"What do I have to do to get her alone?" after a meeting, according to a Hollywood executive who represented Aishwarya Rai Bachchan internationally in the 2000s. "Kiss my black a**," remarked Simone Sheffield, the founder and CEO of Canyon Entertainment and Aishwarya Rai's worldwide manager at the time, to Weinstein, she told Hindustan Times, recalling the interaction vividly from a meeting in Weinstein's office in New York City 15 years ago.

Sheffield had made it her mission not to let anyone so much as touch Bachchan — she was to be “untouchable”— and had told everyone who would contact the Bollywood actor that she should not be hugged. “She was to be special, not your smiling girl,” she said.

Sheffield, who had committed to safeguarding the star, was angered by his silence. Also Read: Shah Rukh Khan once wanted to be a PORN star; here's what he said
