It’s All About Family
We’ve seen the Bachchans accompany Aishwarya time and again, but seeing Dev take Mommy Dearest to the London Film Critics’ Circle Film Awards sure makes us go ‘awwww’.
What about you?
P.S. Oh, we love his casual unbuttoned look too! ;)
Dev Patel (R) With His Mom at London Critics’ Circle Film Awards
The Bachchans at ‘The Pink Panther 2’ Premiere
awwww dev’s so cute!!! he needs to grow some muscles asap though!
about the bachans.. i think everyone looks good except abhishek!!! and thats tragic! his hair is so freshie! whyy would he get it done like that?? i love his pink tie though.
ps: i excuse the big jackets, as they really are needed in that whether!
k=,
The new hair on Abhishek is because of his role in the film Ravan.
Dev’s mum looks so proud…I am sure she is happy that she took him to audition for the part of slumdog. He looks great too.
I used to think Dev was just of a goofy guy, but he’s getting more and more handsome as time goes on. Or I just have a crush. :p
I wish Big B would stop with the fur (real or not) though.
argh!! why can’t abhishek bachchan shave his stubble! it kills the whole look! aishwarya looks good.. could have chosen some other color to stand out… this look is just like any other hollywood celeb… she wont be noticed this way… and jaya’s coat is so old style… amitabh’s coat is unique and stylish.. overall dev’s better lol
Ash looks almost indecent compared to the rest of the coat claded clan….
I really don’t like Abhi’s hair. Too short. Makes his head look like a half pealed egg. and he should shave. he’s so so goodlooking but he doesn’t groom himself.
Dev is so adorable and confident..he was great on The View the other day.
Dev is cho chweet. Love to see him on all the talk shows here. He was also on the Daily Show yesterday. So adorable!!!
I like all of them.. but Devs a lil too thin for my liking
actually abhi’s hair isnt that bad, its just the overuse of gel. he sure needs to take some pointers from dev ;)
dev is so cute, i wish i was 18 again hahaha.
and if u look closely, abhi’s and aish’s hair(styles) kinda sorta match.. no?
btw aish seems a bit too stuck up/snottyish in this pc..doesnt she?..while everyone around her seems jovial lol.. perhaps its just the pose/angle of the pic but man oh man.
i wish aishwarya would stop showing too much cleavage just becos its an international event. she’s looking almost indecent, and doesn’t go with her traditional bahu persona which she dons in india
Dev is so cute :)
How does Ash keep herself warm? How come she is not shivering?
Ash’s fake cleavage looks really…fake here. :)
And Dev’s got to be the most adorable guy I’ve seen in ages.
Well one thing is obvious, the Bachchan family won’t be campaigning for PETA anytime soon!
Can’t help being disappointed. Is fur the only way to show money?? coz it definitely doesn’t show class!
well Dev is supposed to be 17. ash and baby b are old enough to go out without mama and daddy.
ash not looking very good. she seems to have put on weight and the dress shows off lines on her neck and fuller shoulders but not much cleavage. nope. not suiting her. she looked so lovely in the vogue shoot.
Fresh evidence to prove Ash is indeed an ice princess….the rest of the family is dressed like eskimos and shes showing enough flesh for all of them…
WHAT?!
He was in on The Daily Show?!?!?!?!?!?!?
:D- I have to watch that (to hell with Oprah. Stewart is GOD)
…ok, I love Oprah too
but Dev is cute in that “choooo cutee” way, even as someone who is in his age group
As for the Bachans…”one of these things is not like the other”
– I have to say, Ash looked a whole lot better from the side (which is common with that kind of hair)
i always felt abhishek must be living in such complex, Miss world for wife, India’s Face of cinema for dad, MP for a mom…..n wat does he have…….i guess ” Uske pass MA hai….””
abhishek needs to cut the umbilical cord and do stuff without mum and dad. amitabh is a legend in his own right so he should have the confidence to have his own life and not overshadow aishwarya and abhishek. dev looks sweet. aishwarya has lovely glowing skin. jaya really messed up by wearing fur.
I have no complaints. If they like fur they wear it. If she likes cleavage she show it. They all look like one happy family here :)
My god, Aren’t Aishwarya and Abhishek old enough to have “date night” sometimes on their own without the third wheels tagging along every. single. time? And what’s with the “too much cleavage she’s a bahu” comments?! Don’t think she looks indecent at all, a liitle chunky, but good, and if the in-laws don’t mind, then who is anyone to be moral police?!
