A
Popular
Brand
Wants
To
Replace
Aishwarya?
A
leading
entertainment
portal
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"Aishwarya
has
been
the
face
of
the
brand
for
several
years
now.
However,
they
now
want
a
much-younger
and
an
equally
popular
(if
not
more)
actress
on
board."
It's
Priyanka
VS
Aishwarya
Adds
the
source,
"Looking
at
Priyanka's
increasing
popularity
in
Hollywood,
the
brand
decided
to
get
her
on
board.
In
fact,
they
have
had
a
meeting
with
the
actress
as
well
and
formalities
are
being
worked
out
at
the
moment.
Interestingly,
PeeCee
has
increased
her
remuneration
post
her
international
project,
but
the
brand
is
getting
ready
to
meet
her
demands."
Aishwarya
On
Priyanka
Not
so
long
ago,
in
her
interview
with
Filmfare,
the
magazine
had
asked
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
to
comment
on
this,
"You've
been
one
of
our
first
global
icons.
Now
actors
like
Priyanka
Chopra
and
Deepika
Padukone
are
taking
the
legacy
forward..."
"Everybody
Has
Done
Work
Beyond
Hindi
Cinema"
She
had
said,
"I'm
not
going
to
make
any
proclamations
and
delude
myself
that
I
was
the
first.
I
enjoyed
the
recognition
that
came
with
the
opportunities.
There
were
many
before
me.
Shabanaji
(Azmi),
Amrish
Puriji,
Kabir
Bediji,
Naseer
saab,
Om
Puriji.
Everybody
has
done
work
beyond
Hindi
cinema."
"We
Grew
Up
On
Hindi
Cinema"
She
added,
"I
enjoy
cinema.
We
grew
up
on
Hindi
cinema.
Right
from
the
onset
I've
worked
in
Tamil
and
Bengali
cinema.
I
was
open
to
Telugu
and
Malayalam
cinema
but
it
never
came
to
be."
"Suddenly
I
Was
On
The
Covers
Of
Prestigious
Magazines"
"Suddenly
I
was
on
the
covers
of
prestigious
magazines.
Devdas
was
celebrated
at
Cannes
and
I
got
the
opportunity
to
be
the
first
Indian
actor
on
the
jury
of
the
festival.
So
a
couple
of
firsts
happened
in
my
life.
It
might
seem
like
I'm
the
first
but
there
were
many
others
before
me.
Life's
been
kind
that
I
got
to
enjoy
those
adages
and
recognition.
My
life
is
enriched
with
all
these
experiences."
Both
Aish
&
PeeCee
Has
Come
A
Long
Way
Going
by
Aishwarya
Rai's
words,
one
can
say
that
she
has
come
a
long
way
and
so
does
Priyanka
Chopra!
However,
if
Priyanka
replaces
Aishwarya,
many
Aish
fans
will
be
left
heartbroken.
Now,
we
have
to
see
whether
Priyanka
will
take
the
final
call
or
not.
Recently
Sonam
Replaced
Aishwarya
On
a
related
note,
recently,
actress
Sonam
Kapoor
had
replaced
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
as
the
face
of
popular
jewellery
brand,
Kalyan
Jewellers.
We
wonder,
what
Aishwarya
has
to
say
on
the
same!
