  • I am willing to bet not one of you who think you know about India, have ever been there. No more then you represent the American culture of which I am a part of. I did not see or hear any cuts on Letterman's show. Your trying to make something out of nothing. It was a normal question of someone who has a different culture then ours, and her reaction was spot on. Family's in America all seem to grow up in their own separate cubes anymore. Ms. Aishwarya is very gracious, in her country and ours.

  • Great ... Beauty with Brains..

  • david not only u but the whole of america got to learn a lot from india ...... inorder to avoid unofficial increase in ur countrys population

  • WOW... Love her wittyness... is a comparison of two different culture and way of life... nothing to get insulted about. Would love to wath the whole interview though... rather than in bits... Where can i see it...?

  • India is such a great country (NOT) that all Indians sleep infront of the US Embassy to get a VISA

  • @ka7hy Since when being respectful and grateful to your parents and taking care of them wen they are old became traits of "inflexible rules of society"....but if you say so.....fine i am happy to be a citizen of an 'inflexible society' instead of a society where 60% children are born out of divorce, 20% kids have behavior issues due to broken families, every 90 seconds a kid kills himself.....whch society are we talking abt???....ne gueses???..just google Rainbow international...enjoy!

  • U peace of white shit u got learn lot..

  • fck americans.....proude indians.....

  • @ k4thy

    Well said. Lmao

  • racism can never end.....better this WORLD comes to an end in 2012

  • good answer ASH :)

  • she is best!! inspite of being a global icon she is proud to be Indian!

  • indians are ugly

  • @mishacol LOL your much better looking than her...right

  • @PureInsanity00 probably she is not indian

  • @mishacol: Excuse me?

  • @mishacol Whites are ugly. Indians are beautiful. I'm amazed at their beauty..

  • uuuh I love it how she handle the questions!!! GOOD JOB ASH <3

  • Aish might be a little awkward, but she's looking sexy.

  • awe some answer by aish.......that guy get pissed.......

  • Nobody burned anybody. All I saw was Aishwarya going on the offensive with cruel intention because shes a typical celebrity elitist for nothing other than a simple question asked by Dave. People don't know things which is why they ask. Yes Indian people are more focused on family as to the average American but that's just the lifestyle. Dave meant no harm, Ash was being stupid that's all.

    Only people that agree with this shit are the feminists.

  • im not a fan of ash, but i love how she shut him up towards the end XD

  • Comment removed

  • Poor David got gud response of his silly jokes.He thought dat he's d only one who can insult som1 in jokes.

    Description given by video-uploader is poor.

  • u fucking yanks...just bcoz ur parents cough and rot to their deaths in nursing homes, u think that the whole goddamn world should follow suit? Well, there are countries in the world where kids are grateful that their parents gave birth to them, fed them, clothed them, made them a decent person and out of gratitude, they decide to support them when they grow old, to hold their hands when they close their eyes. nd u think that is "loser", "uncool"...may be u all deserve ur dysfunctional society

  • @siddsiom Don't fool yourself. All I have seen is a bunch of Indians incapable of making decisions by themselves, for they are raised with the only purpose to serve and obey their parents and the inflexible rules of their society. And you dare to talk about "dysfunctional" societies??

  • y undermine ur cultural values for others? y lie.American's think their culture represents the epitome of what society shud be like. Living at home = loser. However, there's an entire world out there that have different values and emphasize on different things as important. Ash simply responded in a manner that evoked that there is another value sytem out there. she didn't agree with him, indians wouldnt agree with tht ideology and she was honest enough & had balls to say it.

  • You can say that he was simply playfully teasing her BUT she was compelled to explain the cultural dichotomy from the Indian perspective. If he insinuates that living at home is a code for "looser" - thats a perspective from the western individualistic values. SHE did THE same THing. She shared her perspective on the subject by questioning the family disconnect found in the west - an opinion that roots from her culture which has a strong family emphasis. it wasn't too serious.vry appropriate.

  • Original poster of the video: You really need to learn to read sarcasm. This VERY video has been on youtube for years as an example how Aishwarya WAS the one that put David in his place and not vice versa like you imply.

