I do want her back.. but lets be honest she gotta lose that weight first.

would love to see her in movies again

It is up to Aishwarya if she wants to come back. But it doesn't seems she is making a effort. She is struggeling with her weight. And hearing Abhishek saying thank you Aishwarya in every award show for taking care of the baby lol so I can work 😆 doesn't seems Aishwarya is coming back. It is sad because Aishwarya really had a career. She still had a couple of years at the top! But it seems like Aishwarya is with her baby the whole day. And making some ads in between.

I don't see any reason why a big deal is made of her comeback. Aishwarya was only popular as a beauty and later an internationally popular face. She wasn't popular or much of a crowd puller as an actress. I don't even think anyone remembers her films except HDDCS or Devdas or perhaps Dhoom 2 (her memorable films can be counted on fingertips).

She did several films in 2010 and all of them flopped except Robot.

She mostly did few films, fewer were hits, still fewer acclaimed. So question of audience wanting her comeback seems redundant considering audience never really saw or got much from her onscreen when she was working.

She never had the adoration of audience that was enjoyed by Sridevi, Hema Malini, Kajol, Madhuri.

As a beauty she's still around in those ad campaigns which she keeps doing intermittently.

Even if she comes back, I doubt how successful she might be considering her appeal lies solely in her looks and her looks aren't as luminous as they used to be.

She'll continue as a diva or an ageing beauty like Hema Malini but I doubt her getting any success as an actress. She's no Kajol or Sridevi. Sorry.

@Shaitan-Haiwan

When have I doubted her achievements? I precisely said what you said about Aishwarya being a popular face and celebrity. But all I said was that she never really had any pull as an actress.

As a celeb she's always around even now in form of ads and some appearances. She's a beauty, achiever as a celeb. But never the one to enjoy emotional connect or adoration with audiences and paying public as MD or Sridevi or Kajol.

If her movies mattered then she wouldn't have had so many flops. If someone like Kajol gives up movies after K3G stories of comebacks are understood. How does comeback matter if a person is popular mainly as a personality/beauty and her fame doesn't depend on movies? As a face and a celeb audience has enough of her till date thanks to media. Where'd she go?

Oh Ok I understand what you are saying.

It amazes me as well to see her flop record. Even though most of her movies are flops they are still widely seen and appreciated. Never really got that.

But I do think she has given some awesome performances like Chokar Bali, Raincoat, Guzarish...I would love for her to continue working in that kind of cinema. Really want her to explore her dark side as well. Theres so much she has not done.

I don't think her flops get widely seen or appreciated. Pardon me, but I've never seen films like Action Replay or Hum Kisise Kam Nahi or Dil Ka Rishta get appreciation or talked about. Chokher Bali - many haven't seen it. Raincoat and Guzarish aren't exactly everyone's cup of tea. And artsy/performance oriented films like those are what every actress had managed in her career, like Heaven On Earth for Preity, Black for Rani, Chameli for Kareena, Daman and Satta for Raveena Tandon.

I do not feel Aishwarya has anything substantial or unique to offer in her filmography.

Aishwarya has probably only left void in terms of a scintillating beauty. The void left by her isn't quite like the void left by a Madhuri or Hema Malini or Sridevi - whose appeal depended on films and who themselves also added a lot to their films (apart from just beauty or aura).

I am sorry to say but I don't find her of any significance as an actress and never got the curiosity to see her explore any other side to herself as an actress.

Topics like these make me wonder if we get too emotional or partial to past. In 90s people would lament loss of a Madhuri/Kajol to girls like Rani/Preity or beauties like Aishwarya/Sushmita. Aishwarya was considered an icon, beauty, achiever all her life but never an actress really. Now the talks of her comeback or her leaving a void sound odd.

It shows how we're getting worse in case of female actors. Anybody would pine for an Aishwarya and rate her talent higher seeing a Katrina Kaif now! I softened my stand on Preity Zinta after trying to tolerate Anushka Sharma's so called bubbly acts. 😆

As a celeb, a beauty and icon, Aishwarya will always be in public eye just as Hema Malini continues to be there even today (though all her films and TV shows flop except Baghban!) or there's Rekha who's forever in news even if she's not doing anything at all.
