Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has declined to co-star with Hollywood superstar Will Smith, yet again!
Two years ago, Smith offered her a role in his comedy film, Hitch which Ash could not accept due to time constraints.
At that time, a besotted Smith who wanted to work with the beauty queen, had said in an interview, “Aishwarya has this powerful energy and doesn’t have to say anything, or do anything, she can just stand there. Anything she’s making, I’ll be there.”
Since then, Aishwarya turned down two more Will Smith projects!
“That’s true,” she laughed. “I had to say no to Will for Seven Pounds and now again for Hancock. I feel awful about it. But I’ve my priorities. Family always comes first.”
Contrary to reports, Aishwarya didn’t declined the film to celebrate Karwa Chauth in Mumbai.
“That’s what the Hollywood press wrote..that I preferred to return to Mumbai to ’starve’ myself for a religious occasion than to meet Will. That’s incorrect! The script reading was just after Diwali when Dadimaa’s (Teji Bachchan’s) health dipped. So, I didn’t make that trip for the reading with Will. Is that wrong? Not to me. I’d any day put family over career.”
Are Ash and Will star-crossed?
“When it has to happen it will happen. There’s something very charismatic about that actor. He gives off very nice vibes. He’s very adventurous as an actor. He did I Am Legend and Pursuit Of Happyness at the same time. He’s an actor, rapper, and a great family man. I like that.”

WOWWWWW that's a load of b.s. You know the real reason she turned Will down 3 or 4 times is because he's black and she's (her family too!) is RACIST! God forbid she has any sort of love scene or romantic involvement on screen with a black man. GASP! Puhlease!!! Will pleeasssssssssse don't ask her again!!!
