She was seated between Dr BS Yediyurappa, Karnataka chief minister, and Prabakar Kore of Belgaum district during the event.
(2) She features on the cover of this month's issue of Verve. March being the month when International Woman's Day is celebrated, it is quite an apt choice that a true 'Woman of Substance'- she has been selected to grace the cover page for this issue.
As per Latest Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Interviews, she said that, "When you land there in winter, you barely wakeup from the jetlag and feel that it's dark like night again"
"The genre of the film we were working on made us relive our college days. I was privy to a close unit of kids (Abhishek, Hrithik and Uday Chopra) who are all childhood friends and felt that I was vicariously part of the gang. Many such memorable experiences that she has had in cities such as Budapest, Mexico City, Machu Pichu, Shanghai, Los Angeles and many more."