  • It's all just a bit of banter.

  • a little back and forth here, but i think she pwned him in the end..

  • you can't be west

  • To live with one's family is the most natural thing in the world. Who tries to influence us to think that it is not?

  • I LOVE THE WAY SHE QUICKLY COUNTER ATTACKED THAT 2ND QUESTION wWOW HAHAAH AMAZING GIRL AND SHE IS SO DAMN RIGHT ;dTHIS OLD SHIT MAN DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HIT HIM

  • Nobody is burned  here.Change the title of you video

  • her tiny pussy wont be able to handle my dick am sure......let david letterman try that...

  • she gets only annoyed when he comments on indian culture, as long as he was asking about her living with he parents she showed no annoyance in her face. i know many indian people will take offence just by that. and she answers him in a very witty and equally mildly insulting manner. so what's the big deal?

  • what crap is this? he asks a mildly insulting question all playfully presumably,and she replies with a slightly more insulting reply all playfully asuming. you just got to love her quick wit. how common is for such a beautiful girl to be witty?

  • Haha David gets burned

  • She can live with me if she wants, Or not i don't care anymore

  • seh gave some good answers but he insulted her well she thinks she is all tat an american showed her seh aint nothing hahahah

  • A slap on your face by a pretty woman wont hurt you Dave!

  • Ego Clashing.!!!!!.but Aishworya not burnt here..it was a ironical iron hit to Letterman !

  • never heard of her but shes really pretty

  • awesome answer.......:)

  • Aishwarya doesnt know humor .. pretty sad way to live a life....

  • she is hot i don't give dam where she is from. I say fuck all you racist fucks that can't get past the fact that she is beautiful and from India. Oh one more thing, dave is an imbecil !!

  • there was no need for letterman to be so harsh to ash he looked like a fool, ash burnt letterman with grace and laughed her way through the conversation where as letterman made silly faces; which was quite rude to say the least. Letterman was questioning ash so abruptively, and clearly could not understand cultural differences (maybe he should visit places outside of america and gain a more cultural perspective of the world we live in!!) letterman needs to think before he speaks and show respect

  • she doesnt even look indian

  • @aa2398a for your future reference, indians come in various colours from very fair to very dark and in different body characteristics !! there is no need to be so judge-mental! Indians Dont all look the SAME !!

  • @MissRougeCoco

    the ones i see at the gas station all look the same....lol

  • @aa2398a LOL well maybe you should travel to be culturally enriched, then you won't base your opinions by simply seeing the same indians at the gas station in the future : )

  • @MissRougeCoco

    im just teasing you, sport.

    I'm Pakistani. We have array of colours and regional cultures in our country too.

  • @aa2398a good well im glad you feel culturally enriched

  • @MissRougeCoco

    that's how we roll, baby doll

  • @aa2398a hahaha...seriously???does she luk like american????

    She's Indian..Actully Miss India Wrld

  • In AMERICA after a certain age it's not "cool" to stay with your parents and it's assumed that if you stay with your parents, you aren't independent... That's messed up...You can have a job, earn money, yet still live with your parents if you LOVE THEM and RESPECT THEM... In America it's simply a habit to leave your parents once you start earning or whatever... In India it's normal to respect and love your parents. In America if you live with your parents. people look down at you.

  • This was actually a great interview, she is confident, quick and articulate.

    Some people might misinterpret those qualities as negative; but that has nothing to do with her.

  • @mckenley1 she is brilliant and articulate and it pisses off alot of white racist sexist people so they accuse her of being stupid or arrogant. I know she is brilliant and im glad you do too.

  • go easy people.... can't expect any better from a woman XD...

  • @Silversong88 ...Sexist jokes are really played out man....

  • @Silversong88 THATS SEXIST AND STUPID AND OFFENSIVE!!

  • @treehuggerdude4 relax mate, I was just kidding to easy the cultural debate. A fine way to stop sexism is to not get anal about it and joke about it with a sense of light hearted humour....

