The Abhiash story it taking off on many tangents. And the big Q is whether Ash will quit work to be the Bachchan bahu or continue to hold her own in Bollywood.


And we asked our readers which actress they thought would get maximum mileage if Aishwarya Rai quits the film industry after marriage.


The Poll had a whopping 52 per cent of the city voting for Priyanka Chopra as the right replacement for Ash. Rani Mukherji was second with 26 per cent votes, while Kareena Kapoor and Preity Zinta had to contend with 18 and 4 per cent of the votes respectively.


Director Hemant Hegde agrees with the popular opinion. “if Ash quits the Bollywood, it will cause big damage to the industry. As for finding a successor for her in Bollywood, well, i think there is nothing like a rat race in Bollywood and Rani, Preity, Priyanka, Kareena or Bipasha are all at par. But personally, i feel Priyanka Chopra would get mileage if Ash quits.”


However, filmmaker Sudhir Mishra is at a loss of answer. “it would be really tough for anybody to replace Ash who is a combination of beauty, brains and talent. Also, who steps into her shoes not only depends on the potential of an actress but also on the directors, stories and other dimensions of filmmaking that go to make a hit movie,” he avers.


According to director Shyam Benegal, “it’s an ongoing process - Rekha was replaced by Sridevi, who in turn was replaced by Madhuri Dixit and Madhuri was succeeded by Ash. Kareena, Vidya Balan and many other talented and beautiful actresses could now replace Ash. in place of taking a single name i would say that if it happens then a mix of talent and beauty would replace Ash.”