Meow, the haters are out in full force. I’m not Indian and I think it’s wonderful to see so many Indian stars on the red carpet now.
Dev and his mom are cute. The Bachchans look fine except for the fur. I guess Aishwarya is not wearing a coat because the stars of PP2 had a photoshoot – none of the others are in coats.
are they in the same zone? looks so odd, bare shouldered ash with fur and coat clad family.
lol @ wannabe!!! :)
dev looks better with the casual look, sweet he brought his mum.
The Bachans……….what can I say, ONE member of the family is fine, all the family is just sad and attention hungry!
Ash looks strange, someone mentioned like a turtle in the other post, totally agree, too much make-up, not into the dress and OTT cleavage show!
she never really suits that sort of hair style, face looks too big and round, I get the same problem. specially if you have strange ears, its a no no, she should have worn earrings, even little studs would have been better than bare ears.
I really dont get u guys.. when she wear a salwar u criticise her for looking like a bahbhiji and when she wears a dress there’s too much cleavage… grow up guys.. she dresses according to the occassion… she is on an international platform and for a foreign movie… leave her alone..
Dev is tooo cute! why does he remind me of akshay here???
I can’t believe the comments about Ash’s cleavage. Its hers and she can show it off if she wants. Stop being so narrow-minded, its not like she’s half-naked. I think she looks elegant and sophisticated.
Dev is adorable!!! Bachchans are a bunch of wannabes.The whole ‘family’ on the red carpet is a big joke….i almost feel sorry for Abhishek
oh how everyone is ignoring the fact.. JAYA BACHCHAN is finally SMILING.. AND looks happy…. yayyyyyy..
i think bachchans look nice here.. minus amar singh..
they seem to be very closed knitted.. and nothing wrong with that.. it is nice in this day in age…
dev and his mommy look cute as well..
everybody in the bachchan family is smiling except for the bahu – and I wonder isn’t she feeling cold?
dev and mom look so cute
I love Dev Patel! Thanks to the person who mentioned he was on the Daily Show. I just watched it online. The only thing better than Dev Patel is Jon Stewart AND Dev Patel in the same frame. My two favorite men! ;)
Also this picture really shows how misguided Ash’s hairdo was. You need to be really, really, really pretty for that hair to work. Sadly it doesn’t work for her face at all.
I’ve seen Deepika look really fierce in that hairdo, but I guess there is a fine line between fierce and UNflattering.
Dev Patel is sooo adorable…and hey hav u noticed, he looks a lot like his mum.
About Abhishek’s new movie, I hope he is playin Ravan. There’s no way Ram can look like that. (esp the moustache)
I saw Dev on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart…he was sucha sweetheart !
HAHAHAHA…lol, I just read the comments on the “cleavage” and “bahu” HILARIOUS.
I am just wondering… If it was that cold that the rest of the team is clad in thick jackets, how did Ash manage wear that dress and sustain the cold??
At what cost do we all want to look good?
What I don’t understand about Ash’s wardrobe is; she’s trying to project a good-bahu, family-respecting kind of image, and drags along her inlaws everywhere while grabbing their hand on the red carpet. But..how can one then wear such super low cleavage in front of their father-in-law?
Anyway, I am glad Jaya did not mess up this event with her outfits.
@sonia
some say its sexy to leave certain things to the imagination, I think Aish cleaveage is not desirable becasue she is small chested, if she would cover a little and wear a push up bra and show a little it would be mroe sexy than just wear a cut that is open up to her bellybutton with flat chest sorry to say this but I think the defination of sexy is not to show but to show the way that is flattering
Dev was really great on the Daily Show..love Jon Stewart for a great interview.
guys, i didnt say she’s a bahu so she shouldnt show cleavage – i said her attempts to act like a dutiful bahu dont go wtih the way she dresses sometimes.. OTT cleavage, really unnecessary. I am as modern as the next person, but I REALLY would not bare so much if I knew my fil was going to be there. I dont think most Indian women would, celebrity or otherwise.. I wouldnt even wear that dress if my Dad were around. Its out of respect for that relationship, not because he would say something. He never would. I dont think her in-laws can or would say anythin
i think its cute/ sweet that amitabh and jaya went with them..
even if its a premiere.. it doesnt matter.. they are proud of their d-in-law..
so in any case, i am not pronouncing a moral judgement on Ash rather just saying she would look much more sexy and elegant if she remained her usual self – I love the way she looks when she’s not trying too hard…
Okay… First off, let me apologise (or not) for this feminist rant, but—!
