when is this movie scheduled to release?

what movie?

bride and prejudice


Is the movie set in england or india, and is thr movie similer to the book Brideand prejudice.

I am looking forward to catching this one on the screen. It will be interesting how Aishwarya carries it off against a 'firang' hero!

it is set to come out in the states around november of 2004, while in Europe around june to selected audiences. I CAN'T WAIT

Did Gurinder Chaddha have no other for the role of Elizabeth..i mean come on..Ash cannot act to save her life..Priety zinta would have been a much better choice....

here im big fan of ASH.
im dying to watch the movie when is it going to release in singapore. Yes absolute that ASH is the perfect one to act in this movies. She's improve alot in her acting she so versatile that she can dance gracefully beside madhuri the reason y some of them doesnt like or favour her because of her natural beauty peole are jealous of. by the way u have my support go girl and i know is goin to be super duber hit.

ppl of jealous of aish. hehehe. i saw her at cannes. seriously she is this girl trying to act like white, she wear colour contacts, put white foundation and go agianst her own values. get real, i am sure india have beautiful girls better than her and happy of who they are. if u wanna see beauty see it without makeup, like maria sharipova the girl who won wimbledon, she was without makeup and was sweating , but still look nice.

I totally agree Stephanie i think ash she fake i think shes not beautiful and can't act at all

i think ash is naturally very beautiful and its sooooo obvious she does not wear colour contacts her eyes are very much natural and about her acting if she cant act is that y she won a filmfare award 4 devdas alongside so many other films?u have to to admit she a girl with good looks and talent!

Ash can defin' act! Although I would have preferred to see Karishma Kapoor in the main role because that girl KNOWS what acting is! Is Ash pretty? Open to debate, but I think she is, I mean despite the makeup the girl would look good anyway. And the clincher here? she can dance, how many of us can say we can do that?! as long as people enjoy watching her that's what makes her a cut above the rest, do you think she cares what people say? No, because she makes millions!!! Hope you all have a nice day, back to studying for me...

Hello,
Totally agree with tiana, I think Ash is a true icon for Indian girls around, she is so femine, sophisticated and elegantly presents herself. As 4 her acting, I always look 4ward to seeing her films...she has her own uniqueness in portraying each character she plays. Great job Ash...wish u all the best in every single movie.

Hey does anyone know when the movie is being released in Singapore?

Hey does anyone know when the movie is being released in Singapore?

itss all abou t marriage

i dont know whats wrong with few people.....but the fact is...i dont give a shit about who is how or who is who...
aishu is an indian and so am i...she had represent us indian to the world and won us all fame and glory. She's a good dancer and she is trying her best level to act well so why dont we just wait and see and enjoy the movies instead of condemning and complaining...are those people that complaints alot are the perfect ones?
ARE U PERFECT!!!!so why complain about others.....
well there's this saying that people who complains and gossip about others are a bunch of losers. so better go look at ur own reflection in the mirror u bunch of naggers.....have a nice day...

hey aishu waz goin on these dayz??? i'm yuh biggest fan 13yrs i'm rrreeeaaalll happy for you well i'm goin to buy this movie now latez :+)

RE: ...she had represent us indian to the world and won us all fame and glory.

Fame and glory---please....In Canada, we watched this movie in November 2004---Yes a long time before it was released and it SUX!!!
Bend it like Beckham was a thousand times better!

Alot of my friends (they are brown) and were born here do not even know who Ashwarya rai is?

I have read and heard of Canadians & Americans who are saying there are alot more beautiful people in this world then some immature 31 year old who cannot even act!!!

Also keep in mind, people who post their opinions have every right too and for you immature people out there it does not mean we are jealous or haters! We are brave enough to speak our mind!

Mother Theresa was beautiful in every way did she NOT represent India? And she did not do everything she did to be known everywhere and to make herself alot of $$$.

Now if India had more beautiful people like Mother Theresa I think your country would be winning you fame and glory all over the world!

It's sad to even read what you have typed---Some model turned actress who does not have the ability to even act has won India fame and glory by promoting her already flopped movie in the land of America where people cannot even pronounce her name and obviously will never remember it!

It's not like she is the next Halle Berry?

We have seen her interview with Letterman and she was soo cocky! Is this the fame and glory India is talking about?

Even directors in your country say that she spends way too much time on her appearance then her ability to act----I think this fame you talk about is about to die down pretty fast.......

