ever since she was crowned Miss World Aishwarya Rai has become India's most sought-after personality Meenakshi Emeth caught up with her in London for this exclusive interview the model walk the well-known face if there's some sense of deja vu it is almost immediately vanished this beauty queen is worried about being frivolous tell me a little bit about yourself who in India would you absolutely love to meet or who in the world would you absolutely love to meet if you had a chance to visualize this really sounds contrived cliched and probably even practiced but honestly I'd like to me is Mother Teresa really would like to me what is it that really interests you about her it's what she does because what she does is is so rare it's it's she's not looking for the limelight she's not looking for glamour age hasn't stopped her from doing what she what she has been doing she doesn't go all out looking for media and to be really honest even the media really doesn't hound her still that does not stop her from doing what she's doing time age nothing she goes on with her work the way she does and it's so selfless are you planning a big party when you get back to Bombay with all your friends and family I haven't thought about it at all but I'd love to spend a lot of time with all of them and time which would be worthwhile I mean sometimes in huge parties it is lost because you're so busy you know moving around parties are lots of noise lots of people and lots of socializing but besides the partying aspect I'd like to spend time with them I'm more of a homebody if you had if you closed your eyes and you someone said okay I'm gonna give you a million dollars I asked this of my friends are you not unusual I know he often said then sort of fantasize what would you do with it how would you spend it I definitely would not answer answer it within a second give it days of thought to think about it seriously and no but this you know a frivolous question I wouldn't be frivolous about it and put into practical use because it's one hell of a lot of money and you know you have to think about what you're going to do with it you're not just going to indulge in dodging - because after a point what are you going to do you know it's a lot of money you were to think about it and you just granted money like this where do you think of the humanitarian aspect of it honestly not because I'm just Miss World I'm not saying this only because of the title but honestly you have to direct this money towards something fruitful something that would give you true joy honestly because money the money goes to join touching people generally touching people but we are said do you think it helps the other people is that's how it helps you I mean no but what is money costs much you know what I mean um you can't buy happiness but at the same time by helping another you can become happy and to be honest money does play a big role in the world today because money can help provide a lot of facilities to man so Darren you can get the little bit of satisfaction and joy would you say you're a very practical down-to-earth sort of person down-to-earth is not for me to decide practical I try to believe it and realistic yes practical and realistic I do try to be down - it is not for me to decide that's for people to decide on my character do you think you're a romantic so quite I like to romanticize about life but I don't lose perspective of it at the same time I don't Don rose-petal classes all the time life is real the way it stares you in the face but try to make it beautiful and happy are you a little bit nervous about this coming year with being away from home and doing all these you know having to take on all these responsibilities mm we'll ask for it we're coming in your ass for it and frankly no regrets
