Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on becoming Binodini in Tagore's Chokher Bali

From the archive record

Film actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan speaks about her first Bengali film. She says " Yes this has been wonderful experience and the results you have see. I absolutely enjoyed it and treasure it and all thanks to Ritu and the entire team because as you rightly said this is my first bengali film and if there is still a misconception, I am a south Indian. I used to speak Tulu, I dont know Bengali at all. So this meant a lot of concentration, a lot of getting familiar with a new language and its a complete support of the Director, all the assistant directors, the cast. Thank you so much for making it so easy and memorable for me and thereby making it possible for me to become the Binodini without letting a language really stress the actor in me.
