Interview : Dazzling !
She's been globe-trotting and she's been out of Mumbai marquee scene for the whole of this year. Fret not, Aishwarya Rai is back with three big ticket releases - Umrao Jaan, Dhoom II and Guru. Unveiling the festive range of diamonds for a brand she endorses, she spoke about her passion for the precious stone, her fluctuating weight and co-stars.
Excerpts from the Interview:
Never mind the box office outcome of your films, your legion of fans is increasing day by day. How do you manage to keep your star status intact?
It is wonderful to be loved and I'm blessed, humbled and thrilled. My job is my passion and I think people just appreciate that.
You've been travelling aplenty...
I travelled extensively for the last one year and it's probably the longest interval that I've been away from home. Since the last couple of years, my producers have been following a strict start-to-finish schedule of shooting, which meant long spells at locations.
What was your famous fitness regime for Dhoom II like?
The Dhoom II schedule was split up into two parts. In the meantime, we had to complete Guru, for which I had to put on weight. When the shooting for Dhoom II resumed, I followed a fitness regime for about three weeks. I'm fortunate that my body responded to it. I don't believe in strict dieting and starvation and have always indulged my sweet tooth.
What is it about your roles in the forthcoming biggies that you like?
I want to reiterate that Umrao Jaan is not just the story of a bygone era. It's what so many girls go through even now. What I like most about Dhoom II is the way the mannerisms of the characters have brought out. The characters are not just modern, hot and racy.
What is the general perception about Indian films in the international arena?
There is immense curiosity and familiarity about our films. They are not just talking about the duration of our films and our musicals, but also about the content of our films.
What about Abhishek Bachchan?
It's because you are seeing us together on screen more often that people think there is something more. Hrithik (Roshan) and Abhishek are the two actors with whom I'm paired in all my forthcoming releases.
