The recent interviews of Ash are interesting. The interviews in India as well as in America on the TV really focuses on what she will do in Hollywood. She has projected herself in the local media as someone who is conservative and kept repeating that her priorities are in maintaining dignity.
She is slowly realizing that she is an entertainer and a performer. Unlike Bollywood, in Hollywood you have to earn your mettle – the condition is just too tough especially for someone like her with Indian accent and looks.
In recent days she has prepared her fans for a stage where she can freely kiss if needed and shed her clothes in the context of the film including love making scenes before the Hollywood camera.
She realizes that unless she frees herself from these traditional eastern ideas which, sometimes can be called old fashioned in the Western world, she will not be able to go any where in Hollywood. She will be stuck with doing side roles and then go back to Bollywood complaining about lack of opportunities in Hollywood.
Keep your seat belt on. Best of Ash is still to come!
