Aishwarya to host Colin Firth, Academy award winner

The actress met with The Last Legion co-star at the Oscars recently and extended an invitation to him to visit Mumbai.
Academy award winner Colin Firth and Aishwarya Rai Bachan have first met when they acted in the Hollywood big budget movie The Last Legion (add year of release) and they were in touch with each other. So it was natural this year the actress was rooting for Colin at the Oscars. She was seen cheering when he won the Best Actor award for The King’s Speech. Last year when he didn’t win for his performance for A Single Man, she was disappointed.
When they met at the after party, she congratulated him warmly and introduced him to her husband, Abhishek. She even raised a toast for him. Later, they talked about a possibility of meeting during her stay in LA. In case their schedule didn’t permit this, she talked about connecting with him next month. Colin was ecstatic with his Oscar win and was overheard saying he couldn’t believe he was holding the trophy in his hand. They spoke for about 10 minutes and agreed to catch up again when the madness (the entire Hollywood junta wanted a piece of Colin at the party) surrounding Colin subsided.
Although there is speculation whether she has plans to host him in Mumbai and celebrate his success here, everyone is tight-lipped about the details. However, we have heard that Colin’s trip to India is anyway overdue as Ash had extended an invitation to him when they last worked together.
