AISHWARYA RAI ' THE MANIPULATOR Aishwarya Rai is riding high with DHOOM 2's success and also being with Bachchan's family visiting Varanasi temple recently. While she doesn't have much to rave about her success in Bollywood, Ash has always been in the news for her alleged affair with her leading men ever since she made her decision to join Bollywood. Who can forget Salman Khan (sources claim he is still very much in love with Ash) from Ash's life? However, Ash has been intelligent enough to be linked with hit Bollywood heroes in various stages of her career. When she made her entry in Bollywood, she was dating model Rajeev Mulchandani. However, when she established her two feet in Bollywood, success eluded her even though she had a million dollar looks. One after another film flopped. Be it her Bollywood debut film BARSAAT with Bobby Deol or else JEANS in Tamil. It was this time, when she ditched Rajeev and got into Salman Khan's good books. Her beauty surely blew Salman's bachelorhood and the two became the hot couple. While they were seeing each other and painting Goa red, Sanjay Leela Bhansali cashed on the couple's amazing chemistry to make HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM. Needless to say, the film was a huge hit and Ash even won every award for portraying the role of Nandini in the film. Their love affair continued but not for long. Sources claim that Ash used Salman to enhance her career in Bollywood, while the Khan was truly in love with her. Each time, Salman and Ash were together out of town, they seemed to be the most loving couple on this earth. However, the moment Ash flew back home in Mumbai, she complained to her mother about the atrocities of the Khan, to be in the good books of her mother. This double standard irritated Salman to no ends, sources claim. This is when Ash was facing the brunt of Salman's ire and been hit several times by her boyfriend, as reported in various dailies. To escape Salman's passionate relationship, Ash tried to shift her loyalty towards Shah Rukh Khan's camp. Shah Rukh too was enamoured by her beauty and they worked together first in JOSH and then gave a super hit film in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's DEVDAS. Salman Khan was furious because Ash was avoiding her calls and making various excuses to be with Shah Rukh, who had offered her then CHALTE CHALTE. We all know how Salman stormed the sets of the film and had a showdown with King Khan and Ash. Shah Rukh realized it was not a good idea to have bad relationship with the brat of the industry Salman Khan. Very cleverly, Shah Rukh dropped Ash from his project and took Rani Mukherjee instead. Ash not only lost a very good project (CHALTE CHALTE) but also a friend in Shah Rukh Khan, who preferred to stay far away from couple's (Salman & Ash) personal lives. While the two were having a continuous fight in their relationship, Ash was double timing Salman and developing her relationship with Vivek Oberoi, who made great news as Ramu's protg. While Vivek Oberoi thought Ash was in love with him, she had planned her grand exit from Salman's life in a true Bollywood movie. KYON HO GAYA NA released as their first movie. However, the box office dumped the chemistry less couple very badly. However, Vivek Oberoi became overnight, a hero, and knight in the shining armour for Ash by declaring in the press meet that Salman threatened him to be away from his ladylove 41 times. A sensible Salman kept quiet because he had found love in Katrina Kaif. Ash played her card well and started being seen with Vivek in almost all the parties. Vivek was happy as his career never really took off after Ramu's COMPANY. To show her loyalty, Ash even recommended Vivek's name to Subhash Ghai, who took him in KISNA ' The Warrior, reveals inside source from Ghai's camp. With the film having bombed, Vivek became almost a non-entity in Bollywood and Ash was finding a strong foothold to give a hit. With none of her films becoming a hit, Ash slowly started making statement in various dailies (through her manager cum PR Hari Singh) that her affair with Vivek is over. A shattered Vivek realized how Ash had used him to escape Salman's clutches. All this while, Abhishek Bachchan was slowly climbing the ladder of success with hit films like BUNTY AUR BABLI, SARKAR, DHOOM and KANK. While Bachchan junior was often seen with Rani Mukherjee, Ash was making her presence felt in their family, slowly and steadily. She even did the 'Kajra re'" in BUNTY AUR BABLI with senior and junior Bachchan. After KUCH NA KAHO flopped, JP Dutta roped in Abhishek and Ash for his prestigious flop movie UMRAO JAAN. The media was fed with some interesting personal details of the two, Ash and Abhishek, while they were shooting in Rajasthan. While many in the industry feel that Ash is a great manipulator and since she had become a global icon, she played her cards well to be in the good books of the Bachchan family. While Rani Mukherjee quietly side stepped from Bachchan's family, Ash made her conspicuous presence in all the family gathering of the Bachchans. Needless to say, while Ash is using Abhishek to be in limelight, the Bachchans too are using her to be written about in media. Each time the media goes berserk with Ash and Abhishek's marriage, the Bachchans are quick to issue a statement of denial in the press. Indeed a clever ploy to be in the news, feels many from the industry. One will have to see for how long will Ash be with the Bachchans because in the past six to seven years, she has moved from Rajeev Mulchandani to Salman Khan to Shah Rukh Khan to Vivek Oberoi with regular intervals. Currently, being with Abhishek Bachchan seems to be the mantra. Will she marry Bachchan junior in near future? One will have to wait and watch. |
