      She has been given way more importance a nd respect than what she deserves. A nation where 99.9 % of people are dark skinned to black have chosen her to be their representative because she got her looks from her British grandma. This is embarrassing. She gave over 16 flop movies but still she kept getting movies. Whenever there are foreign delegates and political gatherings, Ashwaroya was chosen to represent bollywood while Madhuri, Rekha, Kajol, Rani, Kareena etc ( top 5 heroines ) stood in corners.

    29:35 ARR: People lack motivation now, and most of us don't know why we are born. So if we look at south India, this movie actually emphasizes the achievements of the ancestors. When you see that, you get inspired. OMG, I live in such a legacy, what am I doing? I just can't celebrate the legacy, I just want to do something. I think it's going to evoke that passion. And even if you look at cultures, people condescend, you're from the South, you're from North, you're from East, West. I think it's so important to revive and show people what they're made of. And I feel that this would end all that! No divide and help us celebrate each other.

    Mani ratnam sir ar rahman sir shankar sir rajni sir kamal sir are pride of tamil cinema. True pan india actors and directors. Missing that golden era of tamil cinema. Aishwarya rai ma'am is truly underrated in bollywood and she's welcomed in south. Wish she makes more movies with south stars especially tamil actors please. Imagine a film with vijay Aishwarya rai and kamal Aishwarya rai or a surya Aishwarya rai movie. Aishwarya rai is usually treated as glamour doll in bollywood its only mani ratnam sir who found her as a performer.
