Aishwarya Rai's humane touch

On Monday, a shoot involving Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan was supposed to take at a suburban mall. The entire mall was to be cordoned off for the entire day.
That would have brought business to a standstill and resulted in a huge loss for the shop owners. But Aishwarya stepped in and saved the day for the shop owners.
She asked her producer to cordon off only the area where the shoot was taking place and let business run in the other sections of the mall.
Aishwarya was shooting for Vipul Shah’s Action Replay and she was doing the portions in which she had to sport an old lady’s get-up.
Vipul was extra cautious about not revealing her look. So his production team told him to book the mall for the entire day.A source says, “On Ash’s insistence, the makers cordoned off only a certain portion of the mall. But when word spread that Ash was in the mall, people in huge numbers wanted to get a glimpse of her.Vipul and Ash pleaded to the people to let them shoot. Ash promised the people that she would catch up with them post the shoot and she did it by posing for around 250 pictures with fans. In between shots, Ash herself took the onus of covering her face fully thereby not revealing her look.”Vipul says, “We wanted to hide her look and that’s why we were discreet. It’s a big-budget film. To protect the look I will have to take adequate precautions so that it doesn’t get photographed and is leaked out. Ash was very warm with the people after pack up and she clicked many photographs with them.”
