Im from Armenia and everybody knows Ash she is very popular in Armenia i think you must ne proud of her. She is your treasure.

You have to have an agent or manager to work in Hollywood, that's how things work there. Aishwarya's international manager, Simone Sheffield, terminated their relationship. Unless Ash gets someone to work on her behalf there, she won't be doing anything there. Which is fine by me - keep her in India. We have enough fake, plastic 'actresses' here.

Miss Ash...

Anonymous's picture

mystique of aishwarya is her bleached brown complexion ...she will always fail in hollywood where a whitened face and ex-miss world crown are not enough ...see even after decades she is still nothing there

she will always be pretty indian guest of shows, nice cover of magazines who claims to be the most beautiful ...she will always remain as loreal guest at cannes and pretty indian ambassador of longines ...nothing more than that

she will remain as legend only in india where she can fool people with her make believe fairness game

Ash's meager attempts to get into Hollywood movies have failed. PP2 and Last Legion were a joke. US audiences didn't really care for either one of them.

You need a lot more than heavy eye makeup, skin bleach, exaggerated expressions, crying on cue, and dancing around trees/through fields to work in a Hollywood movie. Ash would probably have a better chance than other Bollywood actresses (Kaif = talentless hack, Basu = ick), but she needs to go after or select better roles there. Good thing she turned down movies like Troy and Hancock, they were awful. She should go after more character driven roles; she's good at those i.e. Choker Bali, Raincoat.

She can do all the magazine covers she wants and bleach herself into oblivion. She's not going to work in Hollywood or be successful there.

being miss world doesnt mean she is the most beautiful there are so many ordinary looking miss worlds just like aishwarya rai so dont suck up that title...and also everyone knows what kind of politics going on during pageants ...it s just matter of politics so,if she was once miss world doesnt mean she is the most beautiful by the way no one has manipulated that crown so much ...i think it s because she doesnt have anything other than miss world crown ...thats why using it here and there each and eevry time...look at priyanka and others none has been manipulated that crown and claimed to be the most beautiful like this clown aishwarya

The mystique of Aishwarya is she craves to be real and normal... enjoying every bit of her privacy being average ... while the world craves to be the 'at the top' Aishwarya. SHE IS A LEGEND. Look at the obsession (both positive and negative) she creates. People are NUTS obsessed on her. Nuts obsessed.

Totally agree with Mon, 2012-01-30 14:50 — Anonymous! Yes, she's big in India - mainstream actress, successful, decent acting skills, etc. She's huge in South Asia, East Asia, Middle East and maybe parts of Europe and Africa. Can't say for sure for the last 2. But she doesn't have the same level of hyper-stardom in the US and most western countries that she does in India.

Also, the pictures of her from Boston, NY, LA, etc do not show throngs of people and photographers following her everywhere on the streets. US media did not give her coverage at the Oscars last year (French media may have, but that's because they know her from Cannes). Simone Sheffield was her former international manager who tried to introduce Rai to Hollywood, but it was done mostly through Indian-themed English language movies i.e. B&P, Mistress of Spices. US audiences didn't really care for PP2 or Last Legion either.

Sheffield terminated her 10-year relationship with Rai. I wonder if Rai will get another international agent or concentrate on just working in India.

Guzaarish is a copy of what? Everybody said it was a copy of The Sea Inside but the film turned out to be completely different. And poor acting skills? Biased much? Then how did all the critics appreciate Aishwarya and she even bagged a handful of awards for it? Your comments make no sense. And sigh, she is naturally fair and it is so hard for haters to digest. Konkona Sen is a brown woman. Does Ash have her complexion? No right? Then how is she brown? She is light brown/wheatish which is considered fair in India. Has she ever been as fair as Anne Hathaway etc? No right? Then how did she bleach? Didn't you see her childhood pics? She still looks just as fair. Quit hating, find a job.

Show me a single credible article which said about this 'controversy' you're reffering to? You won't. Because there was no talk about Ash not being pregnant and using a surrogate. It is just the jealous haters talking on Pinkvilla.

Aishwarya should get credit where it's due - she's got to be the biggest star in Bollywood history. And compared to her peers, she's had the most international exposure - Cannes, Letterman, Oprah, Time 100 twice, and 4-5 non-Indian movies to her name. The international endorsements are also a plus. She's a huge star in India.

However, I do believe the Indian media sometimes implies that she has the same level of stardom in other countries as she does in India - that simply isn't true. Her fan base in those countries i.e. UK, US, Canada, Dubai is mostly Indians. Of course, non-Indians like her as well, and generally speaking, the entertainment industry would know famous names outside of the US. But I would guess the majority of people that know her name outside of India are NRIs. She came on a number on shows to promote B&P in 2005 and has appeared on Oprah twice along with E! on Sexiest (movie stars, body part-eyes, actresses). Even her cross over movies i.e. B&P, Mistress of Spices have been Indian-themed. And the two that weren't - PP2, Last Legion - did not do well. Appearing in promotions and being talked about on a few E! shows doesn't make her a star in Hollywood at least. I can't speak of other countries, but she hasn't been featured regularly here for the average American to know who she is.

