Aishwarya Rai is unfazed by critics

The media’s dished out all kinds of reviews for Aishwarya Rai’s latest offering, Umrao Jaan. While we thought it would take a toll on this beauty, Ash seems refreshingly positive about it. “Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and I thank the media for supporting me in this too. Ever since the film released, I have been flooded with messages from everyone who appreciated the film. From day one, we all knew that comparisons were bound to be made with the old version of the film, so it doesn’t come as a surprise. I am still proud to be a part of a classic like this.” That’s the ada in Ash we really like. What say, JP Dutta?
