Aishwarya Rai, one of the top stars of India's prime film industry, said in a recent television interview, she won't rule out kissing in films when she moves from "Bollywood" to Hollywood -- although she says it is certain to create a minor scandal among her fans. In an interview on CBS 60 Minutes, Rai, recently named by a British magazine as the world's most beautiful woman, danced around the subject of screen sex, which is banned in India and many other countries where her films play. "It would definitely be a topic of discussion. ... They're going to enjoy (talking about it). ...

Rai, 31, stars in the new British film Bride and Prejudice, an adaptation of Jane Austen's classic tale, and is considering several projects that will bring her to Hollywood. She is virtually unknown in the United States even though fans have created more than 17,000 Web sites devoted to her and her beauty compared to Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman and Elizabeth Taylor.
