starred opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Karan
Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
While we wait with bated breaths to see
Aishwarya charm us yet again on screen, the
actor will next be seen in Atul Manjrekar's
Fanne Khan. The movie also stars Anil
Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao and will see
Aishwarya in the role of a popstar.
Talking about Fanne Khan with DNA,
Aishwarya said, "Yes. I don't care if it's a
character, a leading lady or a glamorous
part. People forget I did Iruvar (1997)
right in the beginning of my career. I played
Shah Rukh (Khan)'s sister in our first film
together (Josh, 2000) and I never had
issues. I'm doing Fanne Khan because I like
the larger idea of the film. There's a girl who
looks up to this pop star, which is played by
me. But sometimes, when we idolise
someone, we forget that they, too, have a
real side to that person. We shouldn't judge
people on what actually are frivolous ideas.
It's important for me as a star to come out
and speak about such issues in today's day
and time."
Fanne Khan is slated to release on July 13,
2018.
Earlier, in the same interview, when asked
how she handles the fashion police when it
comes to her appearances, Aishwarya
humbly replied, "That's a part of being on a
public platform. If you're talking about the
comments whether it's about the
immense praise or critiquing that's just
part of being a celebrity. That's fine because
it goes with the turf. I'm very easy with it. I
don't diss it or disrespect it. Experience is
the best teacher, after all."
