Oh la la, things are heating up in Bollywood! The latest buzz is that the dialogue in Bipasha Basu's upcoming political action thriller Lamhaa makes fun of none other than B-town royalty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! Watch out Lamhaa script writers, you don't want to become Mrs. Bachchan's enemy!

We hear that a dialogue in the movie makes fun of Ash! Who would dare do such a thing? At one point in the movie Anupam Kher says "When Aishwarya Rai is unable to see the moon, it makes news. But why don't the media report the plight of those thousands of Kashmiri wives who haven't seen their husbands for years?"

Ouch! We bet Ash is not happy about this! How did the script writers get away with this? Well, not so fast; Lamhaa's producer Bunty Walia and director Rahul Dholakia assure everyone that they did never have the intention to make fun of the popular actress; they were simply making the point that some Bollywood stars' private life get more media attention than the lives of women suffering in war town regions:

"The dialogue in the film by the separatist leaders uses Mrs. Rai Bachchan as a metaphor to the Bollywood centric media who prefer covering the personal lives of icons and intrude into their private lives, making breaking news, instead of covering the real life poignant stories of Kashmiri half-widows. The comment is not a slur or an attack on the actress in anyway," director Rahul Dholakia told The Times of India. "The purpose of the scene was never intended to mock Aishwarya Rai. We would never do anything to hurt anyone's sentiments," added Bunty Walia.

Hopefully Ash's fans will settle for this explanation! What is your take on the controversy? Do you think it's clear that the dialogue in Lamhaa is not making fun of Aishwarya, or do you think it needs clarification? Drop us a line.
