Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on how Aaradhya helped her work on Jazbaa

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is all set for her Bollywood comeback with Jazbaa opposite Irrfan Khan, claims that Aaradhya helped her essaying the role of Anuradha in the movie. “Actually having become a mother was perfect for a script like this because there is a lot of truth to the nuancing you can bring in,” the actor said.

“In terms of any dramatic moment, you can bring in a degree of truth to the sense of drama without necessarily being overt, and yet be there with all heart, every pulse, every cell of your body actually committed to that moment. Experience does bring in a lot of honesty here. That’s what made me bring a lot of integrity and truth also to the way I’ve essayed Anuradha,” she added.

In Jazbaa, Aishwarya’s character of an advocate is facing a danger of losing her daughter if she doesn’t get a criminal out by fighting his case. Elaborating on her how real-life experiences helped, Aishwarya said, “As actors, you don’t necessarily constantly refer to real-life experiences, but as an artist, experience is the greatest teacher. So you will otherwise be referencing, picking up from somebody else’s life, or from impressions which we very often don’t realize... sometime impressed by the cinema you’ve viewed. That’s the kind of subconscious imaging with which you come on the set. But having become a mother was perfect for a script like this. “

Aishwarya had taken a break from movies after her daughter Aaradhya was born in 2011. She now feels that taking care of her daughter’s needs kept her fully occupied. “For us being new mothers, there is no concept of the way time flies. You are multitasking on another level,” she said.

Directed by Sanjay Gupta, Jazbaa is set to hit theatres on October 9.

Jazbaa will be good for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

According to her charts, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s comeback film will do well and she will be lauded for her performance

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is making her much awaited comeback with Jazbaa.Aishwarya, who took a break from films and acting a few years back after becoming a mother, shall be playing an advocate in the movie. In between, the ethereal beauty had faced some harsh criticism for her post-pregnancy weight gain. But undeterred by all this, the former beauty queen refused to be in a hurry to leave behind the role of a doting mother in order to spruce up her appearance. She took her time, tackled slander with a stoic calm and now returns to make her mark yet again. But will she?
The action drama Jazbaa features Aishwarya as the central lead, while talented stars Shabana Azmi and Irrfan Khan make up the supporting cast. Will Jazbaa prove to be an able return vehicle for the lovely actress? We ask the planets…

Important Astrological Observations

Aishwarya Rai will be under the influence of a Rahu major period and Mercury sub-period, till December 12, 2017.

She is currently under the influence of Shani’s (Saturn) Saade Saati, which will end on January 17, 2023.

Ketu will be transiting through the 7th House (of public image) in her chart, till January 30, 2016.

On the day of Jazbaa’s release, there will be a Stellium of four planets in the Zodiac Sign Leo, falling in the 12th House of Aish’s Chart. These four planets are Jupiter, Mars, Moon and Venus. Sun, Rahu and the exalted but retrograde Mercury will be transiting through her Ascendant House at the time of the film’s release.

Astrological Predictions

Based on the aforementioned planetary transits and Dasha periods, we feel that Aishwarya Rai’s comeback vehicle Jazbaa will prove to be good for her.

Overall, Ash’s performance in the film will be appreciated by the audiences.

However, she will have to be ready to face some criticism for her performance, specifically from media critics.
The film Jazbaa and Aish’s performance in it will be well received abroad.

Going by the long-term stars, it is likely that Aishwarya will not be doing a great number of films in the near future. Nonetheless, she will be working pretty hard till January 17, 2023. Her performance will get refined, as she progresses towards the said time frame. She will also become more insightful and retrospective.

Overall, we feel that Ash will focus more on the quality of her work rather than the quantity of her projects for the next few years.

