To Protect And Serve


- mid-day.com




It has been said that Vivek Oberoi is Aishwarya Rai's knight in shining armour, so what if his armour is made of fracture plaster more often than of metal.

Given her boyfriend's penchant for bone damage though, it seems Miss Rai finds it necessary to employ bodyguards, for we spotted some beefy blokes accompanying the beauty for the shoot of Lux's (the beauty soap) latest promotion. And this despite the fact that Vivek was very much in evidence on the set, even though he had no official reason for being there.

Anyway, let it not be said that the besotted Oberoi has no input on how his ladylove is protected. We hear that Vivek spent a significant amount of time chatting with the bodyguards, making sure they were doing a good jobs. And while Ash preened and smiled for the camera, Vivek also took a moment to chat with the rest of her entourage' from the designer to the make-up person.
