Who will Ash work with now?

THE NEW Mrs Bachchan's honeymoon might have ended, but the schism that the Abhiash wedding has created in the film industry has left very few leading men ready to star with her. The newest member of the Bachchan khandaan ...

seems to be bearing the brunt of their so-called 'exclusive' wedding guest list. Most leading men in the industry do not want to work with her any more. A-list heroes like Salman, Shah Rukh and Aamir, Hrithik Roshan, Vivek Oberoi and Saif Ali Khan have already refused to work with her.

Apparently at the World Cup party hosted by SRK at his residence, Salman, Shah Rukh and the others decided to ban Aishwarya and refuse films she stars in. The immediate effect was that Saif opted out of Karan Johar's Tarun Mansukhani-directed film, co-starring Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai. And Shah Rukh Khan is so obviously miffed with the Bachchans that the cold war is now out in the open.

The infamous kiss between Hrithik and Ash in Dhoom 2 that is supposed to be the reason why Hrithik and the Roshan family were not invited to the wedding, has led to the former opting out of films starring Ash. And she already has had problems with Aamir Khan when she opted out of Mangal Pandey — The Rising at the last minute.

Also, Salman and Vivek will never work with Ash for obvious reasons. With Aishwarya Bachchan out of contention for six leading guys in the industry, she is only left with a few choices, apart from her husband Abhishek Bachchan. She is already working on two projects with him — Ramu's Sarkar 2 and Karan's next.
As trade expert Taran Adarsh says, 'Everything depends on the result of her pairing with Abhishek in her upcoming films. If they do well, she'll be safe. Else, she may be in trouble.'
