Resurfaced video shows Aishwarya Rai’s fiery side, sparking Jaya Bachchan comparisons

An old video resurfaced online shows Aishwarya Rai getting annoyed at a media question. In the 2000s, while balancing Hollywood and Bollywood films, Aishwarya was asked if she’s moving to Hollywood. 

The video shows her, dressed in yellow, at an event. When a reporter mentions a statement about her Hollywood shift, Aishwarya appears to get upset and doesn’t answer. Aishwarya clams back, “Wait a minute. When did I say that? In which interview? No, you show me the interview and then we’ll talk.”

She asks another reporter if she ever said that, but they deny knowing. “If you want to ask a question, please do. Don’t attribute statements to me. I’ve worked first in Tamil films, then in Hindi and Bengali films, and now, I’m working in some English films. But this does not mean I’m shifting anywhere or I’m part of any other industry. It’s just broadening your experience in some way,” added Aishwarya.

Aishwarya received praise for clearing up the records, but some likened her to her mother-in-law, veteran actor Jaya Bachchan, known for scolding the media.