In conclusion, the comeback process and project will be useful for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She will be able to attract the attention of the right audiences. However, in the coming years, her career as an actress will move ahead at a slow pace as she will chose only a few key, quality projects.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's security beefed up

A source says, “Aishwarya entered the party quite late and was accompanied by two of her personal security officers. As soon as news spread about her presence at the night club, a huge crowd gathered outside to catch a glimpse of her. The club’s bouncers and her security officers were no match for the surging crowd and had a tough time getting Ash out of the club. Now that the city tours are about to begin, the makers have decided to strengthen the security cover around the actress, considering her fan following.” A source working on the project states: “Recently, there have been a few cases of actors being manhandled by fans and so, we don’t want to take any chances with Ash. She will be surrounded by 15-20 bodyguards during the promotional city tours.” Akash Chawla, co-producer of Jazbaa confirms the news, saying: “The security has indeed been beefed up keeping the promotions in mind.” -

All is Well with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Says Madhur Bhandarkar

Director Madhur Bhandarkar, who reportedly had fallen out with actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in 2011, over his film Heroine, says that things are normal between them now and he is open to working with her. 

Heroine had hit headlines after Aishwarya, who was signed to play the protagonist of his ambitious project, opted out due to her pregnancy. 

When asked about his current equation with Aishwarya, the director said, "It is nice. All is good and normal. If there is an interesting script I would be okay to direct her. Yes, why not?" 

Heroine had to face quite a few hurdles as it was first offered to Kareena Kapoor Khan but after several meetings and discussions on the script, she had turned down the offer. However, exact reasons could not be known. 

Later, the role went to Aishwarya and the film was announced at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2011. The shooting was supposed to commence from June, when Amitabh Bachchan broke the news of his daughter-in-law's pregnancy. 

The producers even took the decision to stall the project for the sake of Aishwarya's health. 

Almost at the verge of being shelved, Kareena was finally roped in for the film but it failed to register success at the box office. 

"With Heroine I wanted to show the super stardom of an actress and her decline and what happens to her. I have no regrets for any of my films and I stand by them. 

"Heroine was made at a budget of Rs 21 crores and it earned Rs 40 crores. I am happy with the way the film shaped up," the National Award-winning director told PTI. 

On Aishwarya's comeback film with Sanjay Gupta - Jazbaa - he said that he liked the trailer and even tweeted about it. 

The Fashion director known for making women-centric films, is excited for his upcoming movieCalendar Girls that depicts the lives of five girls, who hail from different regions of India and are selected for an annual calendar shoot.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kangana Ranaut or Sonam Kapoor – which ruffled beauty is best?

Sonam Kapoor recently attended a brand event wearing a lovely Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla dress. The ruffled skirt made her look no less than a Disney princess. The embroidered top was a great offset against the ruffled skirt of the outfit. Sonam did her hair in soft curls and looked like a dream! Ruffled hemlines are in this season!


From Sonam to Aishwarya every diva is opting for ruffled numbers, more volume the better! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wore a ruffled Ralph and Russo gown to Cannes this year.

Kangana wore a lovely white Ralph and Russo number to Queen’s Paris premiere recently.

And Sonam looked like a fresh flower in the Abu Sandeep couture outfit at a brand event.

Bigg Boss 9': Aishwarya Rai Bachchan not to promote 'Jazbaa' on Salman Khan's Show?

Controversial reality show "Bigg Boss" is not only entertaining, but is also a good platform to promote upcoming Bollywood movies.
In the past seasons, several Bollywood stars have promoted their films on the reality show and this year too the same is likely. "Bigg Boss 9", hosted by Salman Khan, will be aired on television from October and one big movie releasing in that month is none other than Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's "Jazbaa".

But Salman and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's fans might be disappointed, as the actress will not promote her film on the show, reports suggest.
Aishwarya Rai's "Jazbaa" will release on 9 October and thus the actress is on a promotion spree. She started the promotion of the film with reality show "Dance India Dance season 5".
Latest reports reveal that the actress will not share screen space with Salman on "Bigg Boss 9". However, this is not because the duo is not in good terms, but because "Jazbaa" will release on 9 October, while Salman's "Bigg Boss 9" will reportedly air two days after the film's release.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan My Idol, Says Former Jhalak Reloaded Contestant

British model-dancer Scarlett Wilson, who entertained the audience on TV show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded, said she is a fan of actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's dancing skills and looks up to her.

Scarlett is the ninth contestant to get eliminated from the celebrity dance show.

The 26-year-old model, who also performed to Aishwarya's famous song Dola Re fromDevdas in one of the episodes of the show, said she referred to the actress' grace and facial expressions for her act.

