She
is
one
of
the
most
beautiful
faces
of
the
world.
She
is
the
jaan
of
millions.
We
are
talking
about
the
heart-throbbing
diva
Aishwarya
Rai.
Just before the release of her two big films (Umrao Jaan and Dhoom 2), Aishwarya Rai gets in an exclusive rendezvous with Simi Garewal this Sunday at 9.30 p.m. on Star World. Below are excerpts from the rendezvous.
Simi:
Stunning,
what
do
I
say?
Ash:
I
think
it's
the
work
of
the
entire
team
...
they
put
me
together..
fixed
me
up...
Simi:
8
years
..
and
we
have
a
lot
of
catching
up
to
do.
Have
you
changed
since
then?
Ash:
We
grow
with
experience
obviously..
but
in
terms
of
being
passionate
about
life
..
that's
ongoing
...
Simi:
Still
a
dreamer?
Ash:
Very
much
...
you
dream
but
you
also
work
towards
realizing
your
dream
...
Simi:
At
that
time
you
did
not
have
a
hit
film
you
know
..
and
you
were
not
even
in
love
..
wiser
now...
Ash:
That's
for
you
to
gauge...
Simi:
Wiser
since
then
...
Ash:
You
tell
me
...
Simi:
More
at
peace
now
Ash:
I
think
a
lot
more.
People
whom
I
interact
with,
all
of
you,
when
they
look
at
me
they
say
I
am
seemingly
a
lot
more
at
peace
now.
Definitely,
a
lot
more
comfortable
with
the
world
I
belong.
That
was
the
beginning,
my
world
was
broadening,
there
was
so
much
happening.
In
that
sense,
I
wanted
to
tread
carefully...
Today
it
is
my
family,
it
is
my
world
and
I
am
a
lot
more
comfortable
here...
Simi:
But
there
has
to
be
a
great
sense
of
achievement?
Ash:
I
would
be
ungrateful
to
God's
blessings
if
I
denied
that.
Simi:
You've
entered
new
worlds
and...
new
people
have
entered
your
world
as
well,
have
any
become
friends
or
are
they
just
bishops
passing
the
knights?
Ash:
Actually,
probably,
I
am
to
be
blamed..
(laughs)
Simi:
You
don't
keep
in
touch
Ash:
Look
at
you
(laughs).
Simi:
Yes,
I
know
(laughs).
Ash:
But
I
do
have
a
friend
in
you
Simi:
You
always
admired
Robert
De
Niro...
Ash:
Oh!
I
admire
him
as
an
actor.
Who
would
have
thought
that
in
my
first
trip
I
would
have
actually
got
to
meet
him.
He
just
came
so
normal..
and
then
after
a
while
he
was
actually
giving
me
advice....
Simi:
Why
are
your
performances
in
some
films
outstanding
and
in
some
forgettable
...
Ash:
(laughs)
..
it
depends
on
which
ones
your
are
calling
forgettable
..
let's
not
name
them...
Simi:
No,
we
won't
name
them
...
Ash:
But
I
agree
with
you
there
are
lot
of
them
which
are
forgettable
...
Simi:
How
did
you
feel
..
when
you
were
removed
from
these
films
...
big
films,
big
banners
...
Ash:
Ah!
I
guess
at
that
time
when
you
have
no
explanation
you
obviously
are
taken
aback
and
confused
of
course
and
you
wonder
about
it..
