Aishwarya Rai and Erin Heatherton lend their voices at the United Nations 2012 Every Woman Every Child Dinner held at The Museum of Modern Art on Tuesday (September 25) in New York City. The 38-year-old Bollywood actress and Erin, 23, were joined by Smash actress Debra Messing and Shaquille O’Neal at the charity event. Aishwarya was recently named the UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador and her role will be mainly to advocate the Global Plan, aiming to eliminate new HIV infections among children by 2015 and keep their mothers alive.
US Media wondered what was all the hullabaloo about Aishwarya’s weight – “Indian critics and bloggers went f—king crazy criticizing Aish for not losing her postpartum baby weight soon enough. There were some in India who felt that Aishwarya was ‘letting her people down’ by not getting back to her old figure soon enough. Rai appeared at the Cannes Film Festival one week later, and she still looked magnificent”, wrote a popular website.
Yet another online magazine commented – “As you can see in these photos, Rai is still gorgeous, and she still a voluptuous woman. That’s all I really have to say – she looks great. I wouldn’t mind if she changed up her style a bit, but maybe she feels like she has to wear more traditional Indian clothing when she’s overseas, like she’s a representative of Indian style.”
Yes the scarlet ‘Lehenga-Gown’ by Sabyasachi Mukherjee did make Aishwarya Rai look a bit matrontly. She is consciously opting for such silhouettes to conceal the bumps and flabs. A reader rightly pointed out – “She (Aish) isn’t that fat, but unfortunately her neck is. Those rings of fat are what make her look awful. And she was previously beautiful because her eyes were too big for her face…now not so much.”
Our Desi Aishwarya is truly gorgeous, she says;
“I will be more than a poster girl for a UNAIDS initiative, launched last year. The initiative aims to prevent the spread of HIV to babies and keep infected mothers alive in 22 countries, including India”.
Cheers to our Desi Queen
Whatever!! I still feel Bachchans are attention seekers….. they always come up with new things for the publicity
Personally, I think Ash made a sensible move. With Bollywood offers dwindling she can still stay in news with these questionable appointments. I say questionable because unless you are Oprah..willing to shell your own money or an Angelina…world famous superstar actively working for humanitarian reasons ….these pretty little christies and aishwaryas……have a long way to go before we all go gaga over their appointments. Back to Ash, maybe she is preping for a Rajya sabha seat like her MIL….good for her. .. oh about the UNAIDS ambassador….my a**…. this prudish woman cannot say the word ‘SEX’ in her interview…wonder how she is going to talk about safe sex and condoms …..maybe she will flutter her beautiful eyes , fold her hands in a namaste and talk about birds and bees…..
Bang On Sunshine !
