Aishwarya RaiAudience can't see me sharing my affections: Aishwarya Rai

The gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan says she refused Karan Johar 's comedy Dostana because the quirky situations mentioned in the script wouldn't have worked.

Johar wanted to cast Ash with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham , but after her refusal, has now roped in Priyanka Chopra for the female lead.




Ash tells in an interview why she refused the movie that is set in Miami: “Yes, I opted out of ‘Dostana’ because the inter-personal relationships among the three of us made me uncomfortable. Now that Abhishek and I are married, the kind of quirky situations shown in ‘Dostana’, albeit in a comic vein, wouldn't have worked."

But on being told that Dhoom 2 and Jodhaa Akbar worked although she was paired with Hrithik Roshan and not Abhishek, Ash said, “But ‘Dhoom’ was before marriage and there was no triangle in ‘Jodhaa Akbar’. Now the audience can't see me sharing my affections for Abhishek with another guy. I can't tell you why it wouldn't have worked for Abhishek and I as a pair without giving away the plot. Karan Johar wasn't bothered with all these personal considerations, but I felt otherwise. I thought the audience would wonder, "She likes John and Abhishek equally? No way!"

On being asked how she feels romancing Rajnikant in Shankar 's Robot , the former Miss World said, “It's a total Rajni-Shankar styled entertainer. There's no logic as to why I agreed to do it beyond the urge to work with Rajnikant. Shankar and Rajni sir have approached me for so many films, it's embarrassing. Ever since we did ‘Jeans’ together Shankar has approached me for all his films except ‘Boys’.

“Rajni sir, being the senior that he is, has shown no egoistic traits in approaching me for his last four-five films. And my refusal to do his films was never misconstrued by him. I admire him for that. It speaks volumes for his seniority and his calibre as a human being to never take offence to my no."

But Ash denied that this was the reason that said yes to ‘Robot’. “This time for Robot it was an immediate yes from me. I just wanted to work with Rajni sir and Shankar. My ‘Jeans’ with Shankar was a super success. I learnt so much from ‘Jeans’ and Shankar. ‘Robot’ too will be a learning experience.”