Later,

damn you guys are just fucking jealous..aishwarias hott and u guys prolly wish u guys looked like her..and for those of u saying she can't act..umm she's the one making lost of money and lots of movies and ur not..she has looks and talent plain and simple...

first of all she is pretty ugly lookin gurl seriously have u eva seen her without makeup i mean com on ppl r not blind. she doesn't know how to act and she can't even define act

i cannot go with any of u ,especially ren because how is she possibly representing india, yeah wearing those kind of clothes showing 75% of her body yeah thats how u represent ur country thats just creepy.with that atitude she thinks she all preety but somebody needs to remind her.she is taking pictures with public and have a wierd look on her face. she should try to loose her atitude it might help her making fans lets talk about talent now, everybody has some kind of talent and ya ppl shouldn't be talking abt it even though in movies she has a wierd lookin face but other actresses doesn't have a face like that.got it

well first of all i think that ash is a great idol for women and girls but if she may loose that atitude and stop her concietness mayb she'll have more fans to her list and pleeeeeeze stop tryin to go to hollywood i think u act pretty ok but that doesnt make me a huge fan of hers u have tons of fans in bollywood and u should stick top work over there!!

hello dere, ash is reel good. i admit the movie was not as good as bend it like bekham or n thing but that doesnt mean it is all ashes fault. shes a gurl/lady that does what she is told and recieves money. she needs the layers of makeup to earn her living and what da hell is ur problem if she does. cmon movies are for entertainment, SO ENJOY!!!

i havent seen da movie, so pls keep da details low!!!!! PLEEEEEEEEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U guys r just jealous cos EVEN if u ever wear that much make-up u still wont look half as good as aishwarya. dont all actresses and models wear make-up at least aishwarya looks good with it. EVERYONE WEARS MAKE-UP. GET OVER IT!!! i live in sydney and most of the girls in my high skool where layers of foundation 2 skool. and wats this about showing too much skin? we r all animals, we evolved from freakin monkeys and i dont see monkeys jumpin around wearing 10 layers of clothing. and so wat if no1 can pronounce her name, can they pronounce UR name? wats in a name neway? a rose by ne other name would still smell as sweet, just lyk aish would b gorgoeus no matter wat her name was.

Jessica is sooooooooo rite! u go gurl. i mean exactly wats in a name. try pronounce myn. well also in my skool chiks wear layers of makeup. y dont u go fix sometin up wit dem instead of starting up a riot about ash. shes pretty smart and has a job abd is living alife. guys hu dont agree go find a life before sayin nthing

i think that ash is a global icon to the citizens of india and is a fantastic actor both bolly wood and hollywood why are we judging other people? just becuase of he fame go for it ash i think you were absolutly great in the Loreal and Coca Cola Advert all the best wishes

ash is a very nice looking women, and talking about her makeup. every girl and women wears makeup. she is better looking than halle berry. halle berry aint all that , but ash is just look into her eyez you'll see and if she couldnt act why is she famous??????????????????????????SO PLEASE GIRLS STOP HATING , DONT HATE THE PLAYA HATE THE GAME!:)

my bad i didnt think it will show up this much well remember gurls dont hate

who ever is talkin' bad abt ASH r so jealous.......i think wat ever she did in her life it's gonna take u guyzz million years tooo do tht.... so just shut uppp and think of ur own life alriteeee.... i'm just a big fan of ASh and i think she should merry Vivek because he's the only person who can love her more than his life.....

Well Aishwarya Rai is beautiful but i prefer Madhuri Dixit

hi i'm from ga atlanta, i saw the previews. does anyone know when this movie coming out in atlanta, ga. or when it comes out on dvd or rent places like blockbuster or some other kind.

Hi,

I like Aishwarya Rai as i love myself,if anyone asks me to choose Ais or other once, i always tell them as please i do not compare two eyes.When a person is coming up others will be always JJJJJJJJJJJJ , because they can not take her place , that place or platform is made for only her i really mean it from my loving heart.As i pray to God everyday for my loved once same way i pray for her also, she is filled my sole , may she goes and goes there should be no any other stones and thorns in her life . thanks.bye for now.

hi, dis topic is gettin boring leave ash alone now and talk about someone else!!!!
lol

Ash is very good actor and i can't wait for Misstresses of Spice to come out whrer she stars as a Spice Trader and Directed by Gurinda Chadha's Husband Paul Berges they also made Bend it like Beckham Go for it Ash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey, omg deres another movie with her! i dont know if ive heard of it but does it star michael douglas. i cant wait to see it
does anyone know when it is coming out
i cant to watch it!!!!
if any one knows pls tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the best movie I love all of Aishwarya Rai movie's. ok bye

I really love this movie its the bomb ashwariya rai my cuzion brother loves u !!! hiz name is eddy ! ny way bye ! luv yah :D

i dont really give a dang boutz u white people telling us indians we dont know how to act c'ome on can u guys make at least more than a hundred moves a year huh can you ? so just shuzzup ! and get out of here ! if you dont like it

Ash sucks big time, she f***ed up the movie,

Aish looks weird in western clothes. I can m ake jeans look good better than her. She is flabby around the tummy. She is pretty but she doesnt represent Indian beauty to me. Last time I checked Indians were brown. Its sad that ignorant fobby Indians look up to her. It shows they are more superficial. You would think in america that superficiality would rule over an actor or actresses performance. But it doesnt. It took yeaaaaaaars for Hally berry to win her oscar. She was always pretty but her acting was never that great until she evolved and knew more about acting. In America acting is not forgotten. Those who win Oscars here truly deserves it. In india I believe it is truly a popularity contest. I don't think any Indian movie will win an Oscar in the future if the directors don't change the scripts and the actors.

i like u alot aishweria,and i think u r the most beautiful girl in this world as ur eyes and nose is like me hehehe

IN NISHAS DREAMS!!!!!!!!!

