is often called the most beautiful woman in the world as she stars in a new film entitled bride and Prejudice which opens in selected cities on Friday please say hello to ashwaria [Music] [Applause] [Music] welcome to the show thank you well thank you very much for being here now I've tried to explain a little bit about who you are and where you're from and what you do why don't you help us out here where are you from I'm from India from India I live in Mumbai and right now that used to be a Bombay and they changed it when not so long ago but if so we're still getting used to calling it Mumbai because it's Bombay for us but they changed it right back to Mumbai because that's what it used to be originally and Bombay came with the British colonization and uh and you're uh family still lives there yes yes and you're uh you work in films in India and and this Bollywood thing was I write about that also about calling it Bollywood yes yes yeah yeah she likes it but but is that where it comes from the Bollywood well I I assume because um yeah that's probably how it got identified and initially um when I listened to my seniors they're not extremely ecstatic about the fact that that's the way it's referred to but now it's down in the dictionary so that's the way it is and it's a it's a thriving film industry isn't it like 800 movies a year oh yeah those accounted for yeah plenty and how many films have you been in 25 now and what was your biggest film your biggest worldwide film success well I think the first movie that uh not so long ago was was Dave does that uh that you know premiered at the Cannes festival and that kind of uh got people talking and noticing me yeah and are these films done in in English or not English no in Indian languages in Hindi in Hindi that's a national language yeah and how many languages do you speak well I I can speak about four languages what are those and I do understand yeah okay tell me the four languages Hindi Marathi um my mother Chang Tulu and broken Tamil as well wow it's just crazy because here in the United States uh we speak English and you speak like nearly a half a dozen languages yeah because in India we've got even more languages with the number of states that we have we've got plenty of languages in India now you're I'm right about this globally you're an enormous star aren't you you could go to any place on the globe I just evoke so from you so [Laughter] how did you get into your first um by the way do you live with your parents is that true yes and is that common in India for older children to live with their parents it's fine to live with your parents because um it's also common in India that we don't have to take appointments with our parents to meet for dinner so oh I think we've learned a little something here tonight so how did you get your first job in the film um it's not even which happened by accident well how did you how did that begin and what age did that happen were you a young girl when that began yeah a lot of times here in the United States we hear stories where young girls are discovered and there'd be like 16 or 17 years old and they go on to become a famous superstar models it was something like that yeah not a very different story yeah [Laughter] how did you get into today well the other guy was sick one day and [Applause] now is this this movie the uh the uh the new movie The Bride and Prejudice it's like a Jane Austen but the Bollywood thing it's all musicals is that right yes yeah and are all the movies you're in musicals yes the movies in in India a lot of them are musicals and what is why is that why are they so popular there and not so popular in this country but that's definitely the Indian movie format it has been so for a long time and it's it's what we've grown up on and people absolutely love it I think it's also reflective of our culture which is a celebration so we have songs for every Festival occasions weddings and it's kind of I think this whole thing of art imitates life and vice versa do you have dreams uh for your thought of Hollywood as well yes I know but but uh yeah well I guess so regarded Chicago recently was a musical production but in the old days like in the 30s and 40s it was a lot of musicals in in this country but then it comes in Cycles right did did you see the Happy Days reunion but would you now now uh would you do you do you see a time when you might move to uh Hollywood would you ever consider that or do you want to stay in your native country 's I mean I think as actors or people belong to the fraternity you travel you go where work takes you I don't at this point see any reason to have a permanent shift of residence but yeah all right we want to show a little clip of your movie The Bride and Prejudice can you tell us what we're going to see an Indian because I'm they think you know going to five star hotels or seeing the Palaces of India and that's all that there is to India so um as Lolita standing up in defense off that uh in you know against RC all right so we'll see some of that here okay all right let's take a look wow [Music] it's very exciting to meet you and uh the film opens on on Friday you must be very excited about that yeah and and uh well I'll certainly hope you come back into the on the show again any anytime have you enjoyed the experience so far there's a little more it's a great pleasure to meet you all right ladies and gentlemen we'll be right back with Three Doors Down
