Wednesday, 13th April 2016, 2:30 PM IST Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will next be seen in Omung Kumar’s ‘Sarbjit’. The actress will be playing the role of Sarbjit’s sister Dalbir Kaur in the film. The director recently spoke about how he transformed Ash into Dalbir Kaur. Omung recalls that when Ash looked into the mirror to see a woman with grey hair, wrinkles and glasses staring back, even she exclaimed, "OMG, is that me!" "Maybe one day I will make a film that will showcase the beautiful woman Ash is, but Sarbjit was a film that went beyond looks and glamour to focus on grit. My biggest triumph was when fans came to the Wagah Border or the India Gate for Ash's autograph and failing to recognise her, would start looking around for her," the director said. Talking further about Aishwarya’s character, he said, "In the film you also see Ash as a young, carefree girl, happily married and pregnant, before some personal tragedies slowly bleach out the colours from her face, clothes and the backdrop. The eight months when she has no idea what happened to her brother, add lines of worry which get deeply entrenched when she learns his whereabouts. Struggling to keep the family together, Dalbir starts to grey, and when brother and sister finally meet in prison, they comment on how their baal has turned safed."
