She may be the mother of a baby girl now, she may have put on weight and she may not be working in films for a while. But the fact remains that Ashwariya Rai-Bachchan to date has a huge fan-following all over the world.

During last week’s Cannes Film Festival (the event marked by razzmatazz and some good films) Ash babe was asked to partake in a session with Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin. There Alec told her that he was a big fan of Ash’s and not just him, there are many A-list Hollywood actors who admire her. Alec’s girlfriend also told the former Miss World that she looked prettier after the baby and must work in Hollywood films as soon as she finds herself ready for it.

Man, whatever happened to Hollywood? No wonder they’re making masala films now.
