Aishwarya Rai talks about the love-pill this august, Kyun! Ho Gaya Na 
By IndiaFM News Bureau, August 10, 2004 - 05:37 IST
With an international foray in Bride and Prejudice, a brimming lovelife and the bollywood kitty lined with selective projects, the bollywood beauty is sitting pretty. In an interview with IndiaFM, the stunner answers media Q n A with finesse and poise, Rai style.
How was it working with Amitabh Bachchan? What's his role in the movie like?
It was fabulous working with him, as always. You are going to see Bachchanji in a totally different avatar. Amitji plays the role of ‘Uncle'. He is a warm, lovable, fun-headed character. Trust me, you will love him all the way.
What is Kyun! Ho Gaya Na about?
Both Vivek and me share contrasting views on love and marriage. He is conventional and traditional in his thoughts while I play this cupid struck woman who insists that being in love is the only route to marriage. But at some point in the movie, our paths intersect. That's Kyun! Ho Gaya Na for you.
There have been many successful star pairs. What according to you makes them click?
I'll leave the analysis to you. But I think, its when people like a particular character that they grow fond of the pair. And I guess, it's no different in my case either. Audiences loved the Salman-Ash pair in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. The Ash-Akshaye combination in Taal was well received too. People have loved the SRK-Ash jodi in Devdas & Mohabbatein. Hope the moviegoer likes the Ash-Vivek pair too!
Personally, whom do you think you share the best chemistry with?
It may sound clichéd, but I genuinely loved working with all my co-artists. Every film and narrative brings to screen a different chemistry between the stars. So, I enjoyed every experience. You will see me co-star with Ajay in Raincoat. Co-incidentally, people have appreciated this pairing too. So there you see…
Your character in Khakee had grey shades. Will we get to see more of Ash in negative roles?
I have always been open to all kinds of roles. The actress in me is welcome to versatility. I have never shied from mature roles either. As long as the script interests me, I am game. After having played emotionally soggy roles in movies like Devdas, Chokher Bali and now Raincoat, Kyun! Ho Gaya Na is a fun break that I am taking. The last time I played a bubbly character was as Shirley in Josh.
How is the pre-release response to the movie?
Oh, it has been overwhelming! All the mails and texts that keep pouring into my website keep confirming that the promos have gone exceptionally well with the audiences. Hope the movie does well too!
