If you are like the average Indian woman, NOBODY ever gets to see your sexy butt or tight abs, except your partner perhaps. Yet, women are so obsessed with working on abs or thighs, or the butt. Does it make any sense? The one part of your body that is most exposed is your arms. People look at your arms and form an opinion of how good looking, fit or sexy you are.

The last few days have been quite tough for the beauty queen, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

No, not because of the slag in her career after marriage. Her career curve is just fine. She has full support from her family and seems quite content with the situation.

But at a more personal level, things aren’t going too well. First, her father-in-law, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan fell ill and had to be hospitalised. And that too on his own birthday!
