Aishwarya:I was offered Barbie four times

posted in Uncategorized |

Katrina Kaif replaces Aishwarya Rai in the Barbie All Doll d Up Show at Lakme Fashion Week

Aishwarya Rai at a recent watch promotion event revealed that she was the original choice for Barbie makers and not Katrina Kaif.

During the press conference when Aishwarya was asked by the media, how she felt about Katrina’s Barbies hitting the market in first week of December, Aishwarya immediately replied that she was the original choice for Barbie.

Aishwarya said,”I was asked by that brand (Barbie), not just now but, I think, since Miss World, then at the turn of millennium, then when my films were raging success after Canes and this year was the fourth time actually that I was requested by Barbie to walk the ramp on a particular day.”

“But I was a committed professional working with Vipul Shah and he needed my date on that day so I was unable to accept that offer to walk the ramp that particular day for them.”

Aishwarya Rai revealed that she did not regret not becoming a Barbie girl and wished Katrina Kaif good luck for her Barbies.

    wotever ash…. well ash could have been the barbie face but katrina is much more prettier than ash. ash only looks pretty because of BOTOX magic….

    Look folks, Ash was definitely one of the most beautiful people in the world. Operative word is: WAS. Now, with all her nips and tucks, her grandiose diva attitude, and never giving others a chance in the limelight, her public opinion has gone down. WAY DOWN! If she doesn’t regret accepting the project,like she claims, then why bring it up at all!?!? GET OVER YOURSELF!!! :D

    why so much hatred for Ash for crying out loud? I wonder why? If we Nigerians could love all Indian Actress, I wonder why you guys are always abusing Ash. Let her be for God sake. Nobody is perfect besides she is beautiful and a celebrity for that matter. She was asked by the press it is not as if she raised the subject herself. This is unfair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i hate her for screaming out loud on this thing. everybody gets offers and finally sometime it works for them or not.nobody talks like what ash did. she is cheap and ash is very insecure now, so she cant bear others success.so she screams out loud all the time.

    thanks god she dint do the barbie doll. because kat looks much cute and real. ash would be plastic and can never connect to barbie doll.

    I call bull. The chance to have your likeness on a world renowned doll, and Ms. Rai passes up the oppertunity, when “at the turn of the milennium, when her films were a raging success after Canes (sic)”?

    Heck, would she have seized the chance, she would be somewhat relevant in Hollywood. After all, Barbie is a mainstream Western thing.

    Loser!

    It was so LOW of her to talk about Barbie when she was promoting Longines.
    She is 37 year old woman who keeps bashing Katrina at every oppurtunity she gets.
    Aish, let it go you old plastic lady.

    I hate her. She is arrogant and big-headed! And she looks so ugly in that pic anyways. Sorry she is not beautiful anymore. Rakhi sawant looks way better than her since they both have lot in common.

    ALL THE PEOPLE THAT SPEAK EVIL OF AISH .. ENVY INSURANCE ARE UGLY AND IS VERY GOOD TO HAVE 37años .. must tell the truth

  17. 17 On November 19th, 2009, stranger said:

    wow how rude!!!!!!!!! aishwarya – your movies were not success even after you wore those skimpy outfits at canness. you caused a lot of embarassement! and after a while when everyone forgot about your drama at cannes you come up with another stupid statement to bash young actress……. its cleary evident she is losing her mind and she is gettin arrogant everytime they do a press conference….. i feel bad for katrina…. you are at longines and you shud promote longines NOT barbie….

  18. 18 On November 19th, 2009, stranger said:

    and if you wanna bash someone .. atleast come dressing nicely.. have you seen the way she dressed lol… sorry aish you looked like clown..and everybody is laughing at you…

  19. 19 On November 19th, 2009, Samina said:

    I hope her PR does something about it before it gets out of hand. She is a senior to Katrina and all other young actress out there. She needs to support them and encourgage them. Not the other way around. She had lot of support from Kajol, Madhuri, Juhi, Karishma when she started out her career. Never did they once bashed her. So she should do the same too. It’s been ages since Katrina got the barbie offer and it’s really stupid of her to keep brining in out. I mean last time she said Kat didn’t replace her for Nakshtra and that was when she was promoting her own brands. This time only she manages to take a dig at Katrina. This is extremely low and rude of her. I am sorry Aish you are not beautiful or the queen of bollywood. You can’t say things like that and think that you will get away with it because you have Amitabh Bachchan and Amar Singh to back you! It doesn’t work that way. This is not your home. I am extremely disappointed by her behaviour.

    how rude!!!!!1?????
    this skank needs to stop showing her botox face to public and needs stop scaring young kids away

    for a sec i thought this was some guy wearing wig.. she looks ugly and looks like a guy!

