The rumor that won't die is back again. Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai has hinted to MI6.co.uk that she is definitely still up for a role in James Bond 21, despite both Eon Productions and her own agent denying links between the actress and the next installment.

"Once we're past the discussion stage and something is finalized, I may be able to shed some light," she says. "But let me say here again that with nothing on the anvil as yet, I cannot comment. Right now, 'my lips are bonded', oops sealed! Ha ha ha!"

Rai can next be seen in Gurinder Chadha's Bride and Prejudice opposite Martin Henderson, and she's also joined the drama Chaos with Meryl Streep.

Damn, I can't believe they are up to 21 movies...

yeah, over 40 years.. consider that :whistle:

She doesn't play asian roles too well either.

I disagree with you on that. What do u mean by asian role? She plays according to the script given to her and does her best. I have to say that Devdas seems to be the best role she has done so far.

If you look at all her movies, Devdas is the only movie she acted well in. That is because the director had to spend a lot of time to get it out of her. The other movies were not good and her acting was horrible. That is why they were all flops in Indian cinema. I doubt she can handle American film at all.

That's what I was going to say in response to Lucifer360 & bonobozoot (Y), thanks :)

I can honestly not remember a decent hit film from her.

Radish?

Acting is something that one has to do by themselves but then the director and the producer are the one who has the final say on how a scene comes out. infact, some of the bad acting roles that you mentioned can be attributed to them rather than Ash's bad acting. i am not saying that Ash cannot have a bad film but just that this movie came out bigger than others does not mean she has acted badly in other movies. infact, there are many movies where her acting was better than everyone else's in the movie despite tanking at the BO.

I can honestly not remember a decent hit film from her.

See above explanation.

Off the top of my head, one film where she did decent acting was 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam', though I'd say the film was a hit partly because of Ajay Devgan.

Radish?

its "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" I think it was a good film... better than most films. it was different... sort of. and salman khan did a lot better then the rest of the films he has been in. Indian films are mostly mostly about LOVE. ugh cant stand that anymore. they are starting to be different but pleaseee be original dont copy,paste and mix hollywood scripts. e.g. kante:no::no: Company now that was a good mo:yes:yes:

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