As regards the cleavage in front of fathers and fathers- in law, is it worse to dress like that in front of strangers who would only look at you as being a sexy object, or being comfortable enough in your own skin with one’s family, even though they be men?
This is the germ of the mentality that is now saying that women shouldn’t be in bikinis, shouldn’t have a drink on their own, because it isn’t in our “culture”… Like the Kamasutra and Khajuraho were written/ built by aliens who descended upon India, to try and corrupt our “pure” citizenry…
Grow up, ladies, and read your history- Indian women were never coy, they seduced, politicked, ruled, were equal in all respects to men, till the men took a scare to this fierceness, and made rules that we have made our own.
Don’t be your own worst enemy.
eclat- seduction, sexiness have their place. If Bipasha wore it, i wouldnt have even paid attention. But Aishwarya has a holier than thou attitude with the press, with everyone. when in india, she acts like a goddess. And then at international events, she dresses up looking cheap all the way. does she seriously look good here? i am saying dont be two faced. I respect your opinion. but i doubt you would don her holier than thou attitude just because u happen to be in india.. so what i said wouldnt apply to you because you are being yourself – whatever that is.. for example, if Celina or Bipasha dressed like this, I wouldnt make a negative comment – when Aishwarya does it, it just irritates me.
I do not think its hypocrisy…dutiful bahu does not in anyway mean no skin show at all. She can dress in bikinis 24/7 for all it matters as long as she is loving, caring blah blah ….so don’t assume she is just “attempting” to be dutiful just because on a few occasions she has displayed her cleavage in front of her father in law.She has not disagreed to any skin show per say.. even in movies…that’s her job for god’s sake…If she chooses to wear more Indian clothes in Indian functions there is no problem with it at all.. It is her choice. Also, we should keep in mind the occasion…She probably had a stylist provided for her by the studio and she agreed to wear that. She agreed.. period.I would not wear a cleavage showing top in front of my dad.. That’s my equation with him…I cannot say the same for some of my friends. It does not make them more shameless or less dutiful because that is their comfort level with their elders.
I know how annoying she is with her responses to the press.. it irks me as well that she talks down to them…deserving otherwise depends on perspectives and situations but to say she pretends to be dutiful just because of a little skin show is plain wrong….Lets just try and think outside of the box shall we…
What’s up with her cleavage man??!! Even I don’t like Ash for the way she behaves in public and the kind of answers she gives to the press…but se has done jhatak matak in kajra re and showed more than she is showing here with abhi one one side and big b on the other…what’s a bit of cleavage??
Point taken. Its not easy being in the limelight, and its easy to criticize. But Aishwarya is naturally classy. i like her and think she’s very intelligent and independent etc. That’s probably why I get disappointed with her lack of poise and natural ness on the international scene. Could it be that she has no exposure? very hard to imagine. She comes across as a wannabe when she’s taken out of India.. her fil and the cleavage issue notwithstanding… that is a tacky and unflattering look she’s got on…
but you understood me wrong. i dont think she’s pretending to be a good indian bahu. i think she’s pretending when she dresses like in this picture.. and i dont like it one bit.
anita, I completely second you. It’s the inconsistency of the image(s) she is trying to project that bothers me.
what i dont get is why the bachchans move around in a pack all the time especially international stuff.. reminds me of rappers and their posses.. but in this case the lead rapper and posse members revolve.. but they are always together.. at least amar singh isnt there this time!! even at cannes the whole shabang was there looking like kids in a candy shop!
Eclat & Bloo : Well Said
MM : LOL !! I’m glad Amar Singh isnt there !
Oh and yeah Kajra re did have more of a “cleavage” ! I love that song
Thnks Indian girl… Ritu, is it not possible that perhaps the inconsistency is in our perception?? Just a thought…
AB jr. is looking like a DAKU frm “Chambal” in designer clothes
