Aishwarya Rai: I'm told that I belong to another era Aishwarya Rai: I'm told that I belong to another era It looks like costume dramas and Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai are meant for each other. After "Devdas" and "Umrao Jaan", she will now be seen in Ashutosh Gowariker's "Jodha-Akbar". She has been a part of so many films that require elaborate sets and costumes, including Rituprano Ghosh's "Chokher Bali" and Mani Ratnam's forthcoming opus "Guru", which is also a period film of sorts opening as it does in the 1950s. Then of course there're those costume-period dramas in Aishwarya's life that never happened, like Raj Santoshi's "Prithviraj-Sanjukta". "I've often been told that I belong to another era. And my selection of films reflects that old-world reality," Aishwarya told IANS. - Subhash K. Jha