FROM THE COOL DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well i dont have anythinng to say abt aishwarya

she is extremely beautiful!!!
that too in devdas film sets
Shohani Mukherjee

why does'nt she do kannada movies ?
she is a kannadiga!!1

she's an Inspiration for me not becoz of her beauty coz she's a great actress.She has great talent in acting n she can sing. I love to do thoese things n dance!.It's great. She rox!:Plol dis is random

This chick is hot as heckkkk!!!!!! and you are all funny....lmaoooo.....omgg you girls are haters fer realz...just admit it...shes beautiful!!....any of you would die to look like her.....so blahh :P hehehe..... "whistles and waits for a comment"........

all i wanted to say is that if u look at every single damn actresses in hollywood or bollywood THEY ALL PUT ON MAKE UP...even male actors put on make up...aishwarya rai is not the only one who puts on make up......aishwarya rai does not wear color contats her eyes are naturally colored like that....if u think aishwarya rai is ugly then i wonder why she won Miss World....and she is a very good actress thats why she won sooooo many awards......ur probaly juz jealous of her beauty...even though i im a grl i think shes da most beautiful women ever.....who gives a damn if she puts on so much make up every actress does...and i bet all the grls who posted bad comments bout her putttin on to much make up u grls probaly put on make up also...all the grls who thinks shes ugly are probaly juz freakin JEALOUS

THIS ONE IS FOR PRIYA!!!
Girl u said u indians are the best coz u make more than 100 movies a year and we dont... well ur wrong... we make action movies and it takes $$$$ and time to make a good mel gibson movie and etc, u people hav good movies and all movies r just about love and any country can make more than 100 movies a year if they were about love, but american, etc movies are da best coz they are action... that'z y they r famous all over da world and 90% of the world hates indians... bye,bye

emma where did u get that percentage from? displays ur intelligence.smirk smirk!!!

Stephanie was soo right, ash is indian , brown skin so why she trina look white by puting on white foundation , she wlays wears the long dark fake eyelashes and lipliner to make her look bigger also she wears a llot of eyeliner who the fuck can people say she looks nice without makeup , u havent even seen her , i know a gal who's friend with ash and she seen her , she told me she really looks like a different person and ugly too. foundation covers ur spots and wrinkles and eyebags 2 and it changes ur face completly, how can julia roberts say that ash is the most beautiful woman in the world ' when she is not ... blu cantrel looked nice in breathe with her white foundation and aqua lenses and sooo much makeup , u should see her in diffrewnt makeup and without it omg ... idiand do not have aqua eyes n ash 100% wears colou lenses i havent even met an indian with green eyes... so what if u like her n think shes talented were talkin about beauty here and even an ugly old woman can look so nice with soooo much mkaeup. if ash is naturaly pretty then why does she always wear so much makeup. Oh n its not just about face beauty to win Miss world u know its talent too, im not jealous but it just pisses me off to see how people can say she is beaituful when they dont even know how she really looks like its makeup, even a lil bit changes ur face try it if u havent n see how magical it is lol

HEY WATS UP INDIAN PPL..How come u guyz r so ugly? .. Man.. Aishwariya must be from some other place..hehehehe..I'm just kidding..I'm a hindu myself...hahahahhaha..FUCK U !

ren, girl , jasmine, ajay, nisha and others with similar viewpoint, I agree wholeheartedly
with you guys. Keep up the good work!!

Aishwarya is not the most beautiful woman in the world, not even close. She has gorgeous, beautiful hair, yes. Aishwarya has the most beautiful hair in the world. But the most beautiful woman in the world? Sonali Bendre, Juhi Chawla, Mamta Kulkarni -all are prettier than Aishwarya.

Wow, this is so funny. People who are going on and on about being jealous are dumbasses. Yes, dumbasses. You are just embarassing yourselves by assuming such stupid shit.
Being an Indian myself, I have no clue how this lady's made us "proud". The only ones who believe that are Indians who just arrived in the U.S recently, Indians who are curry-smelling fobs living abroad, or Indians living in India.

Has she made Indians proud by: giggling like a fool? by being one of the worst actors ever?
That doesn't sound like glory to me.

Everyone's entitlted to their opinion. Just cause you are obsessed with her, do u also expect others to be? Gte a life morons. And girls who are going on and on about how "jealous" someone is just cause they dont like her, are lesbos. Chill out lesbos..
Grow up, havent learned that Everyone has different opinions? Obviously not.

Most of you obsessed losers can't even speak proper English, go back to India or something, to kiss your Aishwarya's ass.

Well, anyway. I've read a lot about how this woman is so full of herself..right from magazines to peoples' encounters. How she acts like her looks dont matter is just very funny...when in real life she acts like a stuck-up dog.

