lol @ her faking the american accent.

She is a self hater and thats why she is hiding her Indian accent.

I am proud to be Indian and I alway end my sentence with "Very Very Good".

How the hell on earth say "very very good" at the end of a sentence makes u more Indian than others?

Lmfao very very good. I was thinking the same thing very very good.

Now that sounds stupid very very good. Lol very very good.

^or you can look like a total douchebag while pretending to be Indian over the internet. Very Very Bad.

Aish was pretty charming on the show, and Oprah doesn't look like a monster from her "A Color Purple" days.

...the fu-k? I am Indian very very good.

I know, very very good. I was talking about very very Samosa, very very bad.

That wasn't a fake American accent, that's called putting some thought into your speech, very very good. Some of my in-laws sound silly when they try to speak Gujarati without "trying."

wait a second... didn't you say you were Guju Pakistani?

That's a matter of opinion....

Just about everybody on the cast of "The Color Purple" was less than attractive.

3rd gen born in pak but 100% gujarati.

very very good.

dude wtf are you talking about, Oprah has almost reached MILF-like proportions. very very almost sexy.

Sorry, but she still looks more masculine than Danny Glover.

Very Very Very True!

It sounds more like British accent smash with Indian accent. She's HOT. I notice her eyes are blue. Is that normal in India or it depends on what ethnic group you are ?

If I had to put a number on it, I'd say light eyes(excluding light brown) have about a 5% occurence. Most of the people in my family and other Indians I've seen with light eyes are usually green or hazel. When I think about it the only people I've seen with blue eyes are old people.

Contacts brotha, contacts.

nah, her eyes are real, if you've seen close-ups of her eyes you'll see some brown areas in them.

They're not green. Brown yeah. Not green though.

^They're green. She's wearing brown contacts there like she has in Raincoat, Chokher Bali and a few other movies:





They're green/grey, not blue. And it is more common in some areas than others.

she is hot

I think Aishwarya is quite proud of her Indian Heritage, but I think she came off as quite arrogant when she went on David Letterman.

How the hell is that an American accent? She doesn't even pronounce her R's.

'Received Pronunciation' is not American. It's British, if anything.

Hell, I bet most Americans don't even know what the word cinema means.

mr moderator you are not allowed to double post



i don't think she is faking her accent, and next thing she really doesn't sound american to me, she just sounds like an indian
who doesn't got a deep indian accent...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gotn8DGRXk lol this does not sound like american accent

nah she was sassy in a good way, Letterman was blushing half the time.

I'm proud of you.....not only did you stop double posting but you also help in enforcing the rules. Good job.

Aren't moderators able to delete posts?

I didn't say she spoke in an american accent. I meant tht she was trying way too hard to sound like like an american.

she has a nice body and she looks elegant

^Weren't you BirdofHighSky or something like that?

no
who is that

Lol, nevermind.

No, not that I'm aware of. If they are, I haven't figured out how to do it.

Lol, I just did.

Apparently there's this incredibly fancy way of deleting posts whereever and whenever you want, but I haven't found it. Luckily, I found the button that says 'delete' next to my post. I swear to god it just appears and disappears at will.

I was off AF for a couple of hours watching d/led episodes of The Office. Oh, that Angela...

How do you guys become mods?

That's on a need to know basis.

no she is not...

that's just how she sounds when she speak English...

Some of my Indian friends don't got an Indian accent...not because they are trying to imitate an American or British accent
but because of the environment they are in, i find that Indians who travels around the world tend to not have such a deep Indian accent...AIs rai
falls into that category...

Just because your Indian doesn't mean you have to got deep Indian accent...

I don't know if your familiar with the Jamaican accent, but for example i got one Indian friend who speaks Hindi with an Indian accent, but when he speak patois he has a totally different accent(like any typical jamaican), his not trying to sound jamaican, that accent just grown on him after he's been in jamaica for a whole 5 years...He don't sound indian at all...except for when he speak hindi...

And trust me patois is damn difficult to imitate for non-Jamaican...

While when other Indians who are in Jamaica tries to talk patois i just have to laugh,
Some people just adapt to certain accents more easily than others, just like ais rai travelling around the world- she probably won't sound so deep..

Just listen to Amitabh Bachchan- he doesn't sound Indian accent except for when he speak Hindi...

she totally covered up that skin-lightening products thing, everyone there is obsessed w/ looking fair. makes me sick.
that's why poor vidisha pavate (hottest indian model) was basically worshiped abroad and spit on in her own country.

but i like the fair skin idolisation! It does me well at least.
Seriously though vidisha pavate is not all that nice.There are far better dark skinned indians. Bips and padma lakhsmi come to mind.

I don't find vidisha facially attractive either. I thought Sheetal Mallar was one of India's top models? She's pretty dark and she's gorgeous, and I believe many Indians find her gorgeous too.

As for ais rai
Well, she was asked a question and she answered honestly..
Not saying all indians think like that but some do.

I don't see anything to get upset about.

dearest sonali, the real reason vidisha pavate is spit upon in bharat is because she is dating a gora. she decided to denounce desi men in an interview w/ simply shekar, some years back. same with ujjwala raut. and ujjwala even had a baby w/ a white man. so yeah... that kinda pisses people off. especially since the white guys they married aint even hot.

Wasn't Manisha Koirala dating an African guy?

And, what about Shashi Kapoor? Did he get spit on by marrying a white woman? I wonder if they would be more lenient on the men.

the men are exempt from such judgement. look at saif and aamir. manisha dated an african guy? ooh i wanna see pics!

didnt bips basu have a tabloid kissing shot with some brazilian type celeb dude? i think celebs in general have their own set of rules.

My mom said Manisha was dating a black guy, but I haven't seen any proof.


What did vidisha exactly say about Indian men? I remember reading an article where Indian fashion models were complaining that Indian men are intimidated by them, because the models will be making lots of money.

Yeah bips pics were all over RD and they were hating on her. I never thought bipasha was slutty...just sensual and comfortable with her body.

Didnt Bipasha claim he was whispering in her ear and not kissing her?

I didn't read the stories..just saw the pics on RD. It was just a stupid kiss. Freaking Europeans kiss their own relatives on the lips.

she said she didnt kiss him, she kinda touches it in her entry for her official website

I had an interesting few days in Lisbon. Made some new friends. Had my bags go missing, endured some technical glitches on stage. But that’s life. At least I got to share a stage with two Oscar winning actors: Hillary Swank and Sir Ben Kingsley.

Hillary was the sweetest. When the luggage snafu happened, she offered me an outfit for the evening. We struck up quite a friendship. Ben Kingsley was very complimentary. Though being compared to Sophia Loren is a little humbling. Sir Paul McCartney had said the same six years ago.

I was overjoyed when the Taj Mahal was included in the Seven Wonders. Although I was very confident that it would make the list, opening that envelope was an immense thrill.

It’s natural to expect that most people around the world don’t know much about Hindi movies. And I found out how wrong I was. I met Christiano Ronaldo, who had a Hindi song for his cellphone ring-tone. He introduced me to his mother, who is another fan of Hindi movies. You learn something new every day.

As always, I came home to another nasty surprise from the media. It’s nice to know that the media circus is still playing. After receiving so much praise and international recognition, from extremely talented people, a silly rumour should be the least of my problems.

Some have even suggested that I planted the story myself as a publicity stunt. Now that doesn’t sound logical at all. I got more attention from the international media for this event than I could ever hope for. And for all the right reasons. Why would I want to curdle that with something like this.
