Dressed in blue jeans, a light-brown leather jacket and brown embroidered leather boots, Aishwarya Rai looked quite stunning. The blue-eyed beauty will celebrate her 33rd birthday on November 1, and the nation is waiting for November 3, when her Umrao Jaan hits theatres.
On Tuesday, October 26, Ash (accompanied by director JP Dutta, right) was around to meet and distribute prizes among contest winners of a Reliance Mobile Umrao Jaan contest. While the event was held in Mumbai, she also interacted with winners from other locations through the Video Conference link.
One mesmerised fan who won the prize from the Vashi branch cheekily asked Ash out on a date, inviting her to lunch. As this was happening in front of all the media, an embarrassed Ash was caught momentarily off-guard. She then blushed and thanked him for the invitation before moving on towards other questions.
Speaking about why Abhishek Bachchan has not been present for any of the Umrao Jaan promotions, she said, "Its just (about the) schedules, but we are trying to get him once before the release. Let's hope it happens soon."
When asked how she plans to celebrate her birthday Ash said she hasn't yet planned anything but that "she will spend it with her loved ones."
