Mumbai: Now that her problems with the customs department have ended, there are joyful tidings for beauty queen Aishwarya Rai.
She is back in Jaipur shooting for Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodha-Akbar with Hrithik Roshan.
"It's going great!" Aishwarya exulted from Jaipur as she prepared for the day's shoot.
So, has she done any horse riding and sword-fighting as yet?
"None of the above. But I rode an elephant for a scene. And his name was Lakhi. After Dhoom 2 and its hi-tech ambience and accessories, entering a world of elephants and Mughal grandeur is a true culture shock. And a real challenge for both Hrithik and me after Dhoom 2," said Aishwarya.
"But what's the life of an actor without challenges? I'm at a stage in my career where I need to constantly re-invent myself," she said.
About the elephant ride, Aishwarya explained with a giggle, "It wasn't exactly a unique experience. I've ridden an elephant before for Gurinder Chaddha's Bride & Prejudice, though very briefly.”
"In Jodha-Akbar everything is far more elaborate. I guess I must be the only actress of my generation to have taken two elephant rides," she said.
