Aishwarya Rai has known to be a secretive person.

But this time around she has revealed quite a few secrets. Difficult to believe, but true!

The former Miss World and global citizen says that she chose to do the Hollywood film, 'Pink Panther 2', because of her admiration for Peter Sellers, the British comedian who played Inspector Clouseau in four 'Pink Panther' movies.

Ash says, "I loved Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther series when I was a kid and watched these films. It was hilarious, a laugh riot and a thorough family entertainer. People across different age groups love 'The Pink Panther' because the films always bring a smile to one's face."

She's added about the film that opens on February 6th, "When I was offered this film, I was really excited as for me I was doing something which I have loves seeing as a child. It was a fun film which I would enjoy working in. The film did not require me to do intense acting and I did not have to look forward to scoring points as it had an ensemble cast of terrifically talented actors. I wanted to have a good time with all of them and I said a yes to the project. I'm not expecting critical acclaim or something from this film since the film is not about me, it's about Steve Martin and 'The Pink Panther'."

The actress has also revealed the fact that she was dating Abhishek Bachchan for months before their 'sudden' engagement in January 2007.

Now that's an even bigger revelation. We just hope that our Ash keeps revealing little secrets like that from time to time!   - (SAMPURN)
