Honestly, no!
What's the emoji that sums up your journey in cinema and where you're headed next?
It has been magical.
What are the emojis that you use the most while texting?
I use them all.
is my most favourite emoji. I'm a very expressive person in real life. I'm not at all subtle, unlike how I act in my films.
What's the emoji you would use to describe your life right now?
Have you ever wrongly used an emoji, thinking it had a different meaning?
Even if I did, how would I know? You are making me worried.
Do you think people use emojis less these days?
Emojis are a cute way to communicate. I like using them, and I think people like sending them. But honestly, never have I thought of emojis so much like I'm doing today!
Let me think…
Aishwarya's emoji version of her onscreen roles:
Poonguzhali from Ponniyin Selvan is
. Her love is as deep as the ocean.
Keerthi from Gatta Kusthi is
. She represents raw power.
Rekha from Maaman is
. She is all heart and all love, and unconditionally so.
An emoji tour of Aishwarya's personality:
I learnt somewhere that we are the designers of our own life, and we are responsible for our emotions. So, I make it a point to choose my happiness in everything I do every day.
I'm a silly person. I don't take myself seriously unless I'm working or taking responsibility of some kind. Then, it's pro max seriousness.
People acting without thinking about others, in any given scenario, make me annoyed.
I'm a very emotional person, and I send kissy smileys all the time to my friends and family whenever I feel so. Sometimes, I send extra kissy faces when I'm overwhelmed with love.
As far as my career is concerned, my brain is always sure where I should go and what I should and shouldn't do. But when it comes to personal life, it's still buffering.

Jaya Bachchan once said she would have 'slapped' Shah Rukh Khan after Aishwarya Rai fallout
Jaya Bachchan Once Expressed Anger at Shah Rukh Khan After Rift With Aishwarya Rai Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai, two of Indian cinema's most celebrated figures, delivered memorable performances together in films like Josh, Mohabbatein, and Devdas. Their on-screen pairing was a favourite among audiences, but their off-screen equation took a drastic turn in the early 2000s. Despite their successful collaborations, a professional rift led to Aishwarya being removed from multiple films they were initially set to do together. According to reports cited by News18 and others, the reasons for this fallout were never clearly stated. Aishwarya herself later confirmed that she was dropped from several projects that originally featured Shah Rukh Khan, including Chalte Chalte and Veer Zaara. These sudden exclusions had a noticeable impact on her career at the time. While Shah Rukh later apologised, the rapport between them was never fully restored. The fallout between Shah Rukh and Aishwarya didn't just remain a professional matter. It drew the attention of Aishwarya's family as well, particularly her mother-in-law, Jaya Bachchan, who had always shared a warm rapport with Shah Rukh. In a 2008 interview with People magazine, Jaya was asked if she still held any resentment toward Shah Rukh over what happened. She admitted she did, and said that although she hadn't yet spoken to him about it, she intended to. She added that had he been at her home at the time, she would have slapped him — just as she would have done if it had been her own son. Despite the anger, she also made it clear that she felt a deep emotional bond with Shah Rukh and admitted to having a personal fondness for him. The strain in their relationship was also evident during Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's wedding in 2007, where Shah Rukh was noticeably absent. At the time, it was reported that the two actors were still not on speaking terms following the Chalte Chalte controversy. As per News18, Jaya Bachchan addressed this directly, pointing out that if it had been possible to invite Shah Rukh without upsetting family dynamics, the wedding date itself would have been changed. Though the fallout left visible cracks, the passage of time brought some healing. Shah Rukh's apology, along with a gradual softening of tensions, helped bridge the distance.
