In
this wide-ranging episode Rai said to be India's most stunning international
export, shows Oprah a move or two in the traditional Indian sari.
The two also chat about her aspirations in showbiz, her mission
to dispel myths on Indian women, and her interpretation of what
'beauty' is. "To me, beautiful is as beautiful does. I think
that's what speaks volumes," says Rai. On being asked about
her views on the Indian women practicing Kamasutra, Ash promptly
replies, "I call it the land of Kamasutra." And when asked
about her views on arranged marriages Rai exclaims "I will
cross the bridge when I reach it".
On a mission to dispel myths about Indian women Rai states, "The
first time that I traveled overseas and interacted with people,
the immediate response was to the way I spoke English. People wondered
whether my education was in India, and they said, "No you must
have studied outside of India". Why would people think that
we don't study English?"
