Shahrukh Khan & Aishwarya Rai War Ends

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan will be seen together once again for Shahrukh Khan’s next home production. They were on a cold war for the past 7 years.
Aishwarya Rai and Shahrukh Khan had a clash while filming ‘Chalte Chalte’ when Shahrukh Khan had cast Rani Mukherjee instead of Aishwarya because of an brusque behaviour of Salman Khan on the sets. After the incident, SRK and Ash almost stopped talking.
But things changed after Karan Johar’s birthday bash. Ash and Shahrukh joined hands after King Khan had apologized to her for the wrong and forgetting the past later Ash, Abhi, SRK and Gauri set the dance floor on fire.
Shahrukh Khan desired to cast Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in his next production and sources confirmed that she too has agreed to play his ladylove.
The movie is ready to roll by the end of 2010.

Aishwarya Rai Is Today's 'Dreamgirl', Says Hema Malini


For Bollywood's original 'dreamgirl' Hema Malini, beauty queen-turned-actress Aishwarya Rai is the only one who deserves the 'dreamgirl' tag among all the new age actresses.
"Whoever is on top is the dreamgirl. I feel it is Aishwarya Rai," Hema told on being asked who, according to her, deserves to be called the 'dreamgirl' among new age actresses.
Taking about the hardships an actress has to face, she said: "An actress' life is the same - nothing has changed. It is what it was even 20 years back. They have to work very hard, make themselves look beautiful and need a lot of dedication to remain at the top," said Hema, who was in this suburb of the national capital Monday to felicitate winners of supermarket Big Bazaar's 'Meet The Dreamgirl' contest.
Dressed in a pale yellow, elegant sari, the 60-year-old actress was at her forthright best.
When asked about her future projects she said "I've signed two films which are held up because of the financial crisis in the whole world. Otherwise I would have finished those two and they would have released by now."
"One is with Nana Patekar which Deepa Sahi is directing, and the other is with another producer. It is not right to expose everything about a film".
Another film that Hema is working on is "Ek Thi Rani Aisi Bhi" - in which she will play a role based on the life of prominent political figure Vijayaraje Scindia.
Hema, who has delivered hits like "Seeta Aur Geeta", "Satte Pe Satta", and "Sholay" in the past, has plans of venturing into production. “I'm planning to start production. I don't want to say much about it because every time I talk about these things, they never happen. It's my desire to make lovely films because I am an artist and a very creative person," she said
"But filmmaking is not a joke...so many things are involved," she added.
The actress, who had her directorial debut in 1992 with Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "Dil Aashna Hai", says she would want to be a liberal producer and not want to impose her ideas on the youth.