She's known for putting down Asian magazines and treating them like crap..when she acts like a little good goody to British/American magazines. I feel nothing but sorry for her. She can't give repsect to her own people who treat like God..then again, those who do treat her like one are idiots.

The only reason she gets so much publicity in India for her so-called Hollywood career is because she looks..or rather tries to look white. And she's representing India? My foot

aish is pretty but madhuri and rani are the most beautiful

I personally believe that everyone is beautiful, but it is how famous or well known a person is that a person is identified as beautiful.
ash looks pretty good in films i mean she has done films without make up and doesnt look too good but i still believe she is good looking.

plzzz people just get over it cos you and me would love to have her coloured eyes and this is all this is about.
i mean ash without blue eyes would be nothing she would look nasty (no joke)

but cos she has blue eyes she looks gorgeus.

i like her and many others
keep up the good work!

Haha I think most americans are fat and ugly...and the most beautiful women in the world are NOT americans, so take that into consideration shumaila

Ash is good looking. I have sen her at close quarters by chance and found her stunning with good skin and big eyes. She had minimal make up at that time. She has been on top for 12 years in this industry and show her power and ability.

Ok, first of all.. yes, Ash is beautiful, no doubt. But she is certainly not the most beautiful woman on Earth. And she really needs to get rid of her concieted attitude. I'm sorry, but I've seen Brazlian womem who are sooo naturally gorgeous with their exotic features, and out of the world eyes. Russian/ European girls with their light coloured hair, light eyes.. just GORGEOUS.

Ash needs to stop with the "I'm god's gift" attitude. I read her recent article.. haha, god she said she doesn't care if she works in Hollywood or not, AND that Hollywood is coming to her doorsteps begging for her? Please, straighten up your accent.. And I'm sure ANY Indian actor/ actress would want to be a hit in Hollywood. Every race watches Hollywood films. And on top of it, that means no 5000 watt lightbulbs to make her seem whiter on film.

Oh yeah.. and her movie, "Bride and Prejudice" .. that was the shittiest movie I have seen EVER in my whole life. I hope her upcoming "American" based movies are NOT like that.

OH, and my uncle is a director in India. He knows Ash personally.. he said she wears contacts, and wears ALOTTT of foundation to make herself lighter. Her eyes are BROWN. Also, didn't you guys notice her eyes were brown, I mean dark brown, NOT light brown.. in a few movies? Now tell me.. who the hell makes dark brown contacts? No contact manufacturer makes dark brown contacts, only medium/ and light brown.. which you can tell if she did wear them. And she won't take pics until she has her make up/ contacts on. That's what she did to my cousin, he wanted to take pics with her, but she refused to take pics until she "made" herself up more.

well just to let u know when ur in beauty competitions u cant wear contacts so her eyes are real and i havnt seen her without makeup im sure she isnt as pretty without makeup but she is still really pretty and she is a good actor but every indian actor tries to look lighter the whole indian society likes people who have light skin so u cant blame her the people probably tell her to wear lighter foundation

be quiet dua! your eyes and nose is so not like aishwarya's. so be quiet!

be quiet fJ aishwarya has natural blue eyes but sometimes turns green. stop lying!

I LOVE AISWARYA RAI EYE
HIS FACE ,ACTING AND LAST
HIS SMILE
OK THANKS

Aishwarya does wear contacts and heres the proof and all u losers get a life she had blue contacts on here u must be freakin blind if u cant see and all women who go for beauty pegeants are allowed to wear contacts and to do surgeries...go to global beauties.com and u would know that...Celina Jaitley wear blue contacts and she wrote in her profile that she got blue eyes hahah,,,Aishwaria and Jailtey wishes for blue eyes.....enlarge this picture and u would clearly see that these are blue contacts....

she is extremely beautiful!!!

shes ugly n i dont think she likes her own culture i mean co'mon wearin white foundation n TRYIN 2 speak english i repeat TRYIN

To clear one more thing "Julia Roberts said that Ash is unassumingly beautiful she never said that shez the most beautiful woman....

Hello, just wanted to clear some misconceptions about Ash's eye color. They are real and turquoise in color.(blue-green and sometimes change blue grey). Colored eyes are not uncommon in India. I have lived most of my life in India and have seen plenty of people with colored eyes.My first cousin brother has light colored eyes. His 2 infant sons have green-grey eyes. Marathis(people of Maharashtra state)have green eyes and grey eyes. I have seen ordinary people on the streets with greenish eyes. Kashmiris(of north India) have very fine features and very light skin with light colored eyes. btw colored eyes are not revered in India, in fact they are considered foreign and also evil-looking so the actors-actresses having colored eyes have always had a tough time in film industry in the past. They were portrayed as villains :) Light skin is considered good as is true in other cultures also. Arabs and Spanish are also group of people who have dark colored eyes as well as Caucasian features also(blonde hair, blue eyes etc.) There are other actors and actresses also with colored eyes e.g. Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan, Karishma Kapoor etc. Ms. Rai did her initial modeling wearing dark colored contacts(to make her eyes look black-brown) because people got distracted by her eyes and did not pay attention to modeling. She has acted recently in few movies(which require serious roles) wearing dark colored contacts to make her eyes look black-brown because her director wanted that so.

