“The World’s Most Beautiful Woman”
We dare say no one would ever describe Elizabeth Bennet that way, but the argument can be made that the title fits Aishwarya Rai. Ash will be the subject of a segment on Sunday’s 60 MINUTES program on CBS in the U.S. (and we believe that parts of Canada get it, as well? Somebody please correct us if we misapprehend).The segment points out that all you fans of Darcy/Lizzy smut (you know who you are!) might be a little disappointed by BRIDE AND PREJUDICE, because Bollywood movies don’t even permit a smooch:
Bollywood movies contain love and passion, but music and song substitute for actual sex of even the most innocent kind. Rai’s first movie kiss, should she do it, will be a minor scandal among her fans, especially in India. “It would definitely be a topic of discussion,” says Rai. “They’re going to enjoy [talking about it].”
