When it comes to hosting, India seems to prefer Julia Roberts over Angelina Jolie.

Roberts is currently shooting in Haryana for Eat, Pray, Love , while Jolie was in Pune in 2006 for filming A Mighty Heart .

Even when comparing with Bollywood actresses like Aishwarya Rai, Roberts appears to be comparatively scoring higher points, reports suggest.

Roberts seems to have won all she interacted with in India — villagers, media persons following her, and the Indian crew members.

Qualities reportedly appreciated in Roberts include simplicity, humility, relaxed appearance, accessibility, professionalism, down-to-earth style, drinking chai and street-walking with natives, eating with all the crew (while Jolie reportedly ate only with American or non-Indian crew), sticks to schedule, throws no tantrums or airs, does her homework thoroughly before shooting day, moved around barefoot, preferred walking over riding car to small distances, etc.
