There’s no dearth of the well-wishers of Aishwarya Rai. Just a few days back, when it was learnt that the actress is down with “flu-like symptoms”, rumour began to make rounds that it’s probably swine flu and her well-wishers sent her so many “speedy-recovery” messages that her cell phone crashed.

“But it was the common flu. For some bizarre reason, every body assumed that I already had swine-flu. Whoever started that rumour, it caused my phone crash. But, that was not true,” Aishwarya said at the launch of the Conquest Ceramic series of Longines watches in Hyderabad. She’s the brand ambassador of the Swiss watchmaker.

Speaking about the flu she had, Ash told the reporters: “I had the common-flu. I had fever and very bad chest-congestion. By the grace of God I'm here today and back to a very hectic schedule, so literally after four days’ rest.”

The actress was grateful to all her well wishers for the speedy-recovery messages.

“Please do convey my heart-felt thanks to all my well-wishers for all their messages. My phone crashed a couple of times because of the SMSes, I received. But, thank you all for your steady recovery messages and well-wishes,” she said.

Ash will now resume the shooting of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish with Hrithik Roshan and Mani Ratnam’s Raavan with Abhishek Bachchan and Vikram. After wrapping up the two films she will shoot three songs for Vipul Shah’s Action Replay with Akshay Kumar.

You must be wondering about whom we are talking, well, its a person whose name also starts with ‘S’ just like Katrina Kaif’s beau Salman Khan and without whom the lady can’t step out.

It’s a girl named Sandhya for the mademoiselle - a friend, confidante and her entire entourage. While other actors and actresses are accompanied with a group of people while they travel: a valet, bodyguard, agents and secretary; Kat has this super woman as her manager and thus, she needs no one else.

“Sandhya can fix everything from a switch in the house to organizing my daily affairs with super-efficiency,” the actress was quoted as saying.

You wouldn’t believe that even for a small conversation with an air hostess, Kat asks Sandhya. The angelic beauty is very much dependent on her as she takes care of every little thing and makes sure her Katrina is never alone.

Oh! She makes her complete.

Pokkiri was a money spinner in Tamil. Now the Hindi remake Wanted, starring Salman Khan and Ayesha Taika in lead roles, is ready for release. Prabhu Deva, who directed the Tamil version, has also directed the Hindi version.

Directing the Hindi version (the first Hindi film he has directed) was a difficult proposition, says Prabhu Deva. He felt that the pressure factor was more. "The expectations of these audiences are much higher and one have to cater to a wider range of cultures," revealed Prabhu Deva on his first big test in Hindi.

What or who was responsible for the delay in releasing Wanted? Prabhu said he did not want to blame anyone for the delay. Praising the lead pair, he said, "Keeping the tastes of Hindi audiences in mind, I made a lot of changes from the original in th song and comedy sequences. Directing a talented dancer like Ayesha and the cooperative Salman Khan made my job easier."
