Aishwarya Rai Unofficial

After wrapping up the shooting of his forthcoming venture Kites, Hrithik Roshan will begin shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s yet untitled next with Aishwarya Rai in coming 2009 summer. Hrithik we have learnt is super excited to do this not just because he will complete his hat-trick of working with Aish but because he has been genuinely floored by the script of the film and is eagerly looking forward to shooting for the film.

Hrithik simply can’t stop raving about Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the script that he written for his film and of course his role in it. This will be Hrithik’s first venture with the Black director. Hrithik has seen Bhansali’s earlier works and is keen to work with him. Bhansali is also looking forward to work with Hrithik as well. It is going to be a hat-trick for Bhansali as well as this will be his third venture with Aishwarya Rai after Devdas.

Bhansali was in Goa recently finalizing locales for the film. The film will be Bhansali’s directorial venture after Saawariya. Meanwhile Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next prodcution venture Chenab Gandhi is all set to go on floors in Mumbai very soon. Bhansali’s assistant Vibhu Puri will direct the film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan and Hurman S. Baweja.

Bhansali and his Black writer Bhavani Iyer have written the film. The plot revolves around three characters. It is learnt that Chenab Gandhi is inspired by the story of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, India’s freedom fighter who was known as the Frontier Gandhi. Bachchan will be playing the principle character in the film.

Aishwarya Rai’s sartorial sense has often come under the scanner to negative reviews. But recently she has been dazzling the world with fine designer wear that she has flaunted at the premieres of her latest movie- Pink Panther 2

Ash who has a 10- minute role in the movie starring Steve Martin, has looked stunning in her well cut gowns.

In Berlin, Ash was seen braving the chill in a pink dress with a heart-shaped sequined bodice hugging her slender frame.

And she didn’t just pose for the shutter bugs; she even took out time to talk about the film that’s sweeping all the awards Slumdog Millionaire.
“Good luck to the entire team. It has received so much appreciation of course based in India. There’s a lot of Indian talent in it. Rahman has won his Golden Globe and he’s a wonderfully talented musician. It’s wonderful to see the world wake up to his talent,” says Aishwarya.

Hubby Abhishek Bachchan was however naughty in his comments on Ash’ s new movie, “We were at the premiere of Pink Panther 2 and it was great fun. It s a hilarious film. Steve Martin is a genius. I am very jealous of Ash. He is someone I have been idolizing when I was growing up. And Ash gets the opportunity to work with the likes of Steve Martin and Jeremy Irons!”

Looks like the lady who is known to be the most beautiful women in the world is being recognized for more than just her hotness! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was recently awarded the highest civilian honor, the Padma Shri award for her contribution to the arts. Aishwariya Rai Bachchan received this honor on the Republic Day of India. Go Ash! With Aishwarya Rai Bachchan receiving the award, it brings the number up to five Padma Shris won by the Bachchan family. The first one was won by Amitabh Bachchan’s father the late Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Of course Amitabh Bachchan himself won the Padma Shri twice. Jaya Bachchan took one home too and now the legacy continues with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walking away with one.

Poor Abhishek Bachchan is the only one remaining who hasn’t won. Abhishek Bachchan was not present beside his wife when she received the award. He was shooting in Orcha near Jhansi, but he did send her a beautiful bouquet of flowers, as did her father-in-law. Aww… that’s so sweet! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was thrilled to get a Padma Shri. ‘The award is very special to the family and I’m humbled to receive such high honor from the country,’ Aishwarya Rai Bachchan told sources. Others who were honored with the Padma Shri were Akshay Kumar, Udit Narayan, Kumar Shanu, Penaz Masani, Helen, and Hridaynath Mangeshkar.

It’s pretty cool that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was able to carry on her family legacy but should her talent really be recognized? I mean she is a good actress but are there others who are more worthy of it? What do our readers think about her win? Do you think that she is worthy or do you think another Bollywood actress would have been a better recipient? Let us know what you think about the win.

Oh my gosh, some of Bollywood’s most well known celebrities took some time out of their busy schedules and lives to support an important medical event! We are of course referring to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her in laws Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan who were attendants at the inauguration of India’s largest and most recently built world class hospitals.

The Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and Medical Research Institute (KDAH) is a massive feat that is going to help countless people that reside in the area. The private hospital has over one hundred outpatient departments, about a hundred and fifteen intensive care units, and seven hundred and thirty beds. These are incredibly staggering numbers, a doctor at the new hospital told sources “The KDAH will not only help save time for patients travelling from far flung places in the suburbs, but also enable quicker treatment without a waiting list as is prevalent in some of the other big hospitals.”

With the addition of a research facility and medical services available twenty four hours a day, it seems like a great addition for the community. We are especially glad to see that the Bachchans made it out for the event. We are sure their support was greatly appreciated by the hospitals doctors and staff, as Amitabh Bachchan responded to KDAH ”I chose to be treated in several hospitals of the city, even though I could have gone abroad. I think our doctors are equally competent and I find this hospital as one of the best in world.”

We want to know who else is excited to hear about the new hospital? Do you think that it will make a difference in the community? And do you think it will reach needy people? Let us know all your thoughts about the new facility.
