Even though some of her endorsements were never renewed, Aishwarya continues to be a global brand and it is said that Aishwarya is still raking in as much as twelve crores a year in endorsements.
Though the actress has neither endorsed any new products nor signed any new ventures, she is one person who pays her taxes on time.


Dedication to work


Recently while shooting for Priyadarshan’s forthcoming project De Dana Dan, Katrina was down with flu and was bedridden for two days. Her illness threw the schedule out of gear and the unit was forced to shoot other portions. Doctors advised her complete rest and although she was supposed to shoot for a song, she was unable to. But Katrina didn’t want to hold up the shooting, so she resumed for the shoot just after two days.
“Her dedication towards
her work left the entire cast
and crew impressed,” says a close source. Trust Kats to be a thorough professional.



Madhuri taken for a ride


The Khan family is known to have been the original stars who have always had a way with wheels. All three brothers (Salman, Arbaaz and Sohail) go on a biking binge at their Panvel farm, where a fleet of ATVs are also parked for the fun and fancy of friends, who visit the lavish Khan abode to relax almost every week.
In fact, Arbaaz Khan’s son seven-year-old Arhaan too is an expert with these all terrain vehicles and is seen speeding through the farmland, just like the senior Khans. So when it came to filming a fast paced song featuring Arbaaz Khan and debutante Madhuri Bhattacharya on a bike recently in Mysore, for Ashok Kheny’s Prem Kaa Game, the unassuming Arbaaz pretended that he is paranoid about two-wheelers.
Much to the disbelief of the newcomer, who was to be expected sit on the pillion of a bike ridden by a self-proclaimed amateur. However as the cameras began to roll, she hesitatingly got behind her hero who continued his act by telling her that she should pray that they survive this lengthy shot where he was expected to speed down a steep slope on the bike. The poor girl was literally having a nervous breakdown as she clutched on to the so-called amateur rider, who was nervously racing his mean machine. But finally as the camera rolled and Arbaaz took off doing a wheely taking off on the back wheel, Madhuri nearly passed out. When she regained her consciousness, she realised that they were cruising at a top speed with Arbaaz in total control of the black beauty.
Heaving a sigh of much-needed relief, she began enjoying the rest of the ride, forgetting that she had been taken for one.
