She became a supermodel from a single tv ad,won miss india,then miss world,became an actor,did a bunch of movies and acted in 2 or 3 of them....married Junior B,had a kid and now she is back,before her movie shoot begins,Aishwarya Rai sat down with us for an exclusive one on one.......
PP. Hey Ash,thanks for being with us today,it is such an honour to be in your presence........what we really wanna know first of all is,why did you take so long to come back??
AR. I think my mom in law overheard you saying Ash, so I would recommend you to not make eye contact with her and refused to drink anything she serves that isnt sealed, coming back to your question, I dt know why you call it a comeback,I mean where did I really go???I was always doing ads and making appearances here and there,yes, I didnt do movies coz I wanted to give motherhood time and enjoy my daughter's formative years but ive never really left.....
Side note-We did not touch anything with a Jaya Bacchan hologram, one of my assistants accidentally look Miss senior B in the eye and froze to a living corpse and yes she did leave,for a long long time,you can't go back to office after taking 2 month's break and say I never left.
PP. Did you miss the profession when you left,err, sorry paused or I dunno coma?
AR. Yes and no,you do miss the creative process of film making but I got to channel my creative juices into my mothering skills and that was equally or more satisfying.....
PP. Some people accused you of being ashamed of your pageant background as you never realy discuss it like say,Sushmita Sen does....
AR. That is completely untrue,I talk about my pageant experience fondly and vividly whenever I am asked about it.......its just by God's grace ive achieved so much more in life that people have a lot more curiosity out of me than just my previous title which dates back 20 years,november 19 this year marks 20th anniversary of my crowning,see?I knew that......
Side note- Poor Sush,whoz only legacy seems to be the title she won 20 years ago, we do agree with Aishwarya here, she has had a LOT to discuss in those 20 years...
PP. Thats amazing,are you planning some sort of celebration?Any fun memories during those days?
AR. Oh so many.......I was so young back then,I remmber meeting the late Nelson Mandela, my room, the fact that my gown ripped into pieces just before I left......such vivid memories and stories Aradhya is soon to listen to, as far as celebration goes,maybe ill have a small dinner with people that really helped me that time,like Hemant Trivedi and Pradeep Guha but I havnt really given it much of a thought honestly.
PP. A while back there were so many negative feedback regarding your weightgain and refusal to lose it immediately,now that we can see you are back to maybe pre-dhoom 2 size,how do you look back on all of those reports?
AR. I was shocked!!I couldn't believe the amount of pressure we put on women to look a certain way,it definitely woke me up on this issue and maybe I wouldve worked out and did something rigorous had these reports not come in but after they did,I tood myself,Aishwarya lose this weight like any other woman out there does on a daily basis, woman who doesnt have the kind of access to losing weight the way I would do,I owed it to everyone women out there who have gone through body criticism to show them that it is normal and it is also doable......
PP. Wow thats truly inspiring,as you know we are a pageant blog should we would like you to give aspiring young girls tips on achieving success....
AR. Be confident, that is so important,it just reflect even in the way you just sit in a corner,be yourself and dont be disheartened by failures,I mean,I lost to a gawky 18years oo
Ld nobody from out of nowhere(our jaws on the floor!!!!) But look what I made out of life and look what she.....err...umm...sorry got lil carried away.Just remember to be yourself and look at the big picture in life.
PP. Thats some sound advice,we wanna know if you still follow pageants and who's your favourite miss india and miss world lately?
AR. From the time I entered movies I didnt get much chance to follow pageants but I do enjoy watching them live when it is on. From the newer lot, I am such a fan of Priyanka Chopra and what she has achieved, I also liked Wenxia Yu of China, she seems like a very genuine girl.
PP. Ok that nice, what about this year's Miss india Koyal Rana?what do you think her chances are?
AR. Oh she's a sweetheart,so much innocence and sensuality in her eyes,I wish her all the luck in the world
Side note- that was Aishwarya in pageant mode,answering question without answering the question .
PP. Finally a message to your fans.....
AR. I love you all and thanks for all your support. Believe in yourself coz you aee all worth it.
Dunno bout her but last time I checked I was worth rs.5347 according to my bank statement.
Thats it ladies AR in the raw for y'all.........fact or fiction you decide......
