That came in a little later because when our dates were worked out, we had worked out the schedule in a manner where I was shooting with both of them first. Then there was a gap for Aishwarya. In that gap she went and got married and in that gap I was shooting with Hrithik. It was a well spaced out schedule. So her international assignments or the marriage did not affect me. In fact, whenever any actor or any other Indian is doing things abroad, I bend my back, I mean I go backwards, to help him do that. So be it Rahman when he went for *The Lord of the Rings* and *Bombay Dreams*. *You know during every film of mine Rahman has always gone for some foreign assignment. During Lagaan, it was for Bombay Dreams, then during Swades, it was, I think, Lord of the Rings and during this film, it was Elizabeth. So something or the other kept coming up. * I always try and adjust if there is a foreign assignment.
