Aishwarya Rai is a fan of A. R. Rahman

A. R. Rahman recently won the Oscar award and he is now the top of town. Although, Slumdog Millionaire is a British movie but the main attraction was perhaps the music of A. R. Rahman from India. Except him, it is more less British film made by British actress and actors, directors and other technician. So, A. R. Rahman is getting a lot of media attention and Aishwarya Rai recently stated that she has always been a very big fan of A. R. Rahman. She also said that it was an honor for her to act in the movie that the music was composed by A. R. Rahman. I agree with Aishwarya Rai in this point because A. R. Rahman is indeed one of the best musicians that Bollywood movie has ever seen. In fact, in our old time, he is simply the best and he is the only person in Bollywood who could reach near to the international standard. As a result, not only he has got Oscar but he also earned a lot of fame for himself and for Bollywood.

Aishwarya Rai is not selective about actor

In April, it will be two years of marriage for Aishwarya Rai with Abhishek Bachchan and until now, perhaps it has been a couple like that did not create any undue media attention. It was stated at the beginning that Abhishek Bachchan did not have good relationship with her mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan but it seems that at least she doesn’t have any problem with her husband Abhishek. So, it is right to know for the fans that she is happy in her marriage life and she has been active in Bollywood movies too. Recently, some people may thought that she is not that much keen to act with other actors and she like to be in a movie more with her husband.

However, she has said very frankly that she doesn’t have any problem with any actor. Of course, it seems that she has been able to make some enemies in Bollywood. There is rumor that she may not be keen to act with Shahrukh Khan and you know that she has romantic history with Salman Khan. Vivek Oberoi is also another actor that is too much keen to be with her or she is not too much to act with Vivek Oberoi. A few days ago, Aishwarya Rai also turned away offer to be in an advertisement with Sonam Kapoor. So, it seems that the number of actors is becoming fewer and it is better she focuses more acting with her husband and this way she can gradually finish her career. Aishwarya Rai is getting old if you look at the Bollywood trend then you will see that no actress after the age of 40 could continue her popularity. The best example is Madhuri Dixit. I really belive that Madhuri is a much better actress than Aishwarya but at the age of 30 or 40 Madhuri Dixit tried to make a come back and failed.

Shrima Rai coming in Bollywood movie?

Do you know Shrima Rai? She recently won the title of Mrs India competition. I really can not understand what this competition is all about except that it is only for married woman. Well the Indian are very eager to copy and follow American in almost everything. So, there is no problem for me to see that there is a competition called Mrs India for married woman. As I stated earlier Shrima Rai won the title. She is the sister-in-law of the famous Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai. In fact, she is the wife of this Bollywood actress brother. So, she is part of the famous family. She recently gave an interview to Times of India in which she expressed her desire to come to Bollywood movies and she likes to work with ShahRukh Khan or Aamir Khan. I am sure that her being a part of Aishwarya Rai be a positive thing and if she tried then it will not be very difficult for her to get a roll in a movie. However, it will be very difficult to get any kind of success as the time for Bollywood is very bad. There is hardly any super hit move and I really lament for this matter.

Aishwarya Rai expecting child?

It is perhaps the most important question for Bollywood fans at this moment as there is no big super hit movie. It is really tragic for Bollywood fans to see that there is hardly anything going on and perhaps thing that debate discuss at this moment is whether Aishwarya Rai will have a baby or not in near future. When the indication is that she wants and she has talked about it recently in a TV interview. She stated that she and her husband discuss about it but they wanted child only when they are married for four years. Of course you know that she got married only two years ago in April 2007. I still remember that time because that time in another blog we used to cover a lot about it and thousands of people in India and other parts of the world were crazy to know about their marriage. I am not sure if the same amount of interest can be generated about the child of Aishwarya Rai.
