Mumbai: Following the online furore over the 'racist' advertisement featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with a child, the jewellery company has now decided to withdraw the campaign.
The 41-year-old actress, who is the National brand ambassador for Kalyan Jewellers, had faced the wrath of activists after the print advertisement was published in a leading daily. an open letter addressed to the former beauty queen slammed her involvement in the ad which also promoted child labour. It prompted Aishwarya to release a statement saying the creative team for the brand was responsible for the change.

The company has now apologised for hurting the sentiments of people and has began the process to withdraw the campaign.
"The creative was intended to present the royalty, timeless beauty and elegance. However, if we have inadvertently hurt the sentiments of any individual or organisation, we deeply regret the same. "We have started the process of withdrawing this  creative from our campaign," Kalyan Jewellers said via their Facebook page.

 

 

New Delhi: Sunny Leone says she knows her version of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's "Dhol Baje" cannot match up to the original superhit track but she still hates being compared to the actress.

 

Sunny, in her upcoming film "Ek Paheli Leela", has danced to the track's new version, which retains the signature "Dholi Taro Dhol Baje" tune.

 

"I was really really nervous when I was told that this song would be there in the film. I still haven't seen any review on what people think about the song so that is a little scary because hearing nothing is also not good. But I was definitely scared. I really hate that it was being compared to the two of the biggest stars," Sunny told PTI.

 

The 33-year-old "Ragini MMS 2" actress shared the number is her favourite track from the album.

 

"When you are a newcomer in Bollywood you look at these people and think they are so talented. And then someone wants to re-create it and even if the song is great, you will be compared and at some point, you will not measure up because they were so amazing," she said.

 

What got her mored worried was that she saw the original Aishwarya, Salman Khan number before performing her own.

 

"I watched the original before performing our version and that made me more scary. I hope when people see it, they say 'Sunny did a decent job.' I will be happy with that," she said.

 

"Ek Paheli Leela", directed by Bobby Khan and also starring Jay Bhanushali, Rahul Dev, Rajneesh Duggal and Mohit Ahlawat, releases April 10.

Former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and husband Abhishek Bachchancelebrated Gudhi Padwa today as they were invited to grace an event in Mumbai. Gudhi Padwa is celebrated on the first day of the Chaitra month to mark the beginning of the New year according to the lunisolar Hindu calendar.

Aishwarya looked beautiful in an off white anarkali suit, while Abhishek was clad in white kurta pyjama teamed with saffron jacket.
Aishwarya and Abhishek were surrounded by fans gathered there and visibly had a good time.

Aishwarya had a smile on her lips throughout the event especially when she had to greet her fans. And there we saw a very cute gesture by the protective hubby Abhishek.

According to the latest report from sources close to director Shankar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan might once again be roped in as Rajinikanth's leading lady in Enthiran 2. Both Shankar and Rajinikanth are in talks to materialize Enthiran 2 and looks like the director wants to retain the original heroine in the sequel as well.

The main reason behind this move is to get maximum out of the movie from North India as well reveal sources. Initially there were plans of roping in a leading heroine from Bollywood but since Aishwarya has once again started to act in movies the I director wants to retain the original pair which worked well in Enthiran.

Also to justify the fact that Shankar wants Enthiran 2 to have a major impact among North Indian audience, plans of roping in Aamir Khan is still very strong, confirmed an insider. What kind of role is designed for Aamir Khan is not yet revealed. It is also said that Enthiran 2 will have grander visuals in the second half than the first half to make sure the audience leave the cinema halls with utter satisfaction. Official confirmation from either Shankar or Rajinikanth can be expected soon. After the humongous success of I it can be expected that Shankar will come up with an extraordinary film in Enthiran 2.

If the speculated cast which involves Superstar Rajinikanth, Aishwarya Rai and Aamir Khan becomes true, then Enthiran 2 might well become the biggest Indian film ever in terms of anticipation and box office collections.

The match of one of the biggest stars of Bollywood and the most beautiful woman in the world simply makes us believe that the marriages are made in heaven. Ever since they are together, this power couple of Bollywood has just inspired us with their true love for each other. Yes, we are talking about none other than the Bollywood heartthrob, Abhishek Bachchan, and the queen of hearts, Aishwarya Rai.

They both were also invited to the ‘Oprah Winfrey Show’ after their marriage and were said to be more famous as a couple than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, aka Brangelina. Well, the way they have been with each other ever since they are together, they truly deserve this title of being ‘one of the most famous couples in the world’. And, as Abhishek Bachchan gears up to celebrate his 39th birthday with his ladylove, we bring to you their magical love story.

When they were ‘just friends’
Abhishek and Aishwarya met on the sets of the movie, Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke (2000), and later worked on another film, Kuch Naa Kaho (2000). At this time, they were just friends. In fact, they had casually met even before they did these films together. It was actually on the sets of Aishwarya’s first Bollywood movie, Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya (1997), where she was working with Abhishek’s good friend, Bobby Deol.

