Here's what Aishwarya Rai Bachchan thinks about 'Jazbaa'

It was the small showroom of Longines in the Connaught Place. She stood there answering questions and explaining the concept of Longines' Dolce Vita. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, 40, combines cool and glamour without much ado.

She does not agree that 'Jazba' is her comeback film. She explains. "Mani Ratnam's would have been the first but it did not get going. Though 'Jazbaa' is the second movie I had accepted, it rolled first." She gives it the impersonal, professional touch. She says that the film reflects Sanjay Gupta, the director, who has his own stylised narrative. He has his language of the film.

"This is a role that I would have done even five years ago. But now that I am a mother, there is a certain honesty I could bring to it," she says. She thinks that the team worked very well in 'Jazbaa'. But she thinks that ultimately it is his Sanjay Gupta's film. "I am waiting to watch 'Jazbaa'", she says with all seriousness.

Responding to a dna query whether there was a need to reinvent herself at this stage of her career, she says, "No sir," putting on her best convent English tone, but with a sweet south Indian tingle in her voice. She says that for every role that the actor has to bring in all one's experience. Rai Bachchan is quite loquacious with her tendency to speak fluently. She is more poised than ever, speaking with both conviction and command of what she says.