"Aishwarya is my favourite in Bollywood and she will always be my idol. Any kind of song I do, I take reference from her. When Shamita (Shetty) and I performed on Dola Re, I thought about her facial expressions, how graceful she was in the song and how she moved. I am inspired by her," Scarlett told PTI.

Of her stint on the reality show, Scarlett, who has appeared in item songs in films likeBaahubali and R... Rajkumar, said that she is happy that she got a chance to perform in front of Shahid Kapoor and top filmmaker Karan Johar, who is no more a part of the show. 
"Jhalak has been the best experience of my life because of the huge platform that it is and the different dance styles I got to perform, which I wouldn't have got to do otherwise. I feel lucky to have been able to do different dance forms. One of the reasons I wanted to do Jhalak was because of its esteemed jury. I wanted Karan Johar to know that I exist. I feel blessed to have performed in front of him and other judges. It was an honour," she said.

Of all the styles Scarlett performed, she counts Indian dance form as the biggest challenge as it required her to be technically sound.

"Indian dance styles were definitely most challenging. When you are coming to to a different country and performing their dance style, you have to be good at it. You just can't mug up the steps You can't go wrong with that because you want to impress the judges and the audience," the dancer said.

Like US actress-dancer Lauren Gottlieb, who is one of the judges on the show, Scarlett also wishes to make it big in Bollywood.

"She is definitely my inspiration. I don't have dancing ability like her but the kind of success she has seen here is commendable. It feels good to see how Indian industry and audience have accepted her," she said.

The show is now left with Sanaya Irani, Shamita Shetty, Mohit Malik, Faisal Khan, Roopal Tyagi, Anita Hassanandani and Neha Marda.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan bids a teary farewell on 'Jazbaa' sets

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan hasn't been seen on celluloid for the last five years and she's finally getting back to the silver screen with Jazbaa. We hear that the actress got emotional and broke down after the last shot for the film was canned. 

The actress has prepared a lot for her role and is extremely excited about her comeback vehicle. But once the team wrapped up the entire film, Ash could not hold her emotions and was in tears. The actress was seen embracing make-up artist Mickey Contractor and they posted pictures together.

A source from the sets told us, "Ash could not hold back her emotions and was in tears after Sanjay wrapped the shoot for the final schedule." Sanjay on the other hand also tweeted about the same.

Irrfan Khan comes to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's rescue

For her last release Guzaarish, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan didn't have much running to do as she was relegated to nursing Hrithik Roshan, who was bed ridden. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali film was set largely indoors and there was no action of any kind, especially on road. This isn't the case though for Aishwarya's next release Jazbaa, which is an action dramatic thriller. Since a large portion of the film has been shot outdoors, there are also scenes involving some deadly action on the roads.
"Aishwarya had a task in indeed as she had to drive through some real rough roads of Mumbai," informs our source, "Since the film deals with the kidnapping of Aishwarya's daughter and she has to 'race against time' (as is also the tagline of the film), there are scenes where she is required to break quite a few rules."
Though all necessary precautions were taken, Aishwarya was still conscious of the fact that she had to drive really rash.
"This is where Irrfan, who plays the male protagonist in the film, came in handy," the source adds, "Since he has performed action in many of his films before, he volunteered to share certain tips with Aishwarya when it came to driving rash for the camera, and still ensuring that neither she nor the crew members canning the scenes, was hurt."
While Sanjay Gupta ensured that there were no stray passer-bys in the 'veeran ilaaka' on the outskirts of Mumbai where the scene was being shot, Aishwarya wanted to be really sure of what she was getting into. "Perhaps it was the 2003 incident from the shooting of Khakee that was still playing in her mind," a close associate adds, "Back then for the Rajkumar Santoshi film, she had fractured her foot when a jeep had hit her at a high speed, hence resulting in her and co-star Tusshar Kapoor toppling over and falling in the bushes, while narrowly escaping hitting the rocks. Though many years have passed by ever since, the psychological strain is expected to remain."
However, Irrfan calmed her down while asking her to take it easy. "He gave her good support and after a few initial hiccups, the scene was canned," a unit member adds, "The scene has actually turned out to be a highlight of the film in true Sanjay Gupta style."
Now, let's see how it all plays out on screen.
