stardom remains unfazed even after two
decades in the industry. Aishwarya is an
epitome of beauty, grace and eloquence. She
is still one of the most sought after actors in
B-Town today. Her charming personality and
glorious on-screen presence makes her
shine on the big-screen.
Aishwarya spoke about her film journey in
an interview with a leading publication. She
said that she was being pursued by the
biggest Bollywood film-makers even when
she was a model.
"Even before winning the titles, I was being
pursued. Dharmesh Darshan had offered me
Raja Hindustani; Yashji (Yash Chopra)
wanted to launch me in Maine Toh
Mohabbat Kar Li, which became Dil Toh
Pagal Hai, Ash said.
She added, "During the title year, both Mani
Ratnam and Rajiv Menon got in touch. I was
an admirer of Mani Ratnam's cinema, so
Iruvar happened. Again, my story was an
unconventional one. Unlike other
newcomers who waited to see the fate of
their first film, I'd already signed two to
three films. Long story short, when I started
shooting Iruvar with Mani, my inner voice
told me this was home.
After daughter Aaradhya's birth, she has
worked in films like Jazbaa, Sarabjit and Ae
Dil Hai Mushkil. She said about working on
Jazbaa, "We worked the schedule such that I
could drop my daughter to school and pick
her up. Then came Sarabjit and Ae Dil Hai
Mushkil at the same time.
Talking about Sarabjit, Ash said, "I just dived
into it. I could make it sound very glorious
and say we did intense research, but I don't
believe in month-long rehearsals. It's all
literally in the moment. That's when the
audience knows whether I have a connect
or not. Which then gets defined as good or
bad acting.
