Aishwarya Rai Bachchan forced to take rest!

Madhur Bhandarkar’s “Heroine” with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Arjun Rampal in the main lead has been aborted after six days shooting at the Mehboob Studios, Bandra and Lata Bungalow, Andheri, Mumbai.

A source says, “The film was budgeted at a modest 15 cr…and the signing amount paid to the principal cast and crew plus the six days shooting expense is a complete washout”. Besides this Heroine was launched with fanfare at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2011. Obviously the entire travel,  lodging and PR expenses on this account are a loss too.

While the grapevine says that Madhur and UTV may still look at another heroine to be the heroine of this project, trade gurus aver that this is now a closed subject. A leading trade analyst says, Heroine is a jinxed project. First Kareena Kapoor opted out, now Ash has been forced to take a sabbatical on account of her pregnancy. Guess this film is not meant to be”.

In the meantime, Balaji Telefilms “The Dirty Pictures” that was supposed to be a direct competitor to UTV’s “Heroine” will in all likelihood fly solo. They have chosen 10 November 2011 as their release date.

Aish,Abhi first meeting!

Gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan sizzles on the cover page of Vogue magazine once again. She graces the cover page sporting a feather black outfit styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania. The specialty of this issue is that 10 men who know Aishwarya Rai Bachchan best speaks about her and their first interaction with the most beautiful woman.

Right from her husband Abhishek Bachchan to leading fashion designer Manish Malhotra to leading director Karan Johar to ace make-up artist Mickey Contractor, they all talk about their memorable first interaction with the former Miss World and many unknown facts about her.

Abhishek Bachchan on the first time he met Aishwarya- " The first time i met Aishwarya was in August 1997. I was on a recce for my father's film Mrityudata, in Switzerland and she was shooting her first film, Aur Pyar Ho Gaya, with my dear friend Bobby Deol. I remember one evening Bobby invited me over to his hotel for dinner and Aishwarya and the rest of the unit were there. That was the first time i actually met her, although i had obviously seen her before, since she has Miss World and all that. I don't remember the moment when i knew she was the one, actually which is weird, but it always just felt right. If you ask her, she will tell you the same thing- that the minute we came together, we both knew that this was something for keeps. So, there wasn't just this 'one' defining moment, it always felt perfect!"

Katrina Kaif doing comedy with Abhishek!

In Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Katrina Kaif showed her potential at doing comedy. Now, director Rajkumar Santoshi has roped her in for another laughathon.

This time, Katrina will be paired with Abhishek Bachchan. The duo first worked together in Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar years ago and never after that. Katrina says she was hoping to do an all-out romantic film with Abhi after Sarkar.

But Sanoshi penned the script for an all-out comedy. The director says he had Abhishek in mind while penning the script because, according to him, the actor has a “great comic potential” that still remains to be tapped. This would also be Santoshi’s first film with Abhishek.

So excited is Santoshi about this untitled comedy with Abhi that he’s put his other project Power, with Amitabh Bachchan, on the backburner.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is pregnant?

Rumors related to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have again started making the rounds. The rumors, this time, are related to her pregnancy not in India but in Dubai.

Abhi-Ash plan for two kids
Ash was recently set to fly to Dubai to do some important interviews but her visit was canceled on account of ill health, which sparked the rumor that Aishwarya is lastly in the family way.

“Unless it is a case of dodgy Indian curries that is slowly but surely emanating, the rumor mills are grinding to grist the possibility of a classic Aishwarya diva tantrum because she is pregnant,” a local newspaper in Dubai is reported to have printed.

Sources had informed the newspaper that Aishwarya was not well and hence had cancelled the said interviews. This is not the first time that the buzz about her pregnancy has reached us.

Aishwarya and Abhishek should have had a few babies by now, had we believed in all these gossips.

Abhishek wants two kids!

This is not the first time Abhishek Bachchan has revealed his desire to have two kids from his wife Aishwarya Rai. The last somewhat similar admission came almost a year back. Month after month has clocked by but there’s no sign of stork paying the couple a visit.

aishwarya rai abhishek bachchan

Now, in the September issue of GQ magazine, Abhishek says he’s not comfortable when asked when he and Ash would have kids. But he added that he would love to have two kids.

 

“I'll be happy with two kids. I mean, I have me and my sister, so maybe that's where it comes from. I feel these are blessings of God, and it should just happen as and when. You know, whenever it's meant to be. I am against the whole thing of "Let's plan it", you know, "We're trying for a baby." I find that a bit weird,” he candidly revealed.

 

The actor, who has also posed for the magazine’s cover, added that he finds questions about Ash’s possible pregnancy intrusive.


“I find it very intrusive. I really don't want to know when other people are having babies; why would you want to know when I'm having babies?” he said.

Abhishek-Aish’s a thanda jodi!

There were hundreds of stories floating on how cinematographer-cum-filmmaker Rajeev Menon, who made Kandukondein Kandukondein with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Tabu, and Sapne with Kajol, was supposedly doing an Abhimaan kind of a flick with Ash and hubby Abhishek.

