American actor Will Smith has expressed his desire to do a film with Bollywood diva Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, whom he had met 15 years ago.
‘The Pursuit of Happyness’ actor, who was in a conversation with Bollywood actor-musician Farhan Akhtar at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, also spoke about having a Bollywood dance sequence on his bucket list.
“One of the things on my bucket list is to be on a Bollywood dance sequence. I met Aishwarya 15 years ago, we had conversations about doing something together but never happened. Perhaps I would do a film with her,” Will Smith said at the event.
Farhan took the opportunity and taught Will some bhangra steps. Taking it to Instagram, Farhan shared a video of them doing the signature bhangra step and captioned it, “What an awesomely and effortlessly cool man .. won all hearts with his candour and wit .. and boy, can he bust some Bhangra moves .. #funtimes chatting with @willsmith at the #htleadershipsummit .. #gotoguywhenaliensattack.”
Will has won accolades for his performances in ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’, ‘Hitch, I Am Legend’, ‘I, Robot’, ‘Independence Day’ and ‘Men In Black’. He was also nominated twice for the Best Actor category in Oscars for ‘ALI’ and ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’.
On the work front, currently, Will is hosting the ten-part television documentary series One Strange Rock on National Geographic.
