Aishwarya wants a body double!
By Our Correspondent ©2004 Bollyvista.com

That Aishwarya Rai was offered a Bond film turned out to be a rumour planted by her secretary, or so we were told. But Aishwarya, we hear, is claiming that a casting agent indeed approached her to play Brosnan's lady in his next film after the star saw her on the cover of 'Time' and then at a party. However, Ash is clear that she will not have sex on screen with Brosnan and would like a body double to perform the needful! Why? Because her Indian upbringing and sensibilities don't permit her to do so!!


:baaa: :keh: :hmm:

Although she says this now, I remember seeing an interview with her on BBC world news a few months back, where she says she wouldn't mind doing these 'naughty' scenes as long as it's essential to the script, if she's comfortable..blah blah blah. She was trying to get into international films after cannes and she has secured a role in a French directors film playing an algerian prositute.
I guess she's changed her mind again! Or her mother told her off for talking too much. :D

i think she deserves more zeroes in her contract then either Big B(aby) or the sunnier (and heavier) Deol as she looks more pleasing and is more nimble on her feet than both. She also dresses well and pulls off a sari better than fatso and fogey. :oops: Since Hindi films are mostly about looking good and dancing well anyway, she gets my Big Vote over the two dinosaurs. What has this topic got anything to do with dinosaurs anyway? I dunno...ask Salman Khan. :stupid:

Of Aishwaria Rai and Kissing James Bond
By: Siddharth Srivastava
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recently, India’s top actress Aishwaria Rai has been approached to play the Bond girl opposite Pierce Brosnan, a matter of pride for the entire sub-continent.

In interviews that have followed, Rai has been asked the same question --- will she kiss James Bond, as most Bond girls do, quite willingly.

Rai has been circumspect. She knows the Indian media too well. Even an unsuspecting remark could be a headline: ``Rai will kiss Brosnan,’’ or ``Rai prepared to bond with Bond,’’ or ``Rai will go all the way.’’

Rai told the British press that has agreed to appear in the next James Bond film if its producers agree to use a body double for the sex scenes. She told the British press that her strict upbringing meant there was no question of her doing anything saucy. ``I´ve said I will do the film if there is a body double. The producers have said they will have to ask Pierce,’’ she said. Pierce couldn’t be happy.

The focus here though has been on the kiss, as most writers have ruled out sex, as has Rai. Indeed, a top Bollywood actress kissing on the screen is as close as going all the way. Handsome as Brosnan may be, Rai’s answers have been neutral, ``I have not thought about it’’ to ``we will have to wait and see, I have made no such commitments.’’

A kiss in this country is big deal.

It has affected relations between India and Pakistan, although at most times it takes much less. A furor was created a couple of years back when prominent author Khuswant Singh planted a party peck on the daughter of the then Pakistani High Commissioner Qazi. The tenuous India-Pakistan relations took a further tumble. Qazi scurried off to Islamabad to kiss the feet of then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif feet, explaining that the whole of Pakistan need not be outraged.

Worldwide, of course, a kiss always makes news, that is given prominent coverage here. Bill Clinton´s went as far as regularly kissing Hillary on the forehead. Didn’t feel the need to go any further. Tennis world no 1 Andre Agassi likes to plant sweaty lingering kisses on his wife Steffi Graf between shots and games. She doesn’t seem to mind. Not too long ago Agassi did it to Brooke Shields, who also did not seem to mind. Continuing with the tennis world the William sisters are regularly planted a `fatherly kiss´ by their father, in appreciation of the good work they are putting in. In the runaway hit Pretty Woman Julia Roberts most `personal kiss´ happened to be on the mouth, although she uses the same on every other part of Richard Gere´s anatomy.

Indian girls have been in the news for ``kissing indiscretions’’ that have not gone down too well with the population. Young, over-eager and beautiful actress Padmini Kholapure´s went ``all the way’’ with Prince Charles. Charles was in the news again in India for the `not-so-eager kiss´ by the late Princess Diana that sent the tabloids into a tizzy. There was actress Shabana Azmi planting a `freedom kiss´ on Nelson Mandela, which caused a lot of heartburn.

We are a liberal country, not in the mould of Pakistan, but are as bad when our women kiss or are kissed by men who don’t belong here. The only instance of public kissing here involves foreigners.

There is always a crowd of hangers-on who accumulate for a close-up of the action, which can happen on a street or a market place. The big question, however, remains.

With Internet porn, explicit pictures and video are just a click away. Why, then, is kissing such an issue in the land of Kamasutra and Khajuraho?

There have been several explanations.

First, is the stereotype of the Hindi movies, the most popular mass culture phenomenon, apart from cricket. There is no scope for kissing in cricket, as only men play it, and mostly men watch it.

