The most beautiful actress Aishwarya Rai is a fan of Nandita Das. The National Award winning actress has mostly acted in parallel cinema. She has won critical acclaim at film festivals and has also been on the jury panel at last year's Cannes Film Festival. Jagmohan Mundhra's film Provoked brings them together for the first time, where Nandita plays a smaller part. And Ash is "really glad" to have worked with her. Ash says, "I'm really glad that I got to discover Nandita Das as an actor because I'm a great fan of her work."
