Mani and Kenny sir: Ash
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,June 14 2010]
When she started working with Mani Ratnam for ÂIruvarÂ, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan used to call the ace director ÂMani sirÂ. But now, after doing multiple projects with him, the Miss World turned actress is calling the filmmaker Mani.
In contrast, Aishwarya, who called her ÂRaavanan and ÂRaavan costar Vikram by his name during the initial days of the shoot, is now calling him ÂKenny sirÂ, thanks to her husband Abhishek Bachchan.
ÂI started calling Mani Ratnam as Mani only after he strictly insisted me to do so, on the sets of ÂGuruÂ. Coming to Vikram, Abhi has a lot of respect for him and calls him Kenny sir. So I too followed the suit, she says.
The Bachchan daughter in law adds with a smile: ÂWe also call Vikram by other names too. They are Chiyaan, Aarumugam, Veera and Dev. While Aarumugam is the name of the character Vikram played in ÂDhoolÂ, Veera and Dev are his names in ÂRaavanan and ÂRaavan respectively.
