What do women want?

This is an eternal question for which men will never find an answer.

The same may be true for many filmmakers in the queue to sign Aishwarya Rai for their films. Indeed, what does it take to get Ash to do a film?

She rarely gives dates, but director Jag Mundhra managed to get Ash and successfully complete Provoked with her. The film releases this Friday, April 6.

Asked how he convinced Aishwarya to be a part of the film, Mundhra says, "All beautiful women want the world to know about them, more than their beauty. Aishwarya is an actress, and it is actress within her that made her do this film. She has acting talent, and she proved it in Provoked."
