Why Did Aishwarya Rai Turn Down Films Offers By Will Smith?

via https://youtu.be/0HcQaAaVt-U Judging by archives, Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Hollywood A-lister Will Smith have always wanted to work together, but some how never succeeded in their endeavours. According to The Hindustan Times, WIll offered her his films like Hitch, Seven Pounds and Tonight He Comes but Aishwarya could not make time for even one of them due to different reasons. In an recently unearthed 2008 interview with IANS, Aishwarya revealed the real reason she turned down Seven Pounds. That’s what they wrote in the US press... that I preferred to return to Mumbai to ‘starve’ myself for a religious occasion than to meet Smith for the film. That’s completely incorrect," she had said, adding, "The script reading for The Seven Pounds was just after Diwali when Dadimaa (Teji Bachchan)’s health dipped drastically. What's more, she also turned down another of Will's offer to shoot Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa-Akbar - the rejected film in question was Tonight He Comes. I really do want to do the film with Will. Unfortunately, Will wants to make the film during the time when I’ll be shooting for Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodhaa-Akbar I really wanted to work with her... She has this powerful energy where she doesn’t have to say anything, do anything, she can just stand there. — interest Pakistan Ka Showbiz
