Speaking of Bollywood, do you know about Aishwarya Rai, dubbed as the most beautiful woman in the world? I recently saw the movie “The Last Legion,” and rather than treat you to a virtual castigation of such a juvenile movie, I’d like to focus on Ms. Rai. As I’d mentioned before, I was into Bollywood films for awhile. Ironically, in the over 50 Bollywood films that I watched over a two-year period, Aishwarya wasn’t in any of them. It took a goofy Bollywood “Pride & Prejudice” re-imagining called “Bride & Prejudice” to introduce me to this beauty.
Sadly, Aishwarya is married to Bollywood actor, Abhishek Bachchan, who most likely would be dubbed as the luckiest bastard in the world. Winning the Miss World competition in 1994 helped usher Aishwarya into acting, with her first two films released in 1997. “Bride & Prejudice” was also released in the U.S. in 2005, helping to introduce Aishwarya to non-Bollywood audiences. She will be appearing in an upcoming “The Pink Panther” reissue, and I hope that her face and, uh, talents will be a mainstay in Western entertainment for many years to come.