  21. 21 On November 19th, 2009, I am the best! said:

    Uh-oh. . . Someone lost it! Aishwarya – it’s best if you just retire. You obviously can’t handle the fact that Kareena, Priyanka, Katrina, Sonam and Deepika is taking over bollywood and replacing you. . . She is extremely unprofessional and rude. . . And what is she on about? Her movies becoming raging success after cannes? Is she on drugs? ? ? Just because she got lucky with Dhoom 2 – now she thinks it’s all coz of her. . . Anyways she is stupid and old. . .

  22. 22 On November 19th, 2009, ??? said:

    lmao im still surprised at how many haters she has on this site. its NOT bashing its being honest. if the media will ask this kind of questions she answered straight forward theres nothing wrong with it. everyone knows ash is way above kat any day anywhere. and comment 18 u shouldnt talk about dressing didnt u see katrina’s short dress the other day at least ash knows how to act while wearing short dresses.

    yuk!!!

    Sounds to me a case of sour grapes.Kats was best choice

  25. 25 On November 19th, 2009, Sonali said:

    although i am not an ash fan, i still consider her one of the most beautiful women in the world ! she is and will always be beautiful. she was asked about this and she answered, she did not bring this topic on her own….so i see nothing wrong in her statements. although i like katrina and she does look gorgeous most of the time, she doesnt make a pretty barbie (with her hair tied up she looked horsey in her barbie dress while walking the ramp….eeewww), ash would / still is a perfect Barbie,whether or not she actually endorsed the brand !

  26. 26 On November 19th, 2009, BiBi said:

    at least you’ve been honest sonali, there is gang here against Aish, maybe this site was created by salman or kat fans, just to bash, not a single day pass without the mention of Aish in here, it shows her importance. Get a life guys, she doesn’t even know this site exist LMAO

  27. 27 On November 19th, 2009, *Insert Your Name* said:

    im not even katz fan but this was immature and rude behaviour by a seniour person like aish. she shud know better.
    plastic lady needs to shove the pride up on her a**
    she doesnt rule bollywood..
    im not surprised by how many haters aish has.. u cant blame people for bashing her after putting junior celebs..

    and that being said i got nothing against aish.. if it was katrina or kareena or piggy who said this – i wud say the same thing. the fact that she thinks she can stay crap like this shows me how arrogant she is. she doesnt even look that good to show off like this..

  28. 28 On November 19th, 2009, lala said:

    Ash doesn’t look like a typical barbie doll, she looks more like the BRATZ doll my little
    sister has one that looks exactly like her and named her Ashwarya lol cute;)

  29. 29 On November 19th, 2009, Liza said:

    honestly aish wud hav been much much much better barbie doll….thou shez fake still she got the look of a barbie… :)

  30. 30 On November 19th, 2009, soso said:

    i am not a fan of katrina but what ash did is uncool…..she said she doesn’t regret it then y bother talking about it…..move on…..or maybe she does!!

  31. 31 On November 19th, 2009, ??? said:

    SHE WAS ASKED A QUESTION Y CANT SHE ANSWER IT TRUTHFULLY?(WHICH SHE DID AND EVERYONE IS HATING HER FOR IT) ITS NOT HER FAULT SHE WAS OFFERED BEFORE KAT.

  32. 32 On November 19th, 2009, Posh said:

    There’s a different way of answering that question. She could have just said, “I was asked to do Barbie, but declined because of my work schedule.” She went on and on about every waking moment they asked her, and how “professional” she was to refuse them. Yawn.