Pure Indians are of Dravidians race(original inhabitants). But long time back different races came and settled in India(before Christ was born):Persians,Mongolians,Greek,Jews,Portuguese etc. These people mixed with the local people and were known as Indo_aryans. All are known as Indians but the Dravidians got pushed to the South India and Indo-aryans are mostly concentrated in the North.

About her beauty: no doubt she is very beautiful and is also considered so in India. Her eyes are stunning and she accentuates them with makeup to bring out her strong features. As a model she is experienced with that. Her skin is very light and flawless.She doesn't need to put makeup but does so out of modeling habit I guess, because of strong lighting they put lot of makeup. But she can't change her features. They are very fine.

About her acting: she is very mediocre in acting and that is how she is considered in India. There are lots of very good actresses in India and also very good looking also but she has become famous because of her rare good looks. This is the age of Internet and globalization, so people get more exposure. Well, who doesn't get swooned by good looks?

Also she is elegant, cultured,person with high morals, a family person and lives with her parents. She is very intellignet also and was always good in studies. Check out her academic background(she passed architecture competitive entrance exams).
she put on 20 lbs for her role in Bride and Prejudice. she doesn't work-out and has consequently flabby skin on her tummy right now.

all you guys who are saying that ash wears contacts ar chattin crap cuz she don't she naturally has coloured eyes i seen her baby pics aswell and i don't think her parents but contacts on her in da pic. lol
all you guys who are saying that she wears contacts are just jealous of her.
and one more thing celina jaitley does wear contacts.

this is for the girl who posted a pic saying that ash is wearing contacts!! well look at this pic. i think everyone would agree with me and say that she is not wearing contacts and that her eyes are for real!! i mean its no big deal i have coloured eyes too as does my whole family. whats there not to believe in it
jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez

Well I am not even Indian and since when dark skinned South Indians like Aishwarya can have blue eyes and I have real green eyes and anyone who has real blue eyes can tell that those are blue contacts period and one more thing in her baby pictures she got dark eyes..

Hey Kids.
I just read your comments.Well, Ash's eyes are blue for real. Why are you guys making such a big issue about it ? Haven't seen an indian with colored eyes before ? On an average Indians have brown eyes, not even black.Although we're pashtuns, that doesn't change our Indian nationality.Half of the people in my family have green n' blue eyes. And the people who have colored eyes, their eye color changes. I swear, I'v seen it myself. My mum's eye color changes from blue to gray-blue.So don't go whining about Ash wears contacts.

And as far as her Make-up is concerned. Who doesn't wear make up ? Yeah, Its true that actors look horrible without make up. If you see their pictures , they look flawless because the shape of their nose,eyes,lips each n' everythin' is air brushed. She is very beautiful, no doubt. But certainly, not the MOST beautiful one around. Indians are beautiful. Look at how many times our girls became Miss Universe/World.

I was just watching her L'oreal Ad. Her accent seemed so so fake. I wonder if any of you watched her on Oprah Winfrey's show. Whatever the poor thing asked like " How many times do u have sex?". Am not sure about it, but she did ask sumthin lyk dat. You guys know what Oprah is lyk. So in reply, all she did was, roll her eyes n' lick her lips. She's always diplomatic, n' dat makes her boring. N' yes, no doubt she's very conceited. That's bcoz of YOU guys who praise her so much. She needs to come down to planet earth. If you recall, way back, she wasn't so arrogant. But its YOUR appraisal n' the Indian government and Media waggin their tail behind her that she's turned into sucha snob. Oh well..

And the craze for 'fair skin' still goes. Its like, you feel superior to blacks coz' ya fairer than em. N' whites feel superior to you, coz' they're fairer than you. That's never gonna change. So stop whining n' learn to accept yourself with whatsoever flaws you have. Don't go hatin on Ash. ( Tho she's a bitch.. Lol). Well. ~ salaams

- peace out - Sehrish.

who cares about her freakin eyes. She is hot right.

