Before Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone, it was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who won hearts with her talent in the Hollywood film industry. She appeared on several talk shows and impressed people with her wit and charm. The blue-eyed diva has worked in international movies like Bride and Prejudice, Mistress of Spices, Provoked, The Pink Panther 2 and The Last Legion. With her fantastic acting and bewitching beauty, Aishwarya made a place for herself in the West. Hence, even today, many top stars sometimes mention her name in their interviews.
There was a time when the Ponniyin Selvan actress was getting multiple offers to work on Hollywood projects. However, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was quite selective and slowly distanced herself from working in English or international movies due to scheduling issues. One such film the actress was offered, which she rejected, was Brad Pitt’s starrer Troy.
In an interview with PTI, Aishwarya revealed why she refused to be a part of Wolfgang Petersen’s historical war film. The Ae Dil Hai Mushkil actress revealed, “One of the reasons I declined Troy was that there were some very explicit lovemaking scenes in the script, and a lot of kisses. I was like, ‘Oh my God! I’m not sure’. I couldn’t imagine being comfortable with it.”

In the same interview, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan revealed that Michael Douglas had brought a script for her when he came to India back then. Even Will Smith wanted to work with her for Hancock and Seven Pounds. Aishwarya stated that she didn’t reject these movies because she had an attitude. There were scheduling issues, and she didn’t have time to work overseas.
Earlier in 2012, Brad Pitt shared that he would like to work with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as she’s a versatile actress. He called her one of the most popular Bollywood actresses who became popular in the West because of her style, beauty and acting skills. He addressed how they missed an opportunity to work together in Troy.
Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s last theatrical release was Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan 2 (2023). The period drama film also stars Vikram, Trisha Krishnan, Karthi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Jayam Rani, Jayaram, Prakash Raj and others.
