"I took a break for the past five months because of personal reasons. I'm glad I did. It meant a lot for me personally so I didn't have any professional meetings. I started last week and I liked two subjects already. So, as and when we feel the need and the time is right, we will share the news with you. But I have just started listening to scripts. Until then, I had taken time off for work for my family, especially for my mother," Aishwarya told DNA.
Earlier, Aishwarya revealed that she and Abhishek were approached by filmmaker Anurag Kashyap for his next film titled Gulab Jamun. "We have been approached for Gulab Jamun and they have narrated us the script," she said.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's association with Mani Ratnam has been a professional and an emotional one. He cast her in some of their most prominent films together and now, the two are all set to reunite for the fourth time after Iruvar, Guru and Raavan.
Recently, while at Cannes, during a FaceTime interview, Ash had told us, "I took a break for the past five months because of personal reasons. I'm glad I did. It meant a lot for me personally so I didn't have any professional meetings. I started last week and I liked two subjects already. So, as and when we feel the need and the time is right, we will share the news with you. But I have just started listening to scripts. Until then, I had taken time off for work for my family, especially for my mother."
Among the two films that she claimed she has liked, one is Mani's next. Says a source close to the actress, "Yes, Ash and Mani are doing a film together. It's a romantic drama, which will be a bilingual and will be made in Hindi and Tamil. The two were in talks for a film for years and it's finally happening." We reached out to both Ash and Mani, but both of them chose not to respond.
