Aishwarya Rai Bachchan revealing a secret? For those who have known Aishwarya and have followed her career and (ahem) life, it comes as a surprise when one reads a secret coming out of her mouth. The actress concealed the fact that she was dating Abhishek Bachchan for months before their ’sudden’ engagement in January 2007. A secret revealed by herself is such a rarity that one has to take a deep breathe to realise what was just said.

All my chitter-chatter aside, it was recently revealed that former Miss World and International superstar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan chose to do the Hollywood film, Pink Panther 2, because of her admiration for Peter Sellers, the British comedian who played Inspector Clouseau in four Pink Panther movies. Aishwarya says “I loved Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther series when I was a kid and watched these films. It was hilarious, a laugh riot and a thorough family entertainer. People across different age groups love The Pink Panther because the films always bring a smile to one’s face.”

Aishwarya Rai has been out of sight for sometime now and that includes the promotions of ‘Pink Panther’ as well, which is the upcoming Hollywood release of the actress. Meanwhile the original Bollywood sizzler has decided to take a walk down the ramp, which comes as naturaly and effortlessly to her, as her engaging charm and grace personfied stance. Ash sashayed down the ramp, sporting a flashy brand with her pearly smile intact.

On the professional front, Aishwarya is all set to team up with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his next untitled project. Bhansali and Ash have already worked together before in ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ and ‘Devdas’, probably the biggest hits of the star’s career.

This time, the actress is reuniting with her mentor Sanjay Leela Bhansali for a new film, co-starring none other than her lucky mascot Hrithik Roshan - with whom, she’s earned much accolades for both their stunning chemistry in the hugely successful ‘Dhoom 2′ and ‘Jodha Akbar’. Hope Aishwarya and Hrithik are able to recreate the magic of ‘Dhoom 2′ and ‘Jodha Akbar’ again!

Volcano erupted when Aishwarya lip-locked Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2. The Bachchan family reacted strongly against the intimate scene and even approached the maker to delete it. But when the film released, the chemistry between Ash and Hrithik well appreciated and latter they became the hot favorite jodi of the cine-buffs. After the success of Jodhaa Akbar, the anger of the Bachchans calmed down and out of joy, they even threw an impromptu success party. Looking at the success factor, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is making a deliberate effort to bring together Ash and Hrithik for the third time.

News is rife that Sanjay is planning a mature love story starring Ash and Hrithik. Though Bhansali has not made any official announcement, it is known that Ash and Hrithik will sign the film very soon. Bhansali who has given Ash the massive hit Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam is keen to cast her again. The film in question is a mature romantic tale to be penned by the director himself. If Hrithik sign the project then it would be his first film with Bhansali.