  • @Silversong88 I feel like saying Sexist things reinforces Sexism rather than subverting it. If you want to contribute to a culture that is not sexist, DONT SAY OFFENSIVE SEXIST THINGS. Anyways, sexism is not a joke to me so i dont take it lightly and joke about it. Thats my perspective on the issue.

  • @treehuggerdude4 You are just too fixated on the -isms that you are being deluded into thinking every minor joke is a hate crime... The best comment that sums the entire interview is the second top comment... If people were to abide by your standards of sexism/ racism, the world would be a very sad place. What is even more sad is Letterman's show is mostly scripted and you are having a fit about it. If you want to see real sexism you should look at mistreatment of women in Indian villages.

  • Sorry to break your bubble but, she is no more intelligent or cleverer than most actors. If she thinks, not having to make an appointment to see her parents somehow puts her at a higher moral ground, then she is sadly mistaken. But fortunately she was just joking with Letterman. Maby you should share some of that sense of humor and cool down a bit...

  • I don't get it. Where did anyone burn anyone here?

  • @EPR89 lmaoo awww bless u.. i think they mean burn as in.. "killing someone off.. and giving the strong answers" lol x

  • what's the big deal if people in india live with their parents.. atleast they dont leave them on the road fighting to death all alone..

  • There arethese moronic people on internet who constanly speak ill of ASH and say awful things about her in every video, maybe because she dumped SALMAN KHAN and india is so muslim dominated and the mideo is so pro-muslim. BUt guess what, ASH doesn't give a fuck! The truth is, the amount of success & attention she has got internationally, no one from INDIA can ever dream of at present time. She has taken INDIA to a new level!These bashers really have no life to live! Such a sad country INDIA is!

  • Lol honestly in this clip, they were BOTH morons. Dave was a bit insensitive about indian culture, and Ashwarya was too defensive. But it's really no big deal, fun to watch :)

  • Why the hell are people always talking smack about her? You swear like if you guys were perfect and have no flaws. She's a very talented lady and you're the people who probably wished you were like her, so shout your mouth, humble yourselves and really think for once in your life that everybody makes mistakes.

    PS: proven studies showed that the people who always make fun of other people are usually the ones who are not happy, so crack a damn smile.

  • actually...she burned david letterman.. it's ridiculous how white people cant get over the fact that indians live with their parents.. that families do stay together always.. she gets asked the same question at every white show.. lol... loved her responses.. 'course.. i suspect it's too much for some people's egos..

  • aishwarya is smart,nice reply to bastard

  • I think she was being sarcastic and did not take it too seriously.

  • Comment removed

  • She only got burned from a WESTERNERS PERSPECTIVE...In India it IS normal for a woman to stay with her parents until she gets married (In very traditional households)...

  • @0:15, Dave should've played Pacino's drop, "YOU STUPID FUCKING CUNT, YOU IDIOT". What a motherfucking, fakeass, cocksucking bitch.

  • you are good.!!!

  • I feel like he was just being curious and she was a bit too touchy.

  • I think he mad an ass of himself. It shows she's a lot more intelligent than him.

  • David > Trashwhoreya

  • ash = trash

  • He burned her.

  • Ash is dumb.

  • people who don't know who their parents are, asks questions like that. Asshole David.

  • ABDI NUR FOR PRESIDENT

  • Actually, her answer to David question about 'living with parents' made him looks like an idiot.

  • Comment removed

  • this video states that ash was burned by david but she also burned him back! who does he think he is anyway by mocking with our tradition even though im not an indian ww have the same culture im pakistani

  • @angeleyes7868 it's the letterman show, it's an IRONIC show... all the guests should know that... i'm originally from india but i'm totally with that old guy...

  • HE got burnt from AISH's comeback for his dumb remark about living with parents...

  • Ash rocks 4 she stood for my country that is INDIA.... love u Ash

  • Ash Rocks

  • I don't know much about Aishwarya Rai, so can someone please explain to me why people have so many hateful comments about her that she is fake and dumb, etc?

  • @Aaris15 cuz their jealous. and if they tell u they arent, then they're lying

  • @Aaris15 because those commentors hv lost their brains...

