Aishwarya declined to play the female lead in Karan Johar's 'Dostana' because the film features a love triangle that would have required her to share her affections for Abhishek with John Abraham.

April 2, 2008 (Sawf News) - Aishwaryadeclined to play the female lead in Karan Johar's Dostana because the film features a love triangle that would have required her to share her affections for Abhishek withJohn Abraham.

"Now that Abhishek and I are married the kind of quirky situations shown in Dostana, albeit in a comic vein, wouldn't have worked," Aishwarya says in an interview published in Mid Day.

Aishwarya is comfortable doing a film that features a straight forward romance with an actor other than Abhishek, like Jodhaa Akbar.

However, she will not have anyone compete for her affection with Abhishek on screen.

"Now the audience can't see me sharing my affections for Abhishek with another guy," she says.

The 34-year-old former Miss India sounded slightly miffed at Karan Johar for putting her in a predicament with the story line in Dostana, and forcing her to withdraw from the film.

"Karan Johar wasn't bothered with all these personal considerations. But I felt otherwise. I thought the audience would wonder, 'She likes John and Abhishek equally? No way!'," she says

Aishwarya's role in the film eventually went to Priyanka Chopra. The film is currently under production in Miami.

Aishwarya plans to visit Miami to be with Abhishek on their first wedding anniversary on April 20.

Okay, that was just a role, naii? Why be so serious about it? Anyways, I really like her saree in the pic, so beautiful. The sari's border looks so good.

Oddly enough I respect her decision. A certain section of the media will go beserk with this statement of hers. See, now there will be an article- 'Ash miffed with Karan Johar for asking her to share Abhishek'. 😉

I doubt the audience will mind. The Bachchans may.
😆 😆 😆

She seems to be slowly putting her career on the back burner.
