Aishwarya Rai has not been active in films for sometime, but her husband, actor Abhishek Bachchan has not really missed her as he feels the media keeps her in news all the time.
"She (Aishwarya) has always been around. I don't think you guys (media) will allow anybody to make a comeback. You all cover us so extensively and so well," Abhishek told IANS in an interview.
The actor said filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar has approached him and Aishwarya for a project, which the two of them are considering individually.
"Prahlad has expressed a desire to make a film with both of us. We have not read the script and both of us have to like the script individually," he said.
Known for her performances in films like "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and "Guru", Aishwarya was last seen in "Guzaarish", which also featured Hrithik Roshan.

Akshay feels blessed by fan's love
Akshay Kumar might have a lot of fans, but one fan who walked all the way from Haryana to Mumbai, just to meet him, left him spellbound.
The actor, who returned from a vacation Tuesday, took to Twitter to share his joy upon meeting the fan.
"(I) Was informed by my frantic staff that some boy has been camping outside my house since the past five days waiting to meet me. I met him now and came to know the poor guy has come to Mumbai on foot, all the way from Haryana! It took him 42 days to get here," Akshay posted on the microblogging site.
The 'khiladi' thanked all his fans for making him feel special.
"I was bewildered yet happy that someone would do this for me. Thank you to each one of you for making me feel so special in your own little way. Stay blessed," said the star, whose last Bollywood outing was the actioner "Boss".
