Jaya thinks Aishwairya deserved an Award!

A lot has been said and written about Ashutosh Gowariker’s outburst against Priyanka Chopra’s best actress award at the IIFA in Macau.

While most sections of the industry have come forward to deride Ashu for what they see as his childish and impulsive outburst, the one aspect of his criticism against the IIFA jury awarding Priyanka and not Aishwarya Rai Bachchan the award that has raised the most eyebrows
is his mention of Mrs Bachchan on stage to endorse and substantiate his public objection to Priyanka’s trophy.

Surprisingly, the ever-forthright first-lady of the industry not only stands up for Gowariker but also gives him a clean chit for mentioning her in his pro-Aishwarya speech. Reluctant to speak on the matter Jaya when persuaded finally opens up. “First of all it is being presumed that Ashutosh unnecessarily mentioned my name regarding Aishwarya’s omission from the awards. The fact is, I suggested he bring up the question on stage at IIFA. We were discussing why Aishwarya has not been given any award for Jodhaa-Akbar and I suggested Ashutosh bring up the matter. So when he mentioned my name he wasn’t doing anything wrong.”

Warming up to the subject of Aishwarya’s performance in Jodhaa-Akbar Jaya says, “The entire principal cast and crew of Jodhaa-Akbar have been rightly nominated for the popular awards and have won also. I find it very strange that Aishwarya who lived her part and looked
every inch the royal Rajasthani queen in her body language and overall performance was ignored.”

The frank and ever-forthright Jaya makes it very clear she has nothing against Priyanka’s performance in Fashion.

For she must be really good in Fashion and Priyanka’s work in Dostana was certainly good and Jaya liked it. She’s undoubtedly a good actress and so no qualms of her winning the IIFA. But what was disturbing was that why Aishwarya’s fine performance was ignored.

"I think she and the Jodhaa-Akbar cinematographer Kiran Deohans richly deserved recognition for their work", said Jaya Bachchan.

Bride and Prejudice hottie-Aishwarya

Taking her Bollywood charm abroad, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was spotted arriving at the 2009 International Indian Film Academy Awards in Macau, China.

The Bride and Prejudice hottie looked lovely as she posed for the paparazzi at the Venetian Macao Hotel and Resort sporting a sleeveless black and grey dress with black peep-toe heels.

One of the hottest ladies in the Indian film industry, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has quite the full plate of upcoming projects to speak of. Later this year, she’ll be starring in Crooked, Endhiran, Raavana and Action Replay, followed by Singularity and Bhopal in 2010.

Sallu to perform infront of Aishwarya

Bollywood's handsome dude, Salman Khan is going through quite a rough patch after a number of flops and learning from Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, Salman has taken upon himself the promotion of his latest film, 'Wanted', on which rests his comeback.

It is old news that smart hunk Salman Khan has assured the producer Boney Kapoor of all co-operation in order to promote his action extravaganza. There is a strong news that Salman Khan is all ready to perform at the upcoming IIFA at Macau, along with the dancing sensation and director of 'Wanted' Prabhu Devaa.

Amitabh Bachchan being the IIFA brand ambassador will be present along with his whole family, son Abhishek Bachchan and daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. And if Salman goes ahead with his promotion at IIFA in Macau, it would mean that he would literally have to dance in front of Aishwarya !!