Back then, Ash (as she is commonly known) was involved with Salman Khan, while Abhishek was engaged to Karisma Kapoor. However, their engagement soon broke off and Abhishek involved himself more into his work. On the other hand, Salman’s abusive behavior towards Aishwarya led to their break-up as well. After this, she got involved with Vivek Oberoi. But, even that relationship did not last for long.

How love blossomed between the two
Some say that the sparks of love ignited between the two while shooting for the item song, Kajra Re, on the sets of Bunty Aur Babli (2005).

However, it was in 2006, when they got a lot of time to spend together while shooting together for three films, Umrao Jaan, Guru and Dhoom 2. It was especially during the year and a half shooting period of Dhoom 2, when they started developing feelings towards each other. Aishwarya’s uncomplicated nature and smiling face just made Abhishek weak in his knees.

The beautiful proposal
Finally, it was after the premiere of the film, Guru, in Toronto, when he proposed to her in New York, and she immediately accepted his proposal.

Abhishek said in one of his interviews, “I was filming in New York for a movie. And, I used to stand on the balcony of my hotel room and wish that, 'One day, wouldn't it be nice if I was together with her, married. Years later, we were there for the premiere of Guru. After the premiere, we were back in the hotel. So, I took her to the very same balcony, and I asked her to marry me.”

While in one of her interviews, Aishwarya laughed and recalled that Abhishek proposed to her with a studio prop from the sets of Guru, and not an actual diamond ring. And this is what she felt about him, “He is original and real, like our relationship. There is nothing predictable or boring about our life. We nurture each other. The gesture was spontaneous and meaningful. God has been kind to us. We can certainly afford those standard rocks. But do we need them?”

Their courtship period
After the formal proposal, the two flew back to Mumbai and got engaged on January 14, 2007, at the Bachchan’s residence. Thereafter, both the actors became a little more open about their relationship. They were even spotted going to the movies and night clubs together. Aishwarya also started visiting the Bachchans more often.

The ups and downs in their relationship
But, everything did not turn out to be as smooth as the story goes until now. There were a few turbulences that came their way before they tied the knot. The first one was the news of Aishwarya having a Manglik Dosh in her kundali. Hence, she was first required to marry a tree to get rid of the Manglik Dosh.

A famous Brahmin Vedic had said, “Aishwarya will have to marry either a peepal or banana tree or with an idol of Lord Vishnu (of gold or silver), in case she is manglik. Kumbh Vivah (the ritual of marrying tree to ward off evil effects of being Manglik) is performed for manglik girls to ward off ill effects.”

The second trouble was the sizzling chemistry and a much-hyped kiss between Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya in Dhoom 2, which supposedly disturbed the Bachchans. And, the final straw to the troubles was a girl named Jhanvi Kapoor, who slashed her wrist claiming that Abhishek had promised to marry her and Ash stole him from her. This whole episode was shunned by the cops saying it was just a publicity stunt. However, nothing could stop Abhishek and Aishwarya from loving each other and being together.

The much-awaited wedding
The couple finally got married on April 20, 2007. The baarat started from one of the residences of the Bachchans, Jalsa, to their other house, Prateeksha.

The wedding was the talk of the town for quite a long time and included many famous Bollywood celebrities, politicians and businessmen as guests. After a few days post their wedding, both visited the Tirupathi temple along with the senior Bachchan, to get the almighty’s blessings.

The bond gets stronger
Today, after so many years of togetherness, they both still love each other immensely. Aishwarya said in her one of her interviews, "Abhishek is my source of inspiration. He is always so supportive. Whenever I am confused and don't know what to do, I look at him and he solves the duality in me like magic. He is the real 'Padma Shri' and I'm his 'Padma Shrimati'." She mentioned in another interview, "There has never been a single instance when I have been upset over anything. Of course, we have had tiffs for fun and he has done things to pamper me.

On the other hand, this is what Abhishek says about his ladylove, "Aishwarya is my anchor. She is my buddy, my closest friend. I can discuss anything with her. Our relationship is not based on her being Aishwarya Rai or me coming from an illustrious family. It is just about two people falling in love which has organically grown. We started during Guru. It was meant to be."

Their little bundle of joy
On November 16, 2011, Abhishek and Aishwarya welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya, into the world. Aishwarya, a doting mother, left her work to give her entire time and attention to her daughter. Now that Aaradhya is big enough, her super-gorgeous mom has already returned to work and is shooting for her upcoming flick, Jazbaa.

And, even Abhishek, leaves no stone unturned in showering his love and affection on her. When she was just 15 months old, he gifted Aaradhya a holiday home in Dubai. In fact, when it comes to parenting, this is what Abhishek has to say, “As far as I am concerned, taking care of the child is never just a mother's role. It's all about sharing responsibilities.”

The love story of this charismatic couple is truly very charming and beautiful. Because of their true love and commitment towards each other, they are surely an inspiration to a lot of young couples. We at BollywoodShaadis, wish them a life full of love, togetherness and eternal bliss!
