Ash loses it!

In the recent times, Aishwarya Rai's constant companion has been the weighing machine. First, she was asked to gain weight by Mani Ratnam for Guru. Now she has been asked to shed those same kilos for Dhoom 2 – that too in a record time of 10 days.
In fact, Ash's personal trainer Deepika Mehta has been rushed down from Mumbai to Namibia, where Dhoom 2 is shooting, in order to get the actress into shape.
Four months ago, when Ash went to Rio to shoot for Sanjay Gadhvi's Dhoom 2, she had been put through a rigorous training schedule under the guidance of Deepika. Subsequent to this she joined J P Dutta for Umrao Jaan and Mani Ratnam for Guru. "Mani sir had asked her to put on some extra kilos for her character in Guru to make her look convincing," says a source.
But when producer Aditya Chopra's keen eye spotted that extra adipose at the Namibia shoot, he was worried. "Adi was perturbed when he saw an overweight Ash in Namibia. He immediately called Ash's personal trainer Deepika and asked her to join the unit there," says a source.
With Deepika joining her now, Aishwarya wakes up at 4 in the morning every day and undergoes a two-hour workout regimen. After that she heads to the location for shooting. "She has been working 16 hours a day for the film and is exhausted by the end of the day," says a source.
The buzz is that Chopras want to project the actress in a sensuous way, and she might be even wearing a bikini for Dhoom 2. While on the slimming trip, Ash is also taking health tips from Hrithik Roshan. "Hrithik takes his looks and physique very seriously. The health tips that Ash is taking from Hrithik is already working wonders. Ash has lost 3 kilos in 10 days," says a source.
When contacted Aishwarya's business manager and spokesperson Hari Singh, confirmed the news. "Deepika is with Ash in Namibia. Ash is a very dedicated actress and she is working hard to get under the skin of her role. She will be back by the end of this month," he said.
