Aishwarya was on the verge of being pretty big. Bigger than Priyanka or Deepika in Hollywood.

I knew of her at a time when I wasn't interested in Indian cinema and when I wasn't as connected as now.

Alright. A HW creep wanted to meet her alone, a girlfriend beater wanted to beat her for the rest of his life, and anyone having casual sex with her was dying to marry her narratives are important for her self-worth then let her and her team live with that belief.

Yeah if anyone had an actual shot at making it in HW, it was Aishwarya, the caliber of movies offered to her are way beyond what PC gets. PC has the moxie and is making do with what she has (and the overall decline of the "moviestar") but it's pretty insane what Aishwarya could have garnered off the strength of her beauty

Rebuffing Troy was a big blow. The role didn't even require much of acting. She would have been perfect and could have garnered much more attention.

Ben Affleck probably should suffer now with Hillary Burton's comments.

Amazon's Head of Studios, Roy Price, is suspended because after Rose McGowan mentioned the ambivalent attitude towards sexual harassment complaints, Isa Hackett mentioned how she was harassed by Roy Price.

I hope many more women come out and expose the power dynamics and harassment going around. Jane Fonda said it best that the basis of entertainment is supremely sexist.

^ Yeah Hitch is a mainstay on television repeats and decently embedded in pop culture. It's basically the only credit to Eva Mendes's name. any of those movies would've been big for her.

What does it have to do with what I've previously written ?

Indeed, big names like Will Smith and Brad Pitt wanted to work with her.

She almost worked with Meryl Streep but the movie was shelved.

Priyanka was offered Wonder Woman in 2006 when Joss Whedon was leading the project (it was shelved) and Deepika was offered Fast and the Furious 7. Priyanka is/was considered for She-Hulk too. I'm sure there's many more. Wonder why people only overhype Aish movies that didn't happen. 😕 IMO if you didn't do the movie, it's not yours... this whole could've, should've, would've is pointless. Aish's Hollywood career = Bride and Prejudice to Pink Panther and whatever movies she actually did in between.
