress Aishwarya Rai (that’s the way she signed the autographs) admitted that she’s been unwell and missed her family around her.

“Yes, I am not well at all. I am here to honour a commitment that I made. I always live up to my commitments. I am on antibiotics now,” says Rai-Bachchan moments after her performance at the Zee Cine Awards on Friday evening.

Rai-Bachchan says that in stressful moments like these, the one thing that she misses around her is her family — specially her Pa (Amitabh Bachchan) and husband Abhishek.

“They are in two different locations. Pa is shooting at a location outside Mumbai and Abhishek is in Italy. It would have been great had they been around me. I am definitely missing them. I so wish that they were here to watch me win this award (the Jury’s Choice for the film Guzaarish). It’s a first and I so hoped that they would have been around. But I’m sure they must’ve got to know about it by now,” smiles Rai-Bachchan.

The actress does not mind the interruptions by fans who’ve been waiting for hours to get her autograph or a picture, and indulges them. “It’s the love and affection of fans in moments like these that make all the effort seem worthy. I’m aware thatthey wait to see me, and so small things (like being unwell) don’t matter in times like these,” she explains.

Her recent film Guzaarish, which failed to make an impact at the box-office, is faring well when it comes to winning awards. But Aishwarya is quick to point out that she does not mind thebox-office results of a film if she’s satisfied as an actress.

“My character in Guzaarish was multi-layered. Some people have appreciated it and I’ve been awarded for it. Besides, Sanjay (Leela Bhansali) has given me some of the biggest milestones of my career like Devdas and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. He is a director who’s never lost his faith in me. And I want to say that Guzaarish is one of the best gifts that he has given me. The rest of it doesn’t matter as I got to play someone who I’ve been waiting to play for a long time,” says the actress.

Aishwarya Rai busy in new year performance

Aishwarya Rai busy in new year performance: Aishwarya Rai has started her new year on a busy note. She was seen performing at Star Screen Awards recently and will also perform at Zee Cine Awards, which are going to be held in Singapore.

We know she is a terrific dancer and we also know she had almost stopped performing at awards functions. People still remember her sterling performance at IIFA Awards 2007 along with her sasur ji Amitabh Bachchan and pati Abhishek Bachchan, but after that Ash has hardly performed at any awards functions. But this year she is more into dancing, attending public events, and that’s keeping the lady busy at the start of the year.

Wondering, is this also because of the fact that she doesn’t have a single release in 2011! Last year she was tied up with her four films and therefore kept away from the media.

It’s also reported that she is not in the pink of her health and had a viral attack but managed to wrap up a tiring five-hour photo-shoot with Abhishek for a Valentine special edition, and even attended the Apsara Awards that day where she was given the Excellence Award.

Aishwarya Rai refuses dance with Shahrukh Khan

Aishwarya Rai refuses dance with Shahrukh Khan: Last week, Aishwarya did the unthinkable. At an awards function she refused to dance with SRK to Kajra Re. Says an eyewitness, "Shah Rukh had planned a gig around Bollywood heroines over the years and he wanted it to conclude with Aishwarya's performance.

He had planned to dance with her to Kajra Re. But Ash refused. Her argument was that Kajre re was a family song and that she performed the number in Bunty aur Babli only with her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan and husband Abhishek and that she will not dance to that song with anyone else.

No amount of persuasion from the organisers helped her change her mind. Finally, Shah Rukh had to scrap this plan."

In the past Aishwarya has never been intimidated by any of the three Khans, even if it meant heavy professional losses for her. When she turned down Mangal Pandey, Aamir Khan apparently stopped all communication with her. Thereafter, the only time Ash shared screen space with him was for a fleeting cameo in Dharmesh Darshan's Mela.

Her experience with Salman of course was another story. Ash sent out a press release in 2003 stating she would never work with him again. The release stated, "For the sake of my well-being, sanity, my dignity and the self-respect of my family, I will not work with Salman Khan anymore.

I maintained a dignified silence but he attacked the dignity of my family and me with irresponsible rumour mongering. I stood by him, enduring alcoholism, misbehaviour, and in turn I was at the receiving end of abuse, infidelity and indignity."

With Shah Rukh, Aishwarya's rapport can at best be described as chequered. During Devdas they bonded superbly. But later, Ash was ousted from Chalte Chalte and replaced by Rani Mukerjee after Salman disrupted the first schedule of the film.

Over the years, SRK and Ash were beginning to share a comfort level. But after the latest episode, one wonders if the Devdas duo will ever see eye to eye again.

Aishwarya Rai still as brand ambassador of 'L'Oreal'

Aishwarya Rai still as brand ambassador of 'L'Oreal': Officials of cosmetic firm L'Oreal Paris have denied reports that Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai has been replaced by Freida Pinto as the new brand ambassador.

Reports of Frieda replacing Aishwarya came up after the Slumdog Millionaire star featured in L'Oreal's 'Happy New Year' television commercial.

"We are shocked and surprised to read in some sections of the media/press about Ms. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan being replaced as the face of L'Oreal Paris," said an official statement from the firm.

"L'Oreal Paris strongly reiterates that this is absolutely untrue and that Ms. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan continues to be our valued spokesperson, as she has since 2000. While she remains an integral part of the L'Oreal Paris world wide Dream Team, she was unfortunately unavailable for our New Year commercial shoot due to prior commitments.

"She is one of the most iconic women of our times and is certainly the face of L'Oreal Paris internationally and in India for a range of products which include campaigns for Total Repair 5, Excellence Crème, Color Riche, Hydrafresh," the statement added.

Aishwarya Rai replaced over Freida Pinto for L'Oreal Advertisement

Aishwarya Rai replaced over Freida Pinto for L'Oreal Advertisement: She's famed as one of the most attractive women in the world - but Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is having to make way for equally stunning but younger model Freida Pinto as the Indian face of L'Oreal.

The Bollywood beauties have been pitched against each other after Slumdog Millionaire star Freida, 26, featured in the cosmetic firm's 'Happy New Year' television commercial with the brand's other global ambassadors - but not Aishwarya.

According to India Today, Former Miss World Bachchan, 37, has been permanently replaced by the younger model.

But a spokesperson for the Aishwarya told newspaper India Today: 'I don't know anything about it. We need to check out the details.

'Ash is busy with her upcoming performance at an awards function, so she can't speak on this issue right away.'

The model-turned-actress has been representing the brand since 2005, while Pinto joined in 2009.

It's not been a good few months for Aishwarya.

The Indian press have been criticising her for apparently putting on weight and she is said to be considering suing Elle magazine after they allegedly lightened her skin colour for their December issue cover shoot.

The actress herself has not commented on the situation, but friends of the Bride and Prejudice star have said she is 'furious'.

Freida's career meanwhile is going from strength to strength since appearing as a relative unknown in Danny Boyle's Slumdog - which also landed the beauty her co-star Dev Patel as a boyfriend.

She stars in forthcoming summer blockbuster Caeser: Rise Of The Apes alongside John Lithgow, James Franco and Andy Serkis.

She's also currently filming fantasy action movie Immortals with Mickey Rourke, which is due out in the autumn.
