Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
and
superstar
Rajinikanth
have
worked
together
in
Robot
and
despite
the
major
age
gap,
fans
loved
their
unconventional
on-screen
pairing.
We
have
brought
you
an
old
interview
of
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan,
wherein
the
actress
had
drawn
a
comparison
between
Rajinikanth
and
her
father-in-law,
Amitabh
Bachchan,
who
himself
is
a
megastar.
While
speaking
to
DNA,
Aishwarya
had
said,
"Rajini
sir,
like
Pa
(Amitabh
Bachchan),
is
a
professional
and
humility
personified.
There
was
no
age
factor.
They
are
both
legendary
actors
due
to
their
body
of
work.
Hence,
their
cinema
becomes
exciting
to
the
viewers.
Rajini
sir's
humility
is
a
lesson
to
learn."
During
the
same
interview,
Aishwarya
had
also
sent
a
message
loud
and
clear
to
the
media
that
actresses
don't
work
in
the
south
Indian
film
industry
because
of
unavailability
of
work
in
Bollywood
but
because
of
the
fact
that
they
love
the
scripts,
which
are
offered
to
them
by
the
south
directors.
She
had
said,
"There
is
a
misconception
that
people
do
movies
down
south
because
they
don't
get
work
here.
But,
I
am
an
open
minded
actor.
I
sign
movies
for
the
characters
that
are
offered
to
me."
Aishwarya
had
also
spoken
about
getting
work
post
marriage
and
had
said
that
she
considers
herself
fortunate
enough
that
directors
are
still
approaching
her
with
the
scripts.
"There
have
been
actresses
who
continue
to
work
post
marriage
and
you
can
pull
out
several
names
in
different
decades.
However,
in
the
recent
times
it
was
becoming
a
pre-conceived
idea
that
probably
leading
ladies
would
not
continue
to
work.
I
never
paid
attention
to
this
even
as
a
single
girl."
"I
am
fortunate
to
have
met
like-minded
professionals.
I
may
want
to
work
after
marriage,
but
there
should
be
directors
who
want
to
work
with
me.
My
faith
has
been
kept
by
the
people
I
worked
with.
Nobody
changed
their
mind.
Directors
came
to
me
with
scripts," had
concluded
the
Devdas
actress.
