Aishwarya, Rohan team up for Lux ad

After "Kuch Naa Kaho", Aishwarya Rai teams up once again with Rohan Sippy, this time for a sizzling Lux commercial. "That's
right," said media recluse Aishwarya. "Rohan and I have been friends
for ages. When his name cropped up for the new Lux commercial, I
immediately grabbed it. We shot the ad in Dubai and it's turned out
really hot," the actress told IANS.
Talk veers to rumours that Aishwarya has not been giving ample time to the promotion of her films.
"Not
true at all! I've been virtually living out of suitcases, running from
location to location all over the world, trying to get my four new
films ready. Even then I've always made myself available for the
promotion of all my films."
She admits being hard pressed for
time during the release of "Mistress Of Spices", and therefore being
unable to participate in the promos.
"I nevertheless agreed to a
number of one-on-ones on the film. What could I do if the press persons
were looking for more spice than I could give them about the film?" she
laughed, dodging all questions on her personal life.
Right now, she's all set to promote Jag Mundhra's "Provoked" in a big way.
"Provoked"
is the harrowing tale of Kiranjit Ahluwalia, a battered Punjabi
housewife and mother of two who is beaten and raped by her alcoholic
husband.
"It's a film and theme I completely believe in. I
suggested we get the real Kiranjit Ahluwalia, whom I play, into the
promotional loop for 'Provoked'.
"As for me not dubbing my lines
in the Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions, I speak Punjabi in
the original English version of the film. So, the Punjabi version needs
no dubbing from me. For the Tamil and Telugu versions I've asked them
to get professional dubbing artistes who speak in these languages. How
would I sound speaking in Tamil and Telugu? I don't think Hrithik
(Roshan) dubbed for the South Indian versions of 'Krrish'."
Her last word on the bikini controversy in "Dhoom 2" -- "Thank god people have stopped talking about it. It was never me."
