Most of the industry derided Ashutosh Gowariker for his impulsive outburst against Priyanka Chopra. The director spoke up about the merits of PC deserving the Best Actress award at the recently concluded event over Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Jaya Bachchan even came out strongly in support of her bahu's Jodhaa Akbar director.
Eyebrows raised
Several eyebrows were raised at Ashu's mention of Jaya Bachchan on stage, to endorse and substantiate his public objection to Priyanka's trophy.
The forthright Mrs B not only stands up for Gowariker but also gives him a clean chit for mentioning her in his pro-Aishwarya speech.
Nothing against PC
Initially, reluctant to speak on the matter, Jaya makes it clear she has nothing against Priyanka's performance in Fashion, "For all I know, she must be really good in it. I haven't seen Fashion. She's undoubtedly a good actress. I don't have any objection to her winning the award. But I wonder why Aishwarya's fine performance was ignored. I think she and the Jodhaa-Akbar cinematographer Kiran Deohans richly deserved recognition for their work."
When persuaded, Jaya finally opens up. "It is being presumed that Ashutosh unnecessarily mentioned my name regarding Aishwarya's omission from the awards. The fact is, I suggested he bring up the question on stage. We were discussing why Aishwarya had not been given any award for Jodhaa-Akbar. I suggested Ashutosh bring up the matter. When he mentioned my name, he wasn't doing anything wrong."
Very strange
Warming up to the subject of Aishwarya's performance in Jodhaa-Akbar, Jaya says, "The entire principal cast and crew of Jodhaa-Akbar have been rightly nominated for the popular awards and have won also. I find it very strange that Aishwarya who lived her part and looked every inch the royal Rajasthani queen in her body language and overall performance was ignored."

priyanka was well deserving. the role done by aishwariya was easy n can be acted by any other heroine
ReplyDeletevery true. anyone who is not camera shy cud hv done d jodha dat aishwarya did.
ReplyDeletebtw, leave her n the bitch gowariker alone. jaya bachhan is a stuck-up, snobbish, self/family-obsessed BIATCH for even sayin anything like that. she shd watch Fashion.
i think that priyanka chopra deserved it as it was her first best actress award aishwarya rai probably has had too many awards in the past....okay fine she did do good in jodhaa akhbar but that doeosnt mean that she should be goven the award staright away when pc had also acted good.
ReplyDeleteits really bad wat the hell ashutosh said...i feel dat jaya shud see fashion first nd aftr dat she shud ccomment on pc...in my opinion pc was far better den aish
ReplyDeleteIIFA is all about the Bachan's and Filmfare is all about Shah rukh khan. Nobody wants to attend these functions anymore. They should give all the awards to Shah rukh khan and the bachan family. Why bother nominating other actors. All the awards shah rukh khan got were for singing and dancing. Sunny doel, anil kapoor, aamir khan, were ignored. Aishwariya gave only a hand of hits and got the Actress of the decade award. Rani deserved it better. Jaya bitchan is a bias, greedy, and selffish woman. She doesnt need to comment without watching Fashion first. Priyanka did a way better job than aishwariya. I was happy to see atleast the best actress award was given out fairly. Kajol is a good actress but did she really deserve the award for khabhi kushi khabhi gum and fanaa? Really what did she do in those films? madhuri for hum aapke ke hain kaun kaun and dil toh pagal hain?? no wonder most of the actors like aamir khan, ajay devgan, the deols, salman khan doesnt wanna take part in the awards nights.
ReplyDeleteAt Times..this saas bahu ka pyar seems so superficial...m sure there is love there, but why do ppl need to always prove a point, i guess everyone has just forgotten the simpler ways of expressing their love....Ironic as it may seem they use HATRED even to express their LOVE..huh... :(
