There are reports that Aishwarya Rai , the Bollywood stunner who is presently shooting in the UK, has been invited to present an award at the Oscars on February 27, Sunday.
A news agency quotes Gurinder Chadha – the director of Bride and Prejudice – as saying: “It's a unique honor for an Indian entertainer, and one that Ash shouldn't miss for the world.”
However, it is still not fully confirmed that Ash will be able to make it to the biggest awards ceremony in the world as she will continue shooting at the Isle of Man (in the Irish Sea) for Chadha’s husband’s movie ‘Mistress of Spices’ till Saturday night.
“We'll try to get her out into the US the same night,” said Chadha who will herself be attending the Oscars as the date for Sid Ganis, the deputy chairperson of the Academy awards.
Chadha added that Miramax, the US distributor of ‘Bride and Prejudice’, is very keen to get Ash to the Oscars.
