TORONTO GOES BOLLYWOOD

rai-toronto.jpg

Bollywood North could be in for a superstar showdown next year.

Mega-stars Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan are in Toronto today to unveil a star-studded affair coming to two major Canadian cities in 2008.

While it seems Toronto could likely support two major Bollywood events at the same time, sources claim the simultaneous productions could face other problems. The rumoured rift between the two Bollywood dynasties — the Khans and the Bachchans — regularly makes headlines in India.

Yes, celebrity feuds are universal — not just a homegrown phenomenon.

    She is pretty but her face is painted 2 inches thick. I would venture to say pretty average without all that hoopla.

    She was ms.world and is naturally beautiful without any makeup. Search for aishwarya rai ob google.

    ^I don’t need to search for it team b - I’ve been a fan of bollywood since I was a kid and could probably tell you more than even YOU know. And by the way, a search for her name turns up many accounts of her questionable tactics in getting and staying on top (pretty will only get you so far - the girl isn’t THAT talented). Again, LEGENDARY for anyone who KNOWS Bollywood. She’s a whore. Beautiful. But a whore. Period.

    You guys crack me up. If she were a man you’d call her a “ladie’s man” but since she female you gotta denigrate her. Ger your ass out of the twentieth century supernova.

    ^How incredibly naive and childish of you to think that the entertainment business is full of hardworking people who get by on merits and talent alone. I’ve worked in LA in the film and tv business for years with producers and heads of studios. It thrives on people (on BOTH sides of the fence - men, women - actors and studio execs) doing any and everything they have to do to get to the top as much as it thrives on people like you who are so fucking naive that you buy into the bullshit (like Britney Spears being talented and sexy). There are people who make it on the merits of her talent - she’s not one of them. She had a lot of help by using her beauty and sexuality. And THAT will NEVER go away. Grow up sweetheart. You’re not in Kansas anymore.

    Agree with you supernova. It’s not that strange for celebs to have a shady past when it comes to how they got where they are today. This is Hollywood and nobody has a perfect past….a lot of people who get praised and even called ‘boring’ and ‘goody-goody’ have some secrets that aren’t so boring. I’ve heard things about Aishwarya as well but you don’t have to beleive it if you don’t want to. She’s a beautiful lady of course but there are a lot of beautiful ladies out there.

    I was brought up watching Bollywood movies (parents come from Southern Asia) and I’ve heard quite a few rumours surrounding Aish and the casting couch, so what supernova is saying isn’t actually recent at all.

    BTW. most people in Bollywood get into the industry through two means - sex or nepotism.

    Know her personally? I do and very well. Nevertheless - she is what she is - gorgeous, lovely and kind. Very happily married and on top of the world.

    she is def beautiful - don’t think too many people would disagree with that (as far as her happiness in her marriage - I NEVER comment on whether a married couple is actually happy — life’s experience has taught me THAT would be naive - LoL.)

    Supernova, what does all that spewage have to do with your misogyny? I don’t care that she had help or even if she slept her way to the top. That was not the point of my post. Where on earth did you get the idea that I believed that the entertainment industry was filed with talented people?

    You’re not the only one who’s worked in the film industry and lives in LA. I am not pretending that what you are musing about doesn’t happen and didn’t happen with her. My point is that if she were male, you’d probably not really care that much if she slept around.

    That is all - rant away little man.

    Ren, I agree with you; let’s say that she slept her way to the top. SO WHAT? WHO CARES?
    Have more sex people.

    I have read many non-Indian and people who are not familiar with bollywood commenting on Bollywood actresses in particular, Ash. Many, almost 99% of them are confused. They say, “Hey I read Ash slept with so and so” when in truth, it WASNT Ash, it was SOMEONE ELSE. Also, I have come across people posting pictures of “THE UGLY ASH” or the “SEXY, BITCHY ASH”

    when in fact those are pictures of ANOTHER bollywood actress, not hers!

    People, couldnt you tell the difference?

    I think he is a sexy beast. And I think she is pretty but not as big a deal as the world makes her out to be.

    Ren - you ignorant slut (to quote one of my favorite Saturday Night Live characters). Your second post only underscores the ignorance and hypocracy so prevelant in your first post. First, you CLEARLY are guilty of doing the very thing that you claim I’m doing (only in reverse). If we WERE talking about a man and calling him a ho, I doubt very much you’d be so gallantly coming to his rescue the way you are this for this beautiful woman. Second, you made all kinds of stupid, ass-backwards assumptions about people here by saying we wouldn’t be as critical as about a man — ready my old posts bitch - it’s clear I don’t have that bias. There’s a post from yesterday about the actor Adrienne-whats-his-face from Entourage fucking around with Paris Hilton and I dragged his hairy ass through the coals - so your WRONG there too. THIRD, I’m not a man you turd - I”M A WOMAN. Boy, you’re about as dumb as they come. You told me to get my “ass out of the 20th Century” — well, I’ll thank you to get your fat head out of your narrow ass. And finally, if you have such a problem with someone criticizing a celebrity, THEN YOU’RE ON THE WRONG FUCKING WEBSITE.
