Meryl Streep: Aishwarya Rai is quite famous; she is elegant and gorgeous

Actor Meryl Streep, who won her third Oscar this year, may be on the wish list of every filmmaker across the globe, but the Hollywood star says that on her wish list is seeing the Taj Mahal. Best known for her films including Mamma Mia!, Sophie’s Choice and Kramer Vs Kramer amongst several others, the actor here talks about her work, Indian cinema and also reveals her hottest co-star.

What’s your take on Bollywood?
I believe Bollywood is very popular all across. I have seen a few films in bits, so I won’t name any, but I enjoyed it. It’s different cinema.

Any plans to visit India someday?
Yes, of course! I would love to see the Taj Mahal. I keep Googling it for it’s images and I feel it’s immensely beautiful. I would love to visit the place soon.

Several top filmmakers and actors in Bollywood have admitted to being a fan of your work.
Well, I consider myself to be very fortunate if that is the case. I would appreciate them for having said that.

Is there any actor on your radar?
Well, in Bollywood, Aishwarya Rai (Bachchan) is quite famous. She is elegant and gorgeous.

Who would you rank as your hottest co-star till date?
All are good in their own way, but I think it should be Alec Baldwin. It was fun shooting for It’s Complicated with him.

What kind of research did you do to play the character of Margaret Thatcher?
I observed lots of newsreel and real footage, and the biggest challenge for me was just accomplishing the long lines of thought that she would launch into without taking a breath. Even with all the drama schooling I’ve had, I had a lot of trouble managing that. And that has something to do with who she was as a person, just the galvanising energy, the drive, the capacity to follow through with a conviction all the way to the end of your breath until you can’t go any further — and not let anybody interrupt (laughs).

Do you prefer playing real people or fictional characters?
Well, since in a good 40% of the film I’m playing a Margaret Thatcher no one has seen or knows, and we can’t know — it’s an imagined journey that we were taking — I felt a lot of freedom.

What’s the secret of Meryl Streep being the star every actor hopes to be?
Well, being modest I would say there is no secret as such. I feel maybe it’s ’cause of my work that they are inspired and it gives them motivation.

there is no need to burn...I think you should burn because you know that most of the news about aishwarya in DNA India published these kind of news because they are paid...even you know that...poor you!! enjoy your two minutes of happiness!!

EVEN IF IT'S 1 SECONDS HAPPINESS, WE STILL ENJOY IT. KEEP SUFFOCATING

Only in India does someone like Ash gets bash and a porn star like Sunny Leone get praise.

What twisted people this beautiful country have.

Lol.enough said!I don't need to say,what would have been the reaction of these enviers if there was some negative remark. I am sure it hurts to read about more n more international n indian personalities saying great things about Ash, n now none other than Meryl.I m sorry but she hasn't even heard of ur star(infact,she hasn't heard of any from Bw.).And Ash is the most successful n more successful than any indian actress internationally, having 3 sure shot successes(outta 5) in HW (with vital roles in all her hw projects).Being the actress of the decade and being a better actress than any of these today;it must hurt some souls.But Ash is only glowing more n more,as these enviers burn. ;-)

Notice the Ash part is in bold lettering. Either this interview is fake or it ws done merely to boost the now fading image of Ash. PV makes it a point to publish all Ash related stories that glorify her, like that 'God know who' DJ being hynotised by Ash. It comes across clearly that PV's objective is to make Ash out to be omething she aint.

God there're a lot of stupid comments here... Meryl didn't comment on her acting surely because she hasn't seen any movies of Aish. That doesn't mean Aish is bad...If I follow your logic, every BW actor is bad since Meryl didn't comment! Aish is famous and that's all that article is saying.... God bless her

Not anymore, shes fat and plump and ewww looking

Fri, 2012-03-16 10:19 — filmyfunda

Firstly i think like of thier "stories" this one too is fabricated. And even if its true it goes on to prove my point that Ash is only known for her bneauty (courtesy Cannes) and nothing else. hahahahaha

Fri, 2012-03-16 10:12 — Anonymous

meryl obviously knows ash due to her failed "hollywood" films that are always bigged up by her pr around the world and the so called big films she was supposed to do- note the way she says aishwarya rai and not aishwarya rai bachchan. and meryl refers to her as elegant, gorgeous and famous - she says nothing about her acting skills --- that says it all. she's only known for being "most" beautiful in the west - hyped up big time by her pr as if noone else can have that tag. well then she would only know ash in bollywood wouldn't she? plenty of better, talented actresses than her like vidya, rani, pc, kareena, kalki etc thank god meryl hasn't worked with this so called actress. keep dreaming, ash fans. and no i'm not a HATER...i'm stating facts. just like you do on posts about other actresses.

again ...aishwarya always needs hollywood enhancement ...a star from hollywood has to produce her name so that world gets known about this indian ...who claims to be the most beautiful ....aishwarya you are so desperate that you alone nothing so always playing up using hollywood names ...what a shame

Well said Meryl, Ashwariya Rai is just georgeous and not the most beautiful as they want her to be.

hahaha goddess of acting streep says aishwarya is gorgeous but nothing about her acting...it speaks volumes...hahahahaha poor aishwarya.

Fri, 2012-03-16 08:44 — Anonymous

the emphasis is on quite famous lol
so technically that means in india only not a global phenomena just in and around asia.
she is elegant in her appearances.

Fri, 2012-03-16 08:42 — Oxygen

WOW!!!Coming from hollywood's accomplished actress.So so good!There is not an inch of doubt that Ash is the most well known n the most successful indian/BW celeb in the world.Btw some yrs ago,Ash n Meryl both were okayed for a film called Chaos(a remake of a french film) but it didn't take off.Anyways it will be an absolute absolute treat 2 see them together.Ash has also said that Meryl is her fav. actress. Its funny that Streep only knows Ash in bollywood.But Ash never boasts anything off,unlike the many wannabes in the town.But again this is part of Ash's daily routine. ;-)
