'I am already a superwoman in real life'

Marriage seems to agree with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Despite globe-trotting -- from Peru to shoot for her Tamil film with Rajnikanth to Paris for an ad shoot -- and attending dos back home, like the Drona premiere, and a fashion show in Kolkata, Ash keeps up the glow, and looks stunning.

Sreya Basu caught up with the Bachchan bahu for a candid interview.

Abhishek plays a superhero in 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 with me.

You were the initiator of the Unforgettable world tour. Is that true?

Not the only but one of the initiators. Actually, way back when Abhishek [Bachchan] and I were just co-stars, I kept telling him that we should be a part of a troupe and go on a world tour. And he would always say it's not the right time. But I never thought my wish would be fulfilled in such a grand way and that we will be part of the team as man and wife.

'Abhishek is everything I wanted my man to be and more'

You are married for over a year. Are you more 'a Bachchan bahu' or Abhishek's wife?

[laughs] Both are the same.

Really?

See, when Abhishek proposed to me, we were only lovers. But when you are married, you can't expect to remain only a wife. I am happy that Abhishek gave me such a wonderful and caring family. Abhishek 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?

You should have come with us to the world tour. Girls went mad screaming for Abhishek. And, ask Abhishek to comment on my fans on my behalf.

| 'We give each other enough breathing space' Coming back to Drona, what do you have to say about Shah Rukh 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. Has marriage changed you? Not at all. I am what I was. See, we are not married for changing ourselves. But of course when two people settle down together, there are little adjustments to be made on both sides. Other than that, we give each other enough breathing space.

While everyone was expecting you two to be a part of a romantic film, your first post-marriage release was Sarkar Raj. When will the audience see you romancing each other on screen? In Mani Ratnam's next. The film is called Ravan but the title may change. But I won't need to 'act' in that film. During your marriage, there was speculation that your marriage is actually a marriage of brands. What rubbish! Do you think our marriage would have survived even for a day if it was not out of love? Tell me, what can I do if my father-in-law is Amitabh Bachchan, mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan, my hubby Abhishek Bachchan and I am the bahu of the Harvansh Rai Bachchan family?

'Abhishek and I would love to blog'

Is there any competition within the family?

Compete with Amitabh Bachchan on acting! Forget it! And Abhishek is my hubby and I, like any Indian wife, can only be proud of his achievements.

Are you planning a family now?

I already have a family! [laughs loud] I know what you exactly mean. Do you think I will be able to hide it under my drapes if there is really something right now? And trust me, I won't even try to hide it.

Amitabh Bachchan is into blogging. Do you have any such plans in future?

Blogging is the best way to communicate with our well-wishers. It's like sharing your happiness, worries and achievements will all our fans, who make us stars.

I have seen Pa's blog -- how people interact with him with so much ease, as if they are sitting beside him. Both Abhishek and I would love to blog but don't have enough time to dedicate to it. So for the time being, we will have the media as our communicator.
