Off topic : I found aish really arrogant in KWK!

As for sush! I used to really like her but I think lara is a lot better with her interviews- she is witty yet not offensive to any one.
Sush; I really like how she speaks and I do find her classy how ever I think she is a little too obsessed with herself and yeah I noticed how she was interrupting a little too much! But still I feel she is better than many

Koiza,
Aishwarya and Katrina are a lot alike, when it comes to handling interviews / off-screen appearances!
They are both cagey and defensive and uncomfortable discussing or even hearing anything about their personal lives.
Which is why the moment any interviewer questions them about their personal lives or about anything not related to their work, they clam up or start sounding arrogant in trying to defend themselves.
Also, KJo is quite manipulative and selective as a host...he goes out of his way to make his 'friends' feel comfortable and at ease on his show and goes all out to put-down and tease people who are not part of his inner circle. Very few actors can handle an interviewer like him, without getting intimidated or overwhelmed or coming across as a fool!
Aishwarya is not one of them...she has never been able to handle the media well.
Unlike Sushmita, who is gifted with excellent conversational skills and hence manages to look more affable, intelligent and charming. (But you can still see through the fakeness, somehow!) Not saying that Ash is all genuine and an angel...but just that her social skills are pretty poor in comparison to someone like Sushmita.

that's so true! you summed it up pretty well
I guess Katrina is socially awkward- she gets uncomfortable and it shows- aish still can deal better due to more exposure in the form of beauty pageant etc but she also gets defensive!
sush is some one who has a high threshold to bear what others have to say about her hence she takes everything with ease and yeah may be she fakes at times but she is a total pro at it as she doesn't let it appear fake!

Always found her very pretentious, for some reason! She tries to portray the image of being someone very different and a cut above bollywood...but is just as ordinary or normal as any other bolly star!

I remember a very old incident...when both Sush and Aishwarya had won the Ms. Universe and Ms. World titles and had been invited to Femina Magazine for an interview together. One of the staff had commented later on, that while Ash was the epitome of grace and humility (despite being much more popular than Sush, even though she lost out Ms. India title), Sush kept throwing her weight around, till Satya Saran (the then editor of Femina) lost her cool and told her to stay grounded.
She is an excellent orator and speaks really well (she was head girl of her school and a champion debator etc...I think this just comes naturally to her!), but somehow doesn't come across as very genuine!


I really wanna get coffee with you or some wine and get listen to you dish out old BW gossip. 😆 I swear, I love your posts. So entertaining to read when you pull out such meaty info.

I've read and seen old Aish interviews where she used to be more candid. But then shit happened and media started writing things about her family that wasn't true. So she's very firm on personal topics.

If someone tries it, she gives them "the look" and gently moves on. The media does love her though, some journalists mentioned how she's one of the favorites b/c off-cam she's geniunely nice to them.

The only thing she's been rude on-cam is 2 at Cannes. Once b/c someone kept asking her about sex and she didn't wanna talk about it and the 2nd time when something got mistranslated by the French interviewer. Then there's the time when this guy back in 2003 directly asked about Salman threathened her and she didn't take his bait.

With Karan she made it clear not to ask about Salman and he still did. Hence that "look" but I do think KJo is geninuely her friend and did so for the sake of getting a reaction. I'm positive Aish has probably to talked to KJo about all of her drama but she won't discuss it publically. 😆 Her best interviews are with Simi, Masand and Anupama. Even the one with Oprah she was likeable.

Sush and Lara are praised to the skies on this forum for appearing to be divergently different to Aish and PC respectively, at least on the surface.
I actually found Lara obnoxious in her first appearance of KWK. The way she brought up Gracy Singh out of nowhere, cos 'no one had mentioned her in a while' was so bitchy and no point to spite someone who's already down and out. Lara is lauded for being bold and brazen but she was just as annoying as PC with her giggling away, blushing over her 'Mr. Darcy Bhupathi' 😵

With all due respect, I disagree.

Katrina doesn't like going too personal because she has a lot of explaining to do about her past. She has lied extensively about her name, age, her family, her childhood, her background etc

Aishwarya on the other hand was quite open and didn't mind talking about her personal life till the ugly Salman episode happened. A lot of media houses ganged up against her and wrote hordes of articles about how she was over blah blah. And from that moment she started detesting the press. She was so pissed even with KJo who repeatedly asked her about Salman, she didn't even agree to appear on his second season.

Also about KJo, I disagree. He is utterly biased with his guests. When SRK turns up, he's fangirling all over and when it's someone he doesn't really like he puts them on the spot.

And most people on that show come out looking like idiots, for example Kareena, Sonam or Sush here. Aish simply doesn't let KJo get to her, she keeps him in place. She's the same with the media. Why do you think we never see her in a controversy with the media? That's because she chooses to be that way.
