Being at the IIFA Awards was a happy time for the Bachchan family except that the Bachchan bahu –Aishwarya got some real punch in her system or something to that effect. According to a report in the Mumbai Mirror, the Aishwarya allegedly couldn’t keep her voice down during the recent IIFA awards.
On their way to attend the IIFA ceremony, Abhishek and Ash were seen walking down the stairs with actor Kunal Kapoor. The actress allegedly got a little too loud when Abhishek subtly asked her to keep her voice down.
Aishwarya, who wasnt in the mood to be told what to do, continued her high spirited chatter. Abhishek then took her to the lobby and spoke to her.
According to an eye witness things were quiet until Aishwarya began talking aloud again. She continued auguring at the top of her voice until Abhishek, sensing that the situation was getting embarrassingly out of control, beckoned his personal security guards and asked them to escort his wife to her room.
At a press meet, when asked about the incident, which made the news at the time Abhishek Bachchan said, “No i haven’t read it.”
Of course Hubby Abhi went blue in the face denying it. But what he did maintain was Ash was feeling a little under the weather. Abhishek said, “She is unfortunately down with German measles but she is much better and should be back to work from tomorrow.”
Aishwarya may be feeling a little under the weather, but the Bachchan trio certainly do have something to be happy about with the success of Sarkar Raj.
At the end of the day the audience is god for us. They determine the fate of the film and through the success of the film we come to know whether they’ve liked it or not.

Bollywood’s Miss goody two-shoes has turned into a con-woman, albeit for a movie.
The demure and elegant Vidya Balan is all set for an image overhaul in Vishal Bharadwaj ’s production Ishqiya . Vidya, who has played goody-goody roles in flicks, is going bad in the film to be directed by Bharadwaj’s assistant Abhishek Choubey.
The story of the film revolves around three principal characters – an aged uncle, his young nephew and a scheming woman who takes the duo for a ride.
Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi play the uncle-nephew duo. Vidya plays the con-woman who plays subtle mind games with the two.
Coming from a Bharadwaj assistant, the movie will be shot in the realistic setting of a squalid town in north India.
This is the first time Vidya is working with Naseeruddin and she sees it as an opportunity to learn the fine points of acting from the veteran.
Vidya will next be seen playing a sweet girl in Aziz Mirza’s Kismat Konnection with Shahid Kapur .

Looks like Aishwarya not only suffers from bouts of giggling episodes but also has a problem keeping her voice down. Witnesses at the Dusit Thani hotel in Bangkok saw Abhishek requesting his wife to keep her voice low as she appeared in high spirits. However Ash chose to ignore him and continued in her revelry.
Says an eyewitness, “She continued with her extra-loud self-expression, until Abhishek took her to the lobby and made her sit down there, to calm her down. For a while, things were rather quiet, until Ash suddenly decided to pipe up all over again. She continued arguing at the top of her voice, until Abhishek, sensing that the situation was getting embarrassingly out of control, beckoned his personal security guards and asked them to escort his wife to her room.”
