I don't think I suggested anywhere in my post that rising like a phoenix had only to do with her career? 😕 She was removed out of a lot of films and she was suddenly jobless so she had to look for work elsewhere - she made some noise in Hollywood, came back with a bang to BW, got married into the illustrious Bachchan family - all this from 2003 to 2007 - from suddenly becoming jobless to rising both personally and professionally was indeed rising like a phoenix.
The same Jaya Bachchan also said she would slap SRK if he said anything wrong about Ash. Of course he didn't apologize only because he felt he wronged her. He apologized because she is not just still very much a star of her own but also much more influential thanks to her surname.
Sorry, her HW career did nothing to her then dwindling BW career. It was Kajra Re the item song that gave a boost to her career. I remember reading Aish's statements during the shooting of Kajra Re.. she was so happy to work with Yash Raj, Big B, and tab ka heart throb Abhi. My sister was like, Why she's talking like a despo? Ek item song hi toh hai. What difference would it make? But it made a difference.. She started hobnobbing with the Bachchans after that song became a big hit and she got the chance to do stage performance with Baap Beta.
Plus her two Ritupo*no Ghose movies helped her get a good actress tag. Her flop HW career did nothing to her.
