Aishwarya Rai
Aishwarya Rai is enjoying motherhood to the hilt and is in no hurry to sign films. Gone were the days when married actresses were a big no no for filmmakers. Aishwarya Rai has redefined the role of actresses in the industry. After being married to Abhishek Bachchan, she was very much at the center of Bollywood and was in demand by commercial and art filmmakers.
Bollywood considers actresses in their late twenties as old. But Aishwarya Rai is never short of work even when she is in her mid and late thirties. A source says, “Filmmakers are still sending her their scripts knowing very well that Aishwarya’s too busy being a mum to read them at the moment. But they are still hoping that their scripts will be considered whenever the actor is ready to sign films and continue to drop by scripts at her Juhu residence.”
Now Aishwarya Rai has given birth to a baby girl and still she is being pursued by the producers to work in their movies. But Aishwarya Rai has gone into self imposed exile since her pregnancy. Aishwarya Rai is rarely seen at Bollywood functions and hardly steps out of her home except some can’t avoid family functions.
Aishwarya Rai has just made an exception for talk show queen Oprah Winfrey. Oprah Winfrey was in Mumbai recently and she visited Bachchan’s residence to meet Abhishek and Aishwarya’s daughetr. A source says, “Attending the recent bash hosted by Parmeshwar Godrej for Oprah Winfrey was a rare exception though. That’s because Oprah is a dear friend and she had personally invited her over to India when she was the guest on her show twice,” says a source. “So, Oprah kept her promise by dropping by the Bachchan residence on her visit here and Ash was more than happy to host her.”
Bollywood filmmakers are offering Aishwarya Rai roles with husband Abhishek Bachchn in a hope that Aishwarya will relent. But right now Aishwarya Rai wants to spend time with her newborn daughter and not taking up any offer of films. Another source says, “Aishwarya’s a completely hands-on-mum and is totally enjoying this phase of her life and doesn’t want to be distracted by work at all. Her return will depend on whenever she feels comfortable, but we don’t think anything immediately is on the cards yet.”