  • She give really good answere good on u like it

  • you should change yr title Aishwariya burned that david and you guys need to stop putting down Aish

  • @peaceSymOfISLAM thats exactly what i said too

  • Him asking about her living with her family is stupid. Matrilocal or patrilocal residence patterns are very common in human societies.

  • @gilesmic i know i dont think he would have asked the same question to any other person who wasn't from india, for all we know she can be having any personal reasons to why she living with her parents but noo just because he knew thats how the indian culture is, he had to come up with a sly dig

  • I didn't understand what she said either, but i'm sure it made sense.

  • He burned her.

  • Ash is dumb.

  • hahaha david burned 0:13. audience laughed at his own expense

  • Bitch dont overdo with ur fake accent..

  • "He questions her about her worldwide popularity but her jokey response doesn't make the least bit of sense."

    I've learned that the uploader is a retard.

  • @rothwellullathorne Well I think she's just saying ya but you don't really care who i am so kinda like stop pretending ya know?

  • Pinoy here and I think she's smart and beautiful.

  • You go girl(Aishwarya)!!!

  • she is stunning! and the accent!

  • what a clever answer!

  • What she says at .08 seconds??

  • good one ash! i never thought u had it in u!

  • shes a indian dressing and trying to be western and she has the most stupid expression

  • in Egypt too we live with our parents till the marriage I don't wt the problem in that they give us our independence in life & in the same time they are a big support to us when we fall they are the first ppl who make us stand they gave us a lot of love & when they get old we will support them & take care of them & also give them love

    thats how the original nations with rich history and culture like Egypt & India live & thats wt made stand for 1000s of yrs its our values thats my point of view

  • I don't think he meant to be rude at all. I think he was just trying to be funny but I could understand Aish and how she is feeling as well. I'd say that it's always good to learn and be aware of the diversity in the cultures from your guests before you interview them. I honestly don't know why the girls hate her so much. I think it's all just jealousy that she is labeled as "most beautiful." It wasn't like she gave the title to herself. Ask the media.

  • Burn and burn...

    I wouldn't call it that way.

  • this interview ISN'T EVEN ABOUT Aish, it's about INDIA. Dave BURNS INDIA and Aish tries to defend it. It's not easy since she's in America full of American audiences and being interviewed by an American um ... 'douche' ... but she tries her best to be nON-hostile by laughing alot (even tho that's the interviewER's job) and pointing out little things with American culture which India excels in, such as being close with family and having lots of languages. Very rich culture - Americans=jealous

  • i dont get how she burned letterman someone please explain

  • @vper6960 your south asian and you feel embarrassed right? whatever she said was perfectly fine, kids move out leaving their parents lonely and depressed only cause they wana fuck all over the house without any interference? lol

  • @demiourgoslikes69 I don't disagree with what she said - i am South Asian and can appreciate the point she makes. The way she makes it however - is what i dislike. Apart from looks - she does not represent South Asians very well. A guy like Kumar Sangakkara - however (the Sri Lankan cricket captain) - if you watch his interviews and the way he approaches questions - that's a good representative.

  • @vper6960 dude sangakkara and aishwariya rai? how can u make such a comparison. Two different people from different profession. Compare her to any filmstar. I can throw names of hundreds of guys that approach questions better than sangakkara.

  • @demiourgoslikes69 It's not a comparison about the people - it's a comparison about the attitude they demonstrate to questions. You can tell someone about your culture and values without a smart-arse attitude covered up by your good looks.

  • @vper6960 When David can act smart and try to burn India every time, Aishwariya can't just sit there and answer genuinely. A little attitude was necessary to shut David's mouth and change his opinion about India.

  • @demiourgoslikes69 Trust me when i say - Letterman comes off looking funnier and smarter

  • @demiourgoslikes69 Burn India every time? When?

  • @vper6960 I know right. She ended up sounding like a dumbass.

  • @vper6960 that is so stereotypical.

  • @vper6960 I thought she sounded intelligent.

  • @vper6960

    how does she sound foolish... When she said "We don't have to make appointments with our parents" That's really reflective of the difference between Indian and western culture...

