Aishwarya overtakes Sushmita yet again
In the early 90s, there was a huge rivalry between beauty queens Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai after they participated in the Miss India pageant together.
Though it seemed that they were going neck to neck, it was Ash who came out triumphant in the long run with better and bigger films like ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’, ‘Devdas’, and the more recent ‘Dhoom:2′ and ‘Guru’.
She has maintained herself much better( Sushmita has done badly in that department and looks much older) and also became the envied Bachchan bahu.
Ash seems to have left Sush behind once again now.
After Sushmita Sen decided to shelve her ambitious project on the valiant queen Laxmi Bai, director Ketan Mehta is thinking of reviving his project on the Rani of Jhansi. He had kept Ash in mind and wishes to sign her again.
Mehta had even approached Aishwarya to play Rani Laxmibai. But the project never took off for various reasons including Mehta’s differences with producer Bobby Bedi.
In the meantime Sushmita Sen announced her plan to make a film on Laxmibai.
She was ambitious about the whole idea and researched extensively for the film. She looked hard for a director but all the work has gone waste because she has ultimately decided not to go ahead with the project.
Now after this latest development, Mehta has decided to revive his shelved project. And sources say that Aishwarya Rai still happens to be his first choice to play the queen of Jhansi.
Ash has already played a warrior in the Hollywood film ‘The Last Legion’ (that was a major failure) for which she trained in horse riding and sword fighting.

Shah Rukh's home attacked, actor says he's worried
Mumbai/London (PTI): Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's bungalow in Mumbai was attacked with kerosene- filled bottles by unknown persons in the wee hoursof Friday, an incident which the actor, currently in London, said has made him quite worried about the safety of his family.
"Around 0230 hours, motorcycle-borne miscreants threw the bottles filled with kerosene and fled the scene. The security men at the residence 'Mannat' (in suburban Bandra) chased the miscreants but in vain," Mumbai's Deputy Commissioner of Police Niket Kaushik told PTI.
Nobody sustained any injuries, he said, adding there have been no arrests so far.
Reacting to the incident, Shah Rukh said: "They came and hurled a couple of bottles which apparently had petrol in them I think. They caught a little fire but wasn't so dangerous. Of course, it makes you feel worried about the safety of your family and children at home."
The police are yet to ascertain the motive of the attack. It is also not clear whether it has anything to do with Shah Rukh's film "Billu" which had a global release on Friday.
The film, which was earlier titled "Billu Barber" ran into controversy after some barber associations objected to the word "barber". The name of the film was changed to avoid further problems.
