As the airy opening lines of "Silsila Yeh Chahat Ka" floated across the stage of the Oakland Arena last Saturday night, Aishwarya Rai gracefully moved to the rhythm of the Devdas tune, accompanied by a dozen female dancers delicately waving tiny diyas in time to the music. It was a captivating entrance by Bollywood's leading heroine, and a long-awaited moment for fans of the actress who stands poised to make her mark as India's most beguiling export to the West.
The "Breathless" show, which drew a near-capacity crowd to Oakland April 24 and will reach Los Angeles May 2, also starred Hrithik Roshan, Lara Dutta, Celina Jaitley, Fardeen Khan and Shaan, with emcee duties handled by comedian Sajid Khan.
