Aishwarya Rai Declines to Co-Star with Will Smith… Again
The gorgeous bollywood beauty has once again declined to co star with Will Smith. Two years ago, Smith offered her a role in his comedy film, Hitch which Ash could not accept due to time constraints.
At that time, an infatuated Smith who wanted to work with the beauty queen, had said in an interview, “Aishwarya has this powerful energy and doesn’t have to say anything, or do anything, she can just stand there. Anything she’s making, I’ll be there.”
Since then, Aishwarya turned down two more Will Smith projects. “That’s true,” she laughed. “I had to say no to Will for Seven Pounds and now again for Hancock. I feel awful about it. But I’ve my priorities. Family always comes first.”
Contrary to reports, Aishwarya didn’t declined the film to celebrate Karwa Chauth in Mumbai. “That’s what the Hollywood press wrote..that I preferred to return to Mumbai to ’starve’ myself for a religious occasion than to meet Will. That’s incorrect! The script reading was just after Diwali when Dadimaa’s (Teji Bachchan’s, Amitabh Bachchan’s mother) health dipped. So, I didn’t make that trip for the reading with Will. Is that wrong? Not to me. I’d any day put family over career.”
Earlier Aishwarya had to say no to ‘Tonight He Comes’ because of her hectic schedules. “I couldn’t do it because of my schedules. Flying in and out of the country for a role is not what I want to do now,” Aishwarya said.