In the Hindi movies the kiss is a really big happening, if at all it happens. Hindi songs are not only about running around trees, but also gyrations that approximate making love with clothes on and from a distance. But, when it comes to a real kiss, the world shakes and the heavens come down.

A recent example that attracted attention was the `rain kiss´ in the movie Raja Hindustani in which the two top stars Karishma Kapoor and Aamir Khan kiss each other. The clouds thundered, lightening struck and the rain grew heavier, as the lips embraced. The common explanation by producers and directors as well as the censor board is Hindi movies are family outings; so kissing is a no-no. But, the most brutal violence on screen escapes any cuts.

Recent crossover movies aimed at the NRIs and the English speaking urban audiences are bolder. One had the pleasure of watching the absolutely ravishing Lisa Ray kissing in Bollywood Hollywood. There were a number of full-throated scenes with Rahul Khanna, well shot with Lisa putting up a sterling performance. Then there was this movie called Khwaish that was released a few months ago. It stars two new comers who are being actively sought due to the 17 kissing scenes in the movie.

Recent surveys have indicated that promiscuity as well as frequency of sex among Indians is on the rise. Yet, it is not as if smooching happens in public places here.

Another reason is the laws that prosecute for public obscenity including kissing. Indian cops, generally a lethargic lot, are eagle-eyed about couples on the loose in gardens, parks, cars or any corner.

It’s the easiest money-earner.

One more explanation, far-fetched though, is the weather. It is hot most of the time, requiring air-conditioning for kissing in the open.

The writer, however, attributes it to kiss-met, of bad karma in the past, that has resulted in kisses being such misses in this great nation.

Ash's Agents side of the story:

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/arti ... 409884.cms

Agents deny Ash is Bond girl
DOMINIC FERRAO/INDIATIMES MOVIES

[ WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 07, 2004 04:02:26 PM ]

With all those rumours about Aishwarya insisting on a body double for the revealing scenes in the next Bond film before she signed on the dotted line, we decided to do a reality check.


When we got in touch directly with Aishwarya's US agents, this is what they came up with. Aishwarya herself was out of town shooting in Coorg for the Sameer Karnik film Kyon Ho Gaya Na .


Is it true that Ash has insisted on a body double for the revealing scenes in the Bond movie?


This is absolutely untrue. The entire James Bond situation is nothing more than a rumour. Ash is not the next Bond girl...There is no James Bond script in hand.


Is it true that Pierce Brosnan met her personally? What did they talk about?


Ash did not meet Pierce Brosnan at a Hollywood party, and no casting director has contacted us with any offer. No matter how many times the press insists that she is starring in Bond, we must continually correct the statement and confirm the fact.


Is it not a drastic step for Aishwarya to refuse an Aamir film? How does she justify it?


Ash wanted very much to work with Aamir Khan, however, her character in ' The Rising 's script was underdeveloped and unacceptable. Hopefully, in the future she will have another opportunity to work opposite Aamir Khan.


Is Aishwarya looking at signing any other foreign films? If so, could you give us some details on them?


Contact me in 2 weeks. We are currently in final negotiations on a major studio film for Warner Bros Studio.

It was just a HOAX:

Ash is not to Bond with James

By IndiaFM News Bureau, January 08th, 2004 - 1200 hrs IST


Just a couple of days back, there were tremendous speculations among the media that Aishwarya Rai would be the next Bond girl. And this is not the first time that the media has linked Ash with Bond. Gossipmongers were spreading similar rumors in early 2003. Moreover this time around, the rumor-mills have even gone one step further claiming that Aishwarya has even insisted for a body double to do with the revealing scenes in the Bond film.

Setting all the deceiving claims aside, Ash's US agents clarified that Aishwarya is not doing any Bond film. Neither do they have any James Bond script in hand nor have they been contacted by any Hollywood casting directors. Also there is no truth-value in the news that Aishwarya had met the 007 agent, Pierce Brosnan at a Hollywood party.

You can call Salman Khan a dinosaur or whatever you want it will not hurt him..He has so many fans in Pakistan that you cannot even count them..

Even by Indian standards, Salman Khan is a terrible actor and one of the most disliked person in the Industry. The fact that Aishwarya was even with him for part of her life, is even more reason to dislike her and even Aish was even ahamed to admit she was dating Salman.

And if Salman has so many fans in pakistan, well...they can have him!
:D

It's funny that my main reason for disliking Aish is that she fell for a no-good looser like Salman. I can't fathom what she saw in him. If I had a sister, I would rather have her marry a local Bihar paanwala than an idiot like Salman.

As for the fans thing, I believe you in that Salman has lots of fans in Pakistan. But I think we have to look on a bigger scale here, and worldwide, Aish has by far a larger fan base.