hah you guyz are freaking retarted going crazy over aishwarya rai that girl is ugly without makeup and contacts YEAH her eyes may be green but in every movie she wears blue contacts even outside movies she wears blue contacts I don't even think her eyes are green look at karishpa kapoor NOW THAT'S BEAUTY .... PERFECTION AT ITS BEST she has veyr blue eyes naturally and doesn't fake at all and she's a great actress even when she looked busted as a 16 yr old she looked pretty. Aish haha that's got to be a joke did you see pics and advertisements of her when she first came in she was probably darker than anything ... you'll think im jealous haha another joke im a paki and majority of us are white so that doens't bother me at all now ... yeah aish looks nice in movies now i must say pretty but its all make up and fake stuff and even in real now she's not that light she has olive skin very olive skin well that's not the discussion cuz brown people look beautiful as well but she's just too fake about everything ... she's not even 5'7.5 i've seen pics of her standing with tabu who's 5'8 max. bothof them are barefoot and ash looks atleast 3 inches shorter if you want i can post pics ash is probably 5'5 or 5'6 at the max. she' too fake to be pretty my girl is far more perfect than her and must say looks and fits as a model already and she's not even into modeling at all she's just hot and beautiful naturally THAT'S BEAUTY. KARISHMA is one hot chick with beautiful looks. Oh now when you go aroudn looking online for her pics those pics are professionally taken with so much light and makeup why don't you look at the link i'm providing.
http://classifieds.ceeby.com/celebrities/actresses/Images/aishwarya1.jpg
now you're gonna say this pic came out dark right?well why didn't her crown came out dark?the crown is exactly that color
http://images.indian-magic.com/ash/ash35.jpg

SHE LOOKS BUSTED GUYS GET REAL I hope she comes for a concert soon so I and my girl can take pics with her and she'll look like a midget and quite ugly.

There's are indians with blue and green eyes take karishma for instance and take milind soman for another they're both the most gorgeous things i've seen. Maybe you guys are amazed by her so called "perfect features" which actually look bad in fornt of ppl like zayed khan at his wedding she looked so busted and her nose appeared fatter than his yet i say her features might be nice but helloooo they're not extra ordinary more than 90% people in pakistan have better features than her even alot of indian people i've seen have better features than her despite the fact that they have long noses but the ons who don't probably have better features than her, n all desis are knows to have big eyes so there you go. Oh and her blue eyes look at her pics i've given they're not BLUE. She's fake all over guys she needs to get real.

AISH IS PURE INDIAN FOR GOD SAKES! PEOPLE WITH LIGHTER SKIN CAN HAVE LIGHTER EYES, AISH'S PARENTS ARE DARK AND SO IS SHE. THERE IS NO WAY THAT SHE HAS BLUE EYES, SHE'S SOUTH INDIAN! NOT NORTH INDIAN FOR ALL OF THOSE COMPAIRING AISH TO KASHMIRI'S AND PPL FROM THE NORTH

CAN I JUST SAY THAT THE ONLY REASON U LOT R SAYIN THT ASH IS NICE COZ SHE'S INDIAN N SO R U BUT U SHUD SPEAK DA TRUTH SHE IS NOT AS PRETTY AS SHE THINKS SHE IS I MEAN COMMON SLAPPING 10 COATS OF ULTRA WHITE FOUNDATION AND WEARING 20 LENSES AT ONCE CAN EVEN MAKE A DOG SEEM PRETTY U GET WAT IM SAYING?
I BELIEVE IN NATURAL BEAUTY LIKE KATE WINSLET,J-LO. IT PRETTY SHOWS THT INDIAN WOMEN R NOT PROUD OF WHO THEY ARE-PLZ ASH WEAR SARIS N THT RED THING ON FOREHAED NOT ENGLISH DRESSES

u americans r osssooooo racist. she does not wear white foundation. not all indians are brown some r lite skinned and she is one of them . halle bery is ugly as shit just like all americans. indians r the best. who cares about sum shitty action movie bitch

First of all, ash does NOT have perfect blue eyes.Hers' are predominantly GREEN.Now there is a difference between blue and green, isnt there????...Her iris are green and her lens are black.Karishma's iris are BLUE and lens are black..Karishma Kapoor is lighter than aishwarya rai.But ash does have coloured eyes and she does not wear fake "blue green " contacts to fool people.For heaven's sake, the Indian media is no less bitter than the international media and IF ash was faking, she would have been caught, criticized and bashed.She has worn contacts in movies like "shabd" but it is true that her eyes are GREEN.Ash has green eyes which does camouflage into blue-green....

Ash is a south indian, Manglorean.And i would like to correct someone who said that being a south indian, ash cannot be fair and have coloured eyes.FIRSTLY, India is a multiethnic country and here people have mixed in the past.Mangloreans are originally from kashmir and i know alot of mangloreans (konkinis/manglorean christians) who are really fair.My constructor is a manglorean, he is old, is white(meaning really white) and has green eyes.Now what say about that??Will you say that even he is wearing contacts????Grow up people!!Learn to accept some facts!!Not all indians are dark.

Now ash's parents being dark and ash being light, why is this trivial issue being blown out of proportion????This is ludicrous!!!Parents' looks and parents' skin tone has nothing to do with the kid!!The people of indian origin might be knowing hema malini and esha deol..Now hema malini and dharmendra both are fair and are drop dead gorgeous...But esha is dark and looks very ordinary dare i say ewwwww.Those who call ash ugly must look at people like esha deol and ayesha takia.