It is now being rumoured that though Rajeev was in queue before filmmaker Mani Ratnam, who used the Ash-Abhi combo for Raavan, the superstar couple gave Mani preference over Rajeev.

 

But now it’s said that after the debacle of Raavan, the Rajeev film may not take off because the trade would much rather see Aishwarya romance other heroes, and Abhishek serenade Katrina or Kareena.

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai are the lead pair in Hindi, while Vikram will play the lead opposite Aishwarya in Tamil. Music is by Oscar winner A.R. Rahman.

Abhishek Bachchan dances with the girls!

It was the historic city of Udaipur that Abhishek Bachchan visited this week for National Bingo Night. Not only did he enter the stage to the popular Delhi 6 song Genda Phool, he also made a point to greet the studio audience and his viewers with a very chaste Rajasthani greeting, ‘Kesariya Baalam, padharo mharo des!’

Abhishek Bachchan

 

The first contestant on this week’s show is a tourist driver Rakesh Sharma, who’ll be playing for the grand prize of a Maruti SX4. Abhishek decides to add a little more excitement to his game by giving Rakesh three bonus balls worth a lakh each. Well, it was a little surprising when Rakesh actually went on to win two of those three lucky balls!

 

The next contestant manages to surprise Abhishek with a unique present. Jitendra Verma decided to surprise him by bringing some of his female friends on the stage, who were dressed in traditional Rajasthani outfits and performed a little folk dance number for AB Jr and the audience! Abhishek joins in the pretty girls trying to pick up a step or two.

Aishwarya Rai’s pregnant pause!

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been trying to become a mother for some time now. The fact that she has so far not gotten pregnant is actually a cause for concern for the entire Bachchan parivar.

Aishwarya-Rai


According to a close family friend, though outwardly the family may have taken the when-it-happens-it-will-happen stand, but within, there’s a very ardent desire to have an heir for the family as soon as possible.

Mr Bachchan is especially sold on a grandson, but when asked about it he says, as usual, “When it happens, it will happen.”

But the question that is really bothers the family and their close friends is - when? After all, it’s no secret that Aishwarya is 37, and she isn’t getting any younger.

But it now comes to light that the reason for her inability to bear a child at the moment is because she has been suffering from stomach tuberculosis for a while. Says a source, “The medication Aishwarya is taking for her stomach ailment is hampering her from getting pregnant. Until the tuberculosis is fully cured, she is unlikely to risk a pregnancy.”

On his blog, an anguished Amitabh Bachchan has written about ‘the rich man’s TB’, dispelling the myth that the disease only afflicts the less privileged. Now that the supposed reason for the delay in her pregnancy is clearer, we can only hope and pray that the Bachchan bahu speedily recovers from the ailment and fulfills her ardent desire to become a mother.

No baby for Aish and Abhi for next nine months

Rumours on Bachchan bahu Aishwarya Rai becoming a mommy very soon are doing the rounds of tinsel town. Some insiders also claim that Ash dearie is soon wrapping up all her assignments and is hitting home to start planning a family with hubby Abhishek.

Aishwarya rai,Abhishek bachchan

 

But looks like hubby dear, begs to differ, as he clears the air and puts an end to all the speculation by stating loud and clear that he is not going to be a ‘Paa’! Well at least, not in the coming nine months. Abhishek Bachchan said, “Playing father to my dad really taught me a lot about fatherhood, but let me assure you that for the next nine months I am definitely not becoming a father”.

 

Hmm…looks like the power couple of Bollywood is just too busy promoting their home production ‘Paa’.

Aishwarya depressed and breaks into tears

salman_aish_vivek_10_550x422

The Bachchan Bahu is upset these days and the reason being her two ex flames, Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi. Both being very unruly to her resurfacing their past relationship in public and in a way disrespecting her. Ash has dumped her past and happily moved on in life. But both Salman and Vivek started digging the past when she was happily married to Abhishek Bachchan and leading a blissful life. She was so depressed with the comments made by Vivek on Farah Khan’s chat show and Salman Khan in an interview that she broke into tears on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’.

Reportedly she just kept on saying - “I’m living my life the way I want. I wish others would do the same. Just let me be.” Vivek on Farah Khan’s show spoke at length as how Ash has spoiled his life and ruined his career. He added that he made the press conference about Salman Khan threatening him for the sake of Ash but instead of feeling grateful, he called his act as immature. He blamed Ash for the fall of his career.

Same is the case with Salman Khan, in an interview, he commented whether he has ever physically abused Ash at the time when he was dating her.

While Ash’s well wishers commented, “We feel what Mr Khan and Mr Oberoi are doing is very ungentlemanly. It’s unchivalrous to talk about any lady who has moved on to a new phase in her life. It is especially wrong when the lady is very happily married. Her life revolves around her two families now. What happened in the past is done and over with. Do these two men realise how much her career suffered? She lost so many films because of her past associations”.

Ash maintained silence on the comments made by the two but her tears spoke about her pain.
