‘Aishwara didn’t have confidence to carry herself in English’

'Aishwarya Rai didn't have confidence to carry herself in English in the beginning of her career,' says Prahlad Kakkar: 'That's why...'

ishwarya Rai Bachchan isn’t just considered the most beautiful woman, but the actress is known for her charm, grace, confidence globally, wherever she goes. Not to mention, the actress is always so well spoken and on-point in every interview as one sees clips going viral on social media even from such old interviews. But now, adman Prahlad Kakkar who had cast her in a commercial which became a huge hit, even before her pageant and getting into movies has revealed some details about her. In an interview, Prahlad was asked about the actress and her journey. As he also spoke about Sushmita Sen winning the ‘Miss Universe’ crown over Aishwarya, he said that what worked for Sushmita was her confidence in the question answer round at the contest. Prahlad said that he was with Aishwarya at the contest and she was very upset when she lost. He revealed that Aishwarya was wearing heels throughout but wasn’t used to wearing them, so she stumbled in the last round. He also added that Aishwarya’s mother tongue so one has to translate English after thinking in the mother tongue. Kakkar said, “In the beginning of her career, she didn’t have the confidence to be able to carry herself in English. If you’re doing in Tulu or Hindi, she was more comfortable. So, people thought she was stand-offish but she was not that. She’s just a little afraid that people would misconstrued if she doesn’t find the right sentence or words that form the right emotional connect. People need to understand that and that’s why I am so protective about her.”He added that he always knew that she would do so well. “She was so good. I told her mother she’s going to be the next Madhubala’. During this chat, Kakkar also slammed rumours of Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan’s divorce and said that she’s never left the Bachchan house. She’s the bahu and she runs the home, he said. On work front, Aishwarya was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s ‘Ponniyin Selvan 2’.