    Katrina is better barbie imo. She seems more fresh. Ash would be a better Bratz doll. (ew)

  33. 33 On November 19th, 2009, Farida said:

    How come you guys do not call Katrina a whore since she is sleeping with Salman before marriage. On top of that you are all admiring and praising her. Strange how things change when it suits you bunch of ….. We all know she will not marry Salman. She is only using him making Salman paying her bills. Poor Salman is blind.

    ed Student in Plastic Surgery says that she is also doing something with her lips. They’re too Poofy compared to her older pictures. Definite use of Botox. I stake my license on this. That’s how sure I am

  36. 36 On November 19th, 2009, Zaara said:

    Burn Ash Trash. This is one case of jealousy. She knows that she is nothing in B town. The only reason for that is her arrogance. Total B she is! Katu is more humble, sweet and fresh. A right choice to be a Barbie. Ash Trash looks like a ghetto Bratz Doll.

    I believe all people who have money, not only the celebrities, have plastic surgery to improve their looks. So what is the big deal? How about Shah Rukh Khan who in spite of having plastic surgery looks like someone from the streets. Wonder how he looked without plastic surgery. Any common man looks better than the supposedly king khan. Wonder why no one talks about him. J E A L O U S Y

  42. 42 On November 20th, 2009, J said:

    Dear Aishwarya: I have some news for you hon, a girl who lives a block down my street is prettier than you. Shocker, I know. In fact, I’ve seen far prettier women than you be it in real life or on the silver screen. Hope you’re not having a heart attack now. Get over it dear. Try doing something else instead of always playing the beauty card. People would take you much more seriously if you showcased other attributes instead of always harping about your beauty. Focus on some new and challenging role instead of crying over how they didn’t let you be Barbie.

    P.S. I do think Ash would make a better Barbie than Katrina any day; she’s plastic, after all!

  43. 43 On November 20th, 2009, fan said:

    hey, i am not a fan of ash, but yes she is beautyful but also that she need to stop thinking she is the only beauty in bollywood. its ok tht the pressses asked her the question and she answered but if she wanted to be classy then she only should have wishes kat best of luck and n blabber about the offer she got n tht she rejected it,.so if she got the offer n she is the one who rejected it so why bring kat name in middle n make her feel like second choice if ash doent regret rejecting the offer…

    too old for a barbie.

  47. 47 On November 20th, 2009, Chandini said:

    why does she go behind your actresses like this….ash,people look for inner beauty than external beauty…which is lacking far behind for you……There are many offers taken by other heroes and heroines which were rejected by others…..but no one opens their gutter mouth like you do for each and everything……..i think she feels jeleaous of katrina cos she is growing up as a big heroine and has more hits than ash……or many be that kat is closer to salman!!!!!!!

  48. 48 On November 20th, 2009, june said:

    Yawn ash….. plz shut up already…pooor thing..n barbie’s supposed to b slim like kats… not fatty like u

  49. 49 On November 20th, 2009, skaur said:

    Ash needs to familiarise herself with the word “BEAUTY”. Beauty comes from within, it is NOT in making jealous comments about others and trying to deflect the spotlight on oneself. Looks fade away with time but what remains is your personality, and your grace and I’m afraid Ash in my opinion has neither.

    Bottom Line:

    Kat ROCKS
    Plastic aunty SUCKS

    katrina kaif is more stunning than her
    i mean katrina got the perfect face.. she is extremely gorgeous!!
    sorry aish you are old and really ugly after the surgeries so NO WAY you look good..
    go easy with the attitude aunty..

    she sounds bitter. I think they both suck

  53. 53 On November 21st, 2009, Sapna said:

    okay what the F does she think about herself
    she is not queen
    i honestly think she is insecure and really dumb even though she is nearly 40

    im sure she slept around to get work from hollywood .. or else why would anyone wanna cast this hideous thing

    i almost forgiven her and her PRs for grabbing ‘the most beautiful woman in the world’ title by throwing money at media but this time she really made it worse..for someone who is been in movies for over 15 years and still cant manage to deliver a decent performance, thinks so high of herself.. trashwarya, you are not pretty or adorable.. please get that in your head.. and her fans wonder why people hate her – hilarious isnt?
