Will
Aish do the honours at Oscars?

MUMBAI:
Aishwarya Rai's certainly out for the kill abroad - sources
say the Oscar organisers have invited her to present a trophy
at the awards ceremony on Sunday.
"It's a unique honour for an Indian entertainer, and one
that Ash shouldn't miss for the world," exults Gurinder
Chadha, who directed her in Bride
and Prejudice .
Just one hitch, though. She will be shooting for Chadha's
husband Paul Berges' Mistress
of Spices on the night before the ceremony.
Aishwarya is currently shooting for the film in Britain. The
film's US distributors, the prestigious Miramax, have opted
for a large number of prints of Bride
& Prejudice in the second week.
So will Aishwarya miss this unique moment of glory?
Says Chadha, "Miramax is very keen to get to the Oscars.
Frankly, so am I. But the problem is my husband thinks our
film is more important. And I agree. Ash's schedule with Paul
ends Saturday night.
"We'll try to get her out into the US the same night. I'm
attending the Oscars as the date for Sid Ganis, who's the
deputy chairperson of the Academy awards and is going to
produce my next film 'I Dream Of Jeannie'.
"I hope and pray Ash can make it too. It's a big
honour."
Meanwhile, Chadha rubbishes a story in an Indian daily about
her son's marriage to a Japanese girl.
"What son? Whose marriage? I don't have a son!" she
shot back incredulously.
