Bhansali’ Guzaarish allows Aish a break

The ‘Paa’ is schedule for its release this week. And its lead man Amitabh Bachchan is said to be on toes promoting for the film here and there. Seeing this, his beautiful bahu Aishwarya was concerned to help him. The actress, who is working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’, is said to have expressed her helplessness about being unavailable to help Big B to the filmmaker, sources revealed.

Bhansali who is known for as strict disciplinarian on sets, made up his mind to give her an off on those crucial days on and before the premiere. “Sanjay saw how stressed Aishwarya was, trying to balance Guzaarish with the time required to pitch in with her father-in-law for Paa. In fact, Mr Bachchan has been running around alone inviting the film fraternity for the premiere on December 3 since Abhishek has been shooting non-stop in Goa for Ashutosh Gowariker and Jayaji is inDelhi attending parliament,” quoted the sources.

The director didn’t even mind to make adjustments on his schedule, sources added. “It's no big deal,” said Bhansali, “Adjusting my schedule is the least I can do for someone who has been a dear friend for many years. But this was not done for Aishwarya. It was for Paa and Mr Bachchan. It's a very special moment for the family.
