AISHWARYA RAI FORBES INTERVIEW!

Saturday, September 3rd, 2005

After ‘Winfrey Oprah Talk Show‘ and ‘US television show 60 Minutes’ came Aishwarya Rai interview in FORBES Magazine.

QSo, is there any truth to the rumor about you being an upcoming Bond girl?

Aishwarya Rai: Oh, that’s a rumor! That rumor should get a lifetime achievement award, man! At the time that it started, there wasn’t even a script, there wasn’t a James Bond.

It all started, supposedly, with some people who had come down to India to meet me regarding it. But that was the time when I met with the accident, so the meeting didn’t really come about. But it managed to make it to the headlines! [laughter]

QHow about the set conditions on an Indian film production? You were injured a while ago…

Aishwarya Rai:Well, yes. Things are changing, fortunately, more in recent years here.

QI mean, you’ve had a long career…

Aishwarya Rai:Yes, this is my tenth year now, so things have changed within this span of time — so drastically that when I look at the work done when I just joined, it’s like, “Oh my God!” So much has changed in these ten years. You get to see how you’re part of the process of change within the Indian film industry. That’s all positive, that’s all a good sign.

We’ve found ourselves very often saying that we were toughened. We can work in any conditions in any part of the world [laughter], because we’ve kind of worked in such dire situations. It’s incredible training, because you don’t get so easily thrown or unsettled in situations.

QWhat was the first sense of the superstardom that you experienced when you were in India? Was there a drastic change?

Aishwarya Rai:[Laughter] Oh yes, after Miss World. It’s such an intense experience, and everyone kind of gets into it with such. . . fervor. And for me, it was just. . . I was a student, and I had done a couple of modeling assignments, and so I just participated in Miss India. Only after having won Miss India did I know I had the opportunity to go to Miss World.

But in terms of my approach, when I went for it, I was like, “Oh, wait a minute, this is my one chance, and I’m representing my country.” You go around not with just your name but with your country’s name around you.

So to me, in my head, that was huge. That was like, “Hey, I’m not going to participate in the Olympics, so here I am, representing my country!” And that means a lot to me.

QAbsolutely. Like it or not, if you’re spearheading that, you’re representing your country as well.

Yes, and that’s something I want to do. That’s what I found myself doing then too — representing the Indian person or the Indian woman at the age of 20, 21.

QIn terms of being a woman in India, what is your opinion on the treatment of women in business and otherwise?

Aishwarya Rai:Society has been defined a certain way from time immemorial for all of us. We all know the kind of eases and the trials that we could all be faced with — in any strata, in any profession. So, I think rather than feeling persecuted that you’re meeting up with a challenge simply because of the gender you belong to, I think it’s important to face the challenge for what it is and have your convictions together.

It isn’t always easy, and, thereby, I think the biggest strength lies in one’s ability to say “no.”

QWhat advice would you give aspiring professionals?

Aishwarya Rai:My biggest concern is always the students who are working toward a certain career — when they limit themselves to just that one option. They need to know that the world is huge — it’s an ocean, and there are so many options. It’s not the end of the world if they don’t get to pursue an apparent childhood dream.

That’s really important, because you find a lot of kids who believe that they want to become a doctor or an aeronautical engineer or something, and if they don’t manage to make their degree, that’s the end. They feel so defeated, which is very disheartening. It’s sad to know that people let themselves be limited by these aspirations.

QOprah Winfrey recently asked you to be on her show. What was that like? She is the first African-American woman to make Forbes’ World’s Richest People list.

Aishwarya Rai:I know, I know! She is a fascinating lady, and I’ve always enjoyed watching her on tele. This came about so quickly, and it was a pleasant surprise. I was really, really happy to meet her, because I think she is incredible.

Apart from her incredible achievements, also for her — as a person, as a woman, and the difference she makes by touching so many people’s lives. You respect the fact that, OK, that is her business, and she’s done an incredible job. That’s wonderful!

And her, I mean, even when I met her — the warmth she exudes. Her personality is just wonderful. I was just so happy to meet her. She’s an inspiration.

Aishwarya Rai in Winfray Oprah TV Talk Show!

Sunday, July 10th, 2005

A lot of people say 30-year-old Aishwarya Rai is the most beautiful woman on the planet. This former Miss World is the international face of L’Oreal, Coca-Cola and DeBeers diamonds. She’s also the number one box office film star in the world. The movies made in Bollywood—India’s Hollywood and the film capital of the world—reach more than five billion people worldwide, twice that of Hollywood.

This Bollywood beauty is a shrewd businesswoman, raking in the American equivalent of about $15 million a film. But you will not see sex in her movies. Not even a kiss. “I come from the land of the Kama Sutra,” Aishwarya says. “So we obviously do have a normal, healthy sex life. [Kissing] is a more private expression of emotions. So I guess art imitates life and that kind of comes across in our cinema as well.”

Oprah: I think you’re gorgeous. When you look at yourself, do you see that?

Aishwarya Rai: To me, beautiful is as beautiful does. I think that’s what speaks volumes. It isn’t about the apparent gig. It’s about what you do.

Aishwarya Rai - The Most beatiful Indian and Miss World 1994Wholesome and deeply religious, Ash, as she’s known, is fashionably hip and quite sexy. “Actually,” she says, “I don’t think I’m really into setting trends or following trends. I just do my own thing.” She loves traditional saris like this one she brought for Oprah. “It’s very sensual!” Oprah says.

Ash also follows tradition and lives at home with her parents like most single Indian women. “Back home, you’re a loser if you say, ‘Mom, I’m out of here,’” Ash says. “In India it’s more about the family, about living together, about remaining connected, and that’s probably the most beautiful special thing about it.”

Oprah: We did a show recently where we were looking at women around the world, and we were talking to French women at a cafe. … They said [Americans] are all fat.

Aishwarya Rai: I’m from India, I wouldn’t say that because Indian people, Indian people eat well, we’re well endowed.

Oprah: Do they say we’re rude?

Aishwarya Rai: No, Indian people are very hospitable.

Oprah: Do they say we talk too much?

Aishwarya Rai: Opinionated maybe.

Oprah: Do they say we get a lot of divorces?

Aishwarya Rai: Ah, that could be a discussion.

Oprah: You know what, you could be a diplomat!
