Newly wed Aishwarya Rai is finding it difficult to get used to her new name following her marriage to fellow film star Abhishek Bachchan.

The superstar couple tied the knot in a ceremony in Mumbai, India last April 20, the climax of three-days of festivities.

But the Bollywood actress admits she still finds it strange when people use her new moniker.

She says, "This is the first travel where people start calling you, 'Hello Mrs Bachchan, good evening'.

"I've maybe done a double take at times, but pleasantly so, it makes us smile, so it's been good."
 
Like, who cares?

I love the color pink but sometimes when you overdo a color, it just doesn't look good. I like pink cotton candy but after a few pinch here and there, you'd want to vomit. It's the same feeling I have with this outfit and what's worse is that I don't even need to pinch it. Just looking at it makes me want to ask for a barf bag.

Rai, Most Beautiful to Who?

Newly-married Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai has been ordered to appear in an Indian court, after a kiss with co-star Hrithik Roshan in movie Dhoom-II was deemed "obscene". Rai - who wed actor Abhishek Bachchan in a modest ceremony at the Bachchan family home in Mumbai, India, in April- is accused by a local lawyer of "offending public sensibility" in the scene where she is kissed lightly on the cheek.

Public displays of affection are taboo in India where under the country's law; a conviction of public obscenity means a potential three months behind bars or a fine.

Roshan, along with the owners of the cinema which screened the action film, has also been summoned to court in Muzaffarpur in the eastern state of Bihar, on May 30th.

A court official says, "The court also sent notices to the Bihar government for allowing screening of the film despite its 'obscene' content."

The new debate over obscenity comes just days after a similar case was brought against Hollywood star Richard Gere and Shilpa Shetty, after the Pretty Woman actor swept the beauty into his arms and kissed her several times at an HIV/AIDS awareness event in New Delhi on April 15th.

Didn't somebody say she was/is the world's most beautiful woman? Ah, we can spend decades debating this issue so let's just settle something else. She is without doubt wearing one of the worlds most boring outfit. Now, that one doesn't need arguments. Settled. Case Closed.

Unlucky

Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan has denied reports he attempted to exorcise a curse from his soon to be daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai. Indian press coverage in November alleged the Bachchan family performed Hindu religious rituals to lift bad luck from the 33-year-old former Miss World - who announced her engagement to Abishek Bachchan in January this year - at a sacred site in India.

But Amitabh says, "Nothing like this ever took place", adding the media had been "intrusive and insensitive" over the family's visit to a temple in Varanasi, where the exorcism was reported to have occurred.

Rai is known in her native India as being under a "manglik" - a curse determined by her horoscope. According to astrologers, Abhishek could risk a premature death if he weds Rai before the unlucky burden is removed.

Astrologers have suggested the actress could be forced to marry a tree or an idol of Hindu god Vishnu to remove her "unlucky" status.

I don't know what to say…

Exorcise the demon who made you wear this bloodcurdling frock Ms. Rai.
