With her father in hospital, father-in-law still reeling under the illness he was recently hospitalised for and hubby Abhishek’s films bombing at the box office, this is not a good time for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The actress now finds herself in hot water over a run-in with the Indian Income Tax Department. Ash has recently received a legal notice from the IT Dept that accuses her of evading huge amounts of taxes. According to officials, Aishwarya was supposed to pay Rs 14 lakh in taxes on the glittering crown she won as Miss World in 1994. But the beauty neatly got out of it back then by declaring herself an NRI. Over the years, the amount has multiplied to Rs 50 lakh with interest. What’s the penalty going to be now? How is Ash going to clear her tarnished image? Watch what experts have to say.
