Aishwarya rejects Hollywood for Bollywood

Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 12:38 [IST]
Aishwarya Bachchan is a familiar name in Hollywood now. She has been brand ambassador for various international brands like Longines, L"Oreal Paris and has also acted in Hollywood projects like the Pink Panther 2, Mistress of Spices, The Last Legion etc.

But the beauty queen has recently refused a Hollywood film, featuring Brad Pitt. She is in high demand among the Hollywood filmmakers but the lady has her hands full with Bollywood projects now. However, she clarified the reason behind her rejection. Aishwarya said, “I was not showing attitude or anything; it is just for the lack of time. My time will be taken up by my Bollywood projects which mean that I cannot do justice to any project in Hollywood right now."

Earlier also, the actress has rejected the film Troy with Brad Pitt. However, the reason was quite different then. At that time, Aishwarya had said, “I am not comfortable doing those intimate scenes with Brad Pitt. There are lots of kisses and explicit lovemaking scenes. I am not comfortable at all." Aishwarya had also refused doing other Hollywood projects like Hancock and Seven Pounds. In fact, the Hollywood director Brett Ratner wanted to cast her in Rush Hour.

Speaking about her international projects, the actress quipped, “In a press conference in India, Michael Douglas confessed that he had brought a script for me. Will Smith was also generous enough to persuade me twice for Hancock and Seven Pounds." So, the 'desi girl" Aishwarya is not willing to move towards Hollywood now. It is definitely good news for Bollywood and her Indian fans!

Since when ppl appreciated certain stars here? India should be proud that some Indian actresses have won international titles, became international icons and receiving awards in a foreign country. But what do they get here in their own country?? just plain bashing up, passing ill and negative comments.
