Fresh Prince of Bombay
Will Smith was in Bombay recently and revealed that he has become a big fan of Tandoori Chicken and India’s box office princess, Ashwariya Rai. "She just has a powerful energy. She doesn't have to say anything, she doesn't have to do anything ... whatever she wants to make, I'm there." he said of the stunning Miss Rai, not the chicken, fueling speculation of a potential Bollywood appearance, which he later quashed. It was the 37-year-old actor-rapper's first trip to India to acquaint himself with the biggest movie industry in the world and he met with a whole host of Bollywood Producers and Music Directors as well as being a guest on India’s version of American Idol.
