Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is known to be impeccably articulate when it comes to her interviews was once asked by the media about shifting base to Hollywood after she did a couple of films in the West. She worked in films like 'Bride and Prejudice', 'The Mistress of Spices', 'Provoked', and 'The Last Legion' to name a few. An old video of the former Miss World has surfaced on Reddit where she can be seen calmly handling the situation.

In 2007, when she was asked about making the move to Hollywood, she replied, "Ek minute, maine kab kaha? Kaunse interview mein? Aap mujhe ye interview dikhaiye. Phir hum baat karenge. (One minute, when did I say that? In which interview? Show me this interview. Then we will talk.) If you have to ask questions, go ahead, but don't attribute statements to me. I first worked in a Tamil film. I work in Hindi films, I work in Bengali films, and I am working in some English films. This does not mean I am shifting anywhere or part of any other industry. It's really broadening your experiences in cinema."
