Ash: Inhibition Barrier to Her Profession?

Bachchan bahu Aishwarya Rai may be one of the leading actresses of Bollywood but she has never quite been able to shed her inhibitions and become a real pro. This is the age where actors like Aamir Khan go to any extent to provide authenticity to their characters.

But Aishwarya's coyness may have proved a hurdle to a free-flowing more exuberant acting career. Unlike Angelina Jolie, with whom she is often compared, Aishwarya is not comfortable about screen intimacy.

Aishwarya has never really been able to shed her reservations and in a 15 year career, she has only given one liplock (in Dhoom 2 with Hrithik Roshan). Besides she hasn't indulged in much of a skin show. While it's understandable that her ethics and morals don't permit her to go bold, in the current era of high-tech gadgets, even an Indian actress is showing no qualms about kissing their co-star (take for instance the likes of Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone or Priyanka Chopra).

However, in Aishwarya's favour, one must say that she is married and is therefore edgy about doing explicit scenes. But it's a puzzle why her moaning scene in 'Guzaarish' was scissored down at the last moment on her request? Of course, her hubby is liberal and intelligent enough to understand the demands of modern cinema. But then, it also highlights the Indian principles and morals that are deeply seeded inside Aishwarya.

So, do you think you would like to see a little more liberal approach by the former Miss World?
