Aishwarya Rai

Abhishek is playing a superman in his recent release DRONA. Don't you too want to play a superwoman in future?
Why in future? I am already a superwoman in real life. Ask any married woman and she will agree to my answer.

You are just back from The Unforgettable tour. As far as we know, you have been the initiator of this entire idea. True?
Not the only but one of the initiators. Actually way back when Abhishek and I were just co-actors, I kept telling him 'let's be a part of a troupe and go on a world tour'. And he kept on saying 'It's not the right time'. But I never thought that my wish will be fulfilled in such a grand way and that we will be part of the team as man and wife.

You too are married for over a year. Are you more 'a Bachchan bahu' or Abhishek's wife?
(laughs) Both are the same.

Really?
Okay. See, when Abhishek proposed to me, we were only lovers. But when you are married you can't expect to remain only a wife. Isn't it? I am happy that Abhishek gave me such a wonderful and caring family. As for Abhishek, he is everything I wanted my man to be and more.

But has marriage affected your male fan following, and in Abhishek's case, his female fan following?
For this, you should have come with us to the world tour. Girls went mad screaming for Abhishek. And, well...ask Abhishek to comment on my fans on my behalf.

Coming back to DRONA, what do you have to say about Shahrukh Khan attending the premiere in Mumbai?
What do I have to say...it's for the media to say and scribble. Jokes apart, see in spite of all our differences we are part of the film fraternity and it's our courtesy to welcome all fellow-members. It's not just being good to one person but the entire industry.