Oh yeah, hema malini is a south indian and she is very fair.Who said south indians cannot be fair???Palghat iyers are very fair.The mangloreans are quite fair.Konkinis are very fair. Some of the tamilian brahmins are very fair.In india, skin tone has got nothing to do with the origin.Now we do have very fair punjabis like kareena kapoor and the not so fair punjabis like karan johar, uday chopra and priyanka chopra..What say about that???

NOW, coming to whether ash is beautiful or not.Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.It is a very subjective issue and people do have varied opinions.Acording to me, Aishwarya Rai is very beautiful, even sans make-up.


For those who were talking about the white foundation, who doesnt wear make up???Someone said karishma was the real beauty!! Doesnt she wear make up??? Ash has done movies like "raincoat" and "chokker bali" sans make up...and she did look as pretty as she looks with make up, infact better!!!..So what's the big hoohahh about this frivolous issue???Dont the hollywood beauties spend thousands of dollars on make up before the academy awards???Dont Nicole Kidman and Uma Thurman ever invest in make-up???Then what's the big deal when it comes to ash???Fine, maybe you'll are saying that being a brown indian, she must not try to look white...Yes,i agree and there is a valid point there but is that such a grave crime that youll hate her only for that?????Mind you, every actress tries to look a few shades fairer.What's the big deal about that??Rani Mukherjee too did look somewhat white in the a song in "humtum".When we accept that without raising an eyelid, why is only ash axed??

I am not at all an ASH fan.Heck, i dont even watch her movies or any movie for that matter as i am not at all a movie buff.ASH has been rightly bashed here for some reasons too....First of all her accent is the most fake and being an indian she MUST NOT TRY to fake an accent.Ash is one of the most artificial women in have laid my eyes on!!.She is too plastic.She does not exude warmth.She is not at all a terrific actress.But there are certain things about her which i do admire.She is god-fearing(now i wonder would any of the people of indian origin out here bash her for that????), she has her moral values and does not act/talk like crap.She is very secretive about her personal life which many people dont like but i see nothing wrong there..Is it a rule that all stars have throw open their private lives to public scrutiny and mockery????ASH has chosen to keep a low profile when it comes to her personal life and not to reveal everything which the people want to know .

Now ash representing india or not??????well, she does!!Though she has received alot of flak from the people of the indian origin, though many are in the denial that she has indeed represented india .She was invited on the oprah winfrey show, she is invited everywhere and she does not force herself anywhere..Now the fact that she is invited itself proves beyond doubt that the foreigners DO CONSIDER HER AS THE INTERNATIONAL FACE OF INDIA......Now who invited karishma kapoor and rani mikherjee?????The fact that ash is invited itself speaks alot!!!She might not be perfect but she in her little way tries to represtent india .


I have to add this, there are many great people in india who have excelled in various fields but none have got as much recognition as ash has got.This is because of the simple reason that the glitz & glamour industry is wayyyyyyyy more popular and far reaching than the other technical fields..The fact that many here are bashing ash itself goes to prove that she is popular,whether you like it or not!!!!


and about FOB's talking with a fobbish accent....well, youll people talk ill if ash speaks with an accent..and the same people bash FOB's who have an indian accent...HELLO, stop being hypocrites!!!!...so when an indian like ash speaks with an accent, youll badmouth, and when a freshie/FOB(OMG, this is the worst curseword i have ever come acoss, ever!!) speaks with an indian accent, even that is ridiculed.....first let ALL the american and british citizens make themselves competent enough that international companies stop outsourcing...the american and british firms EMPLOY indians for various reasons...hell yeah, let all the indians who are working in the silicon valley return..then lets see what happens!!!!fobish accent my foot!!



hi my name is namrita and i like your movie most ash and i always enjoy your movie only

I agree that Ashwarya is a beautiful woman but guys..please be real..do you seriously want a fair skinned, blue eyed with a chestnut color hair representing our country. It seems like we are still under the magic spell of colonization. Isn't it sad? As far as, Aishwarya acting skills are concerned, again...please do not insult fine actresses like Shabana Azmi, Samita Patil, Nargis etc by calling Aishwarya a good actor.Guys...seriously wake up and smell the roses. India is full of brown skinned beautiful girls. Please give them a chance.

hey guys i've seen aishwarya upclose in real in chennai airport on april 22nd 1999. She was in the same flight I was, Indian Airlines, Madras to Bombay. Let me tell u, she had a very blemished olive skin tone, her eyes were light brown. Took me a while to actually recognize her.Wouldn't have even noticed her had she not been standing so close.

actually ashwarya is famous cos she was a model and won miss world, not bcoz of her acting. she jus took that cos of her beauty

hey i thought the movie was great

Hey, Katrina I agree with you that Aishwaraya looks beautiful just because of makeup. However, I do not agree that Indians can't have green eyes. I am an Indian and I have green eyes just same as Aishwarya's and they are natural. Both of my parents are also 100 % indians. Aishwaraya have natural eyes but not natural beauty.

