Aishwarya Rai is everywhere! We saw her some time back at 'David Letterman's Late Show' and now she is the first Indian star to feature in 'The Oprah Winfrey show', one of the most widely watched television shows all over the globe. In the Oprah Show that was aired on Tuesday, Oprah wore a sari that Ash had brought along.

While the two talked about various subjects, there is a lot of debate as to whether Aishwarya sounded genuine enough on the screen. When asked whether she recognised she was gorgeous, the 'well-trained' Ash said "To me, beautiful is as beautiful does. I think that's what speaks volumes. It isn't about the apparent gig. It's about what you do". Well, is that a 'Miss World' speaking?

Excerpts from the interview...

Oprah: We did a show recently where we were looking at women around the world, and we were talking to French women at a cafe. ... They said (Americans) are all fat.

Aishwarya: I'm from India, I wouldn't say that because Indian people, Indian people eat well, we're well endowed.

Oprah: Do they say we're rude?

Aishwarya: No, Indian people are very hospitable.

Oprah: Do they say we talk too much?

Aishwarya: Opinionated maybe.

Oprah: Do they say we get a lot of divorces?

Aishwarya: Ah, that could be a discussion.

Oprah: You know what, you could be a diplomat!
