Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is set to be the global face of UN girl child campaign
Elegant beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last in news regarding speculations of her attending the Cannes Festival this year. But here we have some useful update about the beauty queen. It is learnt that the actor has agreed to be a part of the United Nations’ Save the Girl Child campaign.

And it was even before Indian citizens and state governments went hysterical over the topic of discussion on Aamir Khan’s TV show Satyamev Jayate, female foeticide, Ash was offered a chance to campaign for the girl child by United Nations Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon.

This happened at the Ambani party, to which the high-profile gentleman and various top Bollywood stars, including Aamir, were invited and after mulling it over, Ash has said ‘yes’ to being part of the campaign.

As mother to a baby girl (Aaradhya) born a few months ago (November 16), we’re sure Ash had no qualms about accepting the offer. All she must have checked is her schedule. The actor supports various other causes, including eye donation for the Eye Bank Association of India, Smile Train for children with cleft lip, and many others.

With big Bollywood stars coming forward and showing their support to the girl child, let’s just hope they are able to bring about a big change in the mindset of millions of Indians who crave a male child. And with Aishwarya leading the way, the movement could trigger a global change, too. What do you think?

Face-off between Aishwarya and Karisma avoided by Raveena Tandon

Face-off between Aishwarya and Karisma avoided by Raveena Tandon

Meeting with your husband’s ex is never a pleasant moment and the same must have been felt by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan when she unknowingly bumped into Karisma Kapoor at a dinner hosted by Nita and Mukesh Ambani.

Everyone knows that Aishwarya’s hubby Abhishek Bachchan was at one point of time engaged to Lolo, however later the engagement was called off and the later settled down with Delhi based businessman Sanjay Kapur.

However, recently during a dinner held in honour of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon at the Ambani couple's residence Antilla, Lolo and Ash came face to face at the main entrance. Since Antilla has a common entrance and reportedly, it was Aishwarya who arrived first, while she stepped out of her car, Karisma’s vehicle was next to follow.  As Aishwarya was about to step inside the party, someone told her about Karisma’s presence.

Within no time, Ash came face to face with Karisma and both looked through each other. It was an awkward scene but a prompt Raveena, along with her hubby Anil Thadani walked into the frame and greeted Ash with a hug, which averted the big face off.

What a close call! Wonder if the two would have greeted each other had Raveena not played saviour!