I agree with Ajay that Aish does not look vey good in western cloths or other words you can also say that she does not wears a right dress. I have seen her skin popping out around her tummy area and back. She gotta do some work out. She also should put less make up and be less posy while photogaphs. I am fan of Aish but I think she need some changes as world is seeing her. She need to be more natural. She got talent, intelligence and courage no doubt.

Yes Farhan, she is wearing lens in this photograph, but can't you see that these are blue lense and Aishwaraya's eyes are green. Her eyes are real and they r green. Why are you making so much effort to prove your idea that they are not green. Think a little bit why would a person wear lense for 24 hours or his/her whole life.

Hi Angeleyez, I agree with you 100%. Everything you said is right about Aish.

Hi Saima, I got green eyes too, real one. I am an Indian and in some of my childhood photos my eyes also look brown. So you can't give decision just by looking at Aishwaraya's childhood photos.

FYI, Aishwarya is from Mangalore...and a lot of people there have dark green-hazel color eyes. It's just in their genes. No doubt about it...You guys' comment about her being south Indian and not having light eyes is just ridiculous...and even those who are not north indian like Milind Soman (South Indian) and Rani Mukherjee ( Bengali..east Indian). She isn't that light...but she's lighter than most of the South Asian populations...although i agree that she is Olive skinned, not white. Still, you should research your facts before writing comments.

wow. you guys are all crazy. Ok, thanks to all of your stupid comments, i actually had to respond to all of this. It's quite infuriating to hear all of your simpleton narrow-minded garbage. Ok, last time i checked, and i mean the last time i met her, im pretty sure she's not wearing contacts. I admit, i was a bit suspicious at first aswell, however, i did make attempts to check out her eyes for myself. They are most surely realy. She doesnt wear contacts. Though they aren't pure blue, they are a combination blue-green (mostly blue) and thats why people tend to argue that her eyes are either blue or green, etc. They, in fact, change colours due to lighting conditions. As someone previously mentioned, she has had to infact wear dark contacts before, and for those of you that post pictures that are soo horridly pixilated as proof that she does not in fact have coloured eyes, well, thats a tad unprecedented.

Okay. So now that that first misconception has been cleared (at least, for the less narrow-minded individuals out there), its time for another answer to all you misconceptions. As many of you have pointed out, brown coloured eyes are dominant. Well, thats genetics for you. However, as afformentioned, blue, green, and grey eyes are all not uncommon to the people of northern india, where the aryan blood runs more strongly. This is due, as mentioned before, to the aryan invasion theory. The people of the north are aryans, that have adapted to the indian climatic conditons, and thus the brown eyes have gained prominance. The brown eye is more stable for a hot sunny climate such as that of indias. However, there are individuals in the north that do still retain some of the original characteristics. These people are more commonly found in areas like kashmir and punjab. And i speak from experience, as i am a punjabi canadian, and whole branches of my family have green, grey, hazel, and yes, blue eyes.

Secondly, for those of you that are too blinded by the wool to see that it is not impossible for south indians to have blue eyes, heres a bit of information. Although its quite uncommon for blue, or green eyes to be found in the South, there are certain groups of south indians in which a mixture of european blood can be found. Although they may not be aryan, but dravidian, there are still certain groups in which blue and green eyes can develope, as it has been passed down from generation to generation.

Heres to hoping that you weren't too stupid to finish this message.

Cheers.

Aishwarya is like pretty looking but what lies behind all that make-up? It's probably a bunch of pimples and acne marks! I don't really know!!! There is not even picture of her that I know of that is without make-up. I'm really dark and she has light skin, I wonder if that's even real. I think she's a big snob, and thinks she is the prettiest person ever. People say she is, but I KNOW alot of people don't think that! Whatever. I saw this Oprah show in which she was on. She has NO accent!!! She tries to have it though. That's just pathetic.

i think ash is hot but not beautiful.she may b beautiful inside but outside no way

I'm pretty sure pathetic somes up all the people who are ignorant enough to think Aishwarya has dark eyes.

I'm indian and 3 of my cousins have green eyes. So what? No mixing no nothing. Most likely stems from white supremacy - that you don't like it that some other race can have variation as well.

How can you say that she is ugly? Google Image Angelina Jolie - some of the pictures can be simply described as "WRONG". She has massive dark circles, overly prominent jaw. She is a beautiful woman yes but any woman in the world can look ugly at some point. Nobody is an exception.

It's funny that people can pick apart someone and say they are ugly when it is most likely that they are yucky looking. Take a look in the mirror - stop being so jealous.

ok aishwarya rai canNOT be compared to kashmiris who by the way are gorgeous and have real blue eyes....ash is pure tamil and at best she is graceful....she isnt a good actress and she is so fake in mistress of spices and bride and prejudice...can some1 tell her to come down from the clouds and stop all the nonsense about "blue-green" eyes? i mean didnt she donate her eyes lol itd be so funny if they had to take her contacts off b4 they took her eyes out...or mayb ash will think of some way to avoid donating her eyes and e able to protect her "secret" forever...btw angelina jolie and halle barry are a thousand times prettier than ashwarya