  • @cmjproductions1986 WELL SAID!

  • @cmjproductions1986 it was a bad come back...she did it out of spite and it shows

  • @contact1araya yea.. like you people ask that question very respectfully.. give us a break.. he got what he asked for.. deal with it..

  • @cmjproductions1986 EXACTLY! She was not foolish at all, they are two completely different cultures and she was educating him on how they are different. Indian culture is more communal and family oriented than the individualistic american one. I agree; what she said was not foolish

  • @cmjproductions1986 that's assuming all the parents in India have a good relationship with their parents..and that every person in the western part of the world is horrible to their parents...stupid stereotypes.

  • @bambam7180 Thank you :)

  • @cmjproductions1986 no..does everyone in the western part of a world have that type of relationship with their parents? no. Also does everyone in India treat their parents like god...NO.

  • @vper6960 yeah i can concure, however this bitch is the full whack! trust me. nobody i know is like her.

  • @vper6960 yeah yeah, reconize that you're a racist!!

  • @oranaise311318 you should recoGnise that i am South Asian.

  • @vper6960 and south asians are not trying to be clever and patriotic, cause they alreeady are!! and are on top of the american head-hunting lists

  • @oranaise311318 You are turning my comments into a race issue. I am South Asian - what can i gain from putting my own ethnicity down?

  • @vper6960 Suck your self Muda fuka. I'll shove my fist up your ass. and rape your girl friend. then I'll make my girl friend go lesbian on yours. give me your adress kid and if your any where near a 100 mile radius of my place. Ill come up there and Deepfist your smelly cunt. Sincerly, I guy whose about to shove his dick up his friends ass.

  • @vper6960 i feel like you dont understand what she was trying to say. Dave was bieng offensive implying she was only famous because of her looks and that she was immature to still beliving with her parents.People were laughing because DAVE came off as looking like a fool; they were laughing because Aishwaya Rai was so smart, she grilled Dave on his own show.

  • @treehuggerdude4 I don't think Letterman was implying that whatsoever. It's Letterman's show he interviews thousands of celebrities. I doubt a Miss Universe could outwit someone with his charisma - it's nice you are trying to stand up for her.

  • @vper6960 she is Indian, India is sub continent and was conjoined by tectonic plates, just because europe is connected to asia, doesnt mean its asia...

    Indian are patriotic because we deserve to be, we are the fastest growing country in the woorld

  • @icydemon10 I don't think being the fastest growing country in the world is something to be proud of when 80% of the country is below the poverty line. My comments were never a comment on race, it's just personal taste - just because she is Indian how is this invalid? People of European ancestry are allowed to dislike others of European ancestry. I just feel there are far better role models for the Indian community than her. She is gorgeous but does that entitle her to be a spokeperson for me?

  • @vper6960 who told u dat 80% people of country r below poverty line???U need to chk ur knowledge.

  • @prachi2689 Well officially it's 40 - 50 % but analysts have demonstrated that India is actually more poor than Africa.

    Have a look at an article by BBC news titled 'More poor' in India than Africa.

    You talk but where is your knowledge?

  • @vper6960 If India has more poor people than Africa,den wats ur problem???India will deal wid its poor.Thy r not going to ask u for food nd shelter....Ok

    And yes..u said 80% people r from BPL families,but According to a 2005 World Bank estimate, 41.6% of the total Indian population falls below the international poverty line.

    According to a new UN Millennium Development Goals Report,India's poverty rate is projected to drop to 22% in 2015.

    So,u don't hav 2 worry..

  • @prachi2689 Congratulations. You can search Wikipedia. If nothing else at least you learnt something new.

  • she fucking owned his ass

  • I love Aish! Indian culture is great!

  • Comment removed

  • he burned her.....what a defensive bitch

  • Letterman is an asshole

  • aish is a fake bitch.

  • Aishwarya Rai is a talented, beautiful actress and she deserves so much more credit than jealous, racist people give her.

    Letterman, on the other hand, is simply an old pervert. The man cheated on his wife and jokes about young girls getting raped. He has serious issues.
