Tell me who’s mystery man: Aishwarya
JAIPUR— Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai has said she too is eager to know
who sent a parcel containing Euros 23,000 (around Rs 13 lakhs) to her,
why and from where.
“Like all of you, I am also eager to know who sent this parcel, from
where and why it was sent?” she said while talking to reporters at
Sanganer airport after returning from Mumbai last night. She would be
shooting for director Ashutosh Gowarikar’s ‘Jodha Akbar’. During
questioning by Customs officials yesterday at Sahar Airport in Mumbai,
Aishwarya had disowned the parcel sent to her from Rotterdam in
Netherlands.
Looking relaxed, Rai said she was waiting for completion of
investigation by the authorities.
Asked about ‘Jodha Akbar’, she said, “Ashutosh Gowarikar has been
working very hard on this film and it would be a hit.”
As for lukewarm response at the box office for J P Dutta’s ‘Umrao Jaan’
in which she played the lead role, the Bollywood actress said, “I am not
aware of box office results, but I got many mails from my fans who said
my performance in the movie was good.” Meanwhile, Ashotosh Gowarikar
spent the two-day break to search for and finalise more locales for
shooting of ‘Jodha Akbar’, some scenes of which were filmed at Rupangarh
Fort in Kishangarh.—Agencies