But that doesn't mean her achievements should be downplayed, not at all. Her achievements should be appreciated, but kept in perspective at the same time.

guzaarish?? poor copy of spanish art and music with poor acting skills specially aishwarya ...she is at the peak of whitened -herself in that movie....just like it is said below by another anon ...yeah she is really shame on india and indians ....even your miss world bleaches her brown face....what a pity and shame ...for me she is the ugliest woman on earth with that whitening mentality...any woman on indian road much more beautiful and precious than this fake whitened aishwarya rai whose fame based on money,marketing and bleached face

"@TMBW, couldn't become a mother till she is almost 40., and that too, its not clear, and too much controversy, from pregnancy, to birth to after birth and still no sign of motherhood!!!" There is no controversy. She is a superstar. She is in a family where everyone is a star so naturally the anticipation will be high.

There was talk about Ash not being pregnant at all and using a surrogate mother.That could be true as she always covered herself so much when she was pregnant unlike say Lara Dutta . She didn't look pregnant either. Why was she acting so fishy the at the time she was pregnant covering herself like crazy? I guess that was what Sat, 2012-01-28 20:47 — Anonymous was talking about! I agree with her too!

To clarify some of the below comments - she was on the Asia edition of Time magazine. This picture above is from the Royal Ascot which is sponsored by Longines. I think that picture is either from the UK or France, pretty sure it's from the UK, and it's probably 3-4 years old.

Totally agree with the poster that said that Abhishek respects Aishwarya unlike the two losers she dated below. Salman...well, enough said. Physical abuse, infidelity, causing drama on her movie sets, and stress for her family. Vivek claims (claims being the key word) that Aishwarya 'manipulated' him into doing the press conference and never thanked him afterward - see interview with Farah Khan. What rubbish! He clearly needs to take responsibility for his actions, and airing dirty laundry was classless. So glad she's moved on from these 2 idiots!

IT IS A PITY MOST INDIANS THINK THAT AISHWARYA IS A GLOBAL STAR JUST BECAUSE YOUR MEDIA IMPLIES IT HOWEVER SHE IS KNOWN ONLY IN THE PLACES WHERE THERE IS CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF INDIAN POPULATION AND ALSO SHE IS NOT "A STAR" IN THOSE PLACES ...SHE IS NOT A START IN US ,UK JUST A PRETTY INDIAN FACE WHO IS TRYING HARD TO LOOK DIFFERENT FROM "THE REST OF INDIA" WHO DOES HER BEST TO LOOK WHITE THUS WEAKENING THE IDEA OF INDIANS ARE BROWN(WHEREAS SHE IS ALSO BROWN!!! THE IRONY!) AND SHE IS NOT A STAR IN EUROPE AS WELL ....YOU INDIANS ARE SO FUNNY TO GO BEYOND SO MUCH ...YOU ARE LIVING IN THE WORLD YOU CREATED BY YOURSELF AND CONSIDERING THAT SHE HAS BECOME GLOBAL STAR JUST BECAUSE SHE RECEIVED SOME ARRANGED AWARDS,LOREAL GUEST AT CANNES,PRETTY BRAND AMBASSADR,BEING DAILY COVER ,TEMPORARY GUEST OF SOME SHOWS ETC ...SHE IS NOT A STAR AS YOU DREAM OF...WORLD DOESNT CONSIST OF INDIA OR SAY ASIA SO THINK TWICE BEFORE MAKING A HUGE SENTENCE LIKE THAT ...AISHWARYA IS JUST ANOTHER FOREIGN ACTRESS OUTSIDE WHO IS TRYING SO HARD BUT STILL WHO IS STILL NOTHING OTHER THEN BEING A MODEL ...EVEN AFTER A DECADE

"The most calculating woman on the earth.
She is paying the dues for her miscalculations." - Baseless accusations. HOW? Can you prove it? NO.
"She has only gone downhill from her miss world days." - I think you're confusing Ash for Sush :)
"The most beautiful woman married the most useless man on the earth." - The most useless guy on earth is a National award winner and the only actor to win Filmfare awards three times consecutively. The same guy was the most eligible bachelor of his time and the Bachchan heir. More importantly, he loves AND RESPECTS his girl, unlike the two losers she dated before.
"And that too, at the ripe age of 35." - She got married at 33. And ripe age of 35? Lol. Is there a rule that women should get married before 30? Look at Preity, Urmila, Tabu etc. They're 37 and yet not married. Ash is happily married with a beautiful daughter. Leave her alone.
"TMBW, couldn't become a mother till she is almost 40., and that too, its not clear, and too much controversy, from pregnancy, to birth to after birth and still no sign of motherhood!!!" There is no controversy. She is a superstar. She is in a family where everyone is a star so naturally the anticipation will be high.
"We need to change her title to the Most unsucessfull woman" - Yep, the most unsuccessful woman in the world makes crores of rupees every year and wins tons of awards :D
"Most overrated woman by her blind fans." - Most underrated by her delusional haters ;)
"Woman who loves herself" - Please tell me which person doesn't love themselves? LOL. At least she is humble and down to earth and never praises herself unlike the lieks of Kareena who are just full of themselves.

We need to change her title to the
Most unsucessfull woman
Most overrated woman by her blind fans.
Woman who loves herself
