Oh my, Barbie's going Bollywood! From Sexy songstress Nicole Scherizinger to pop princess Britney Spears it seems like everybody wants a piece of Bollywood. And Barbie maker Mattel wants in on the action.
The latest Barbie will be modeled after Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Rai has appeared in countless Bollywood films and has crossed over to Hollywood. She has appeared in past films as "Bride and Prejudice" and "The Pink Panther 2." Aishwarya will find herself among other celebs like Beyonce Knowles and Diana Ross.
The Barbie will be outfitted with a wardrobe from Indian designers and probably have Rai's signature green eyes, though nothing is finalized yet. Since winning the Miss World contest back in 1994 there has been no slowing down the Bollywood beauty. Aside from her film success, she's been the face of L'Oreal cosmetics and has married into Bollywood royalty through Abhishek Bachchan.
If everything works out, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be the first Indian actress to have a Barbie doll modeled after her. So do our readers like the idea of a 'Bollywood Barbie?' If so, do you think that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was the perfect choice for the doll in the Indian market? Give us your thoughts on the new doll and what you think about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the choice.
