Just a little bit of reality check!
It took millions spent in publicity and a publicist that worked day and night to bring Aishwarya and Abhishek on Opra even after Ash had been in Pink Panther and a couple of other big budget hollywood flicks. One where she played a Kerala Warrior in what was a $80m budget film.
We love Sarun but even in India they are not even accepted as big stars!
I dont know if you watched a clip where Sharukh Khan danced with all the Bahus on Day time TV in India -- Khushi was pretty nervous and they way they talked down to these women.. -- Sharukh didnt (from what I have seen, the guy keeps humble) but the host was talking down to them -- these guys are not that big in India either!
Either way TV actors are not considered stars in India so creating any kind of buzz for Ellen is difficult for the most talented publicist.
Unless you guys have some hollywood contacts that would like to buy the story as an Indian Cinderella thing!!!
Just thought I should drop this into the discussion.
