Aishwarya Rai: Queen of the Bollywood

AISHWARYA Rai, the Queen of the Bollywood, was born on 1st Nov 1973 in India. Ash, the scorpion, has got the looks of an angel and a beauty that she is with lovely green eyes and blonde auburn style and she just walks like John Wayne at 5'7.5" of height. She's got a charm and wit which won her the 'Ms World' Crown and glory and she kills her fans with her dress sense.

Ash's family consists of her mom Brindya and her bro Aditya. Ash's speech skills are great and she's well-versed in English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and French.

Ash, as she's known around the world, has an amazing grace in her personality that no sooner than she's given her career in the modeling arena up is she the No.-1 in the Bollywood. It's not just the grace in her which did her the magic but behind all these achievements rests her skills, determination, dedication to the art.

Ash, prior to her life as a model and her debut into the Bollywood, was a first class pupil of architecture while in college and was so unhappy to leave it when forced to oblige to the demands for her participation in 'Ms World' competition which she strode ahead to win in the end.

The greatest thing about beauty Queen is - she all the way tries and looks forward to giving out the best in her and one has to watch her as she moves in to dance.

Watch her in Subhash Ghai's "Taal". She's Breath-Takingly Outstanding and Superb.

And to say about her acting capabilities, she's a hit and she's got the credibility for that in the Bollywood. Watch her movie - "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam".

Ash is everyone's dream gal in India and even elsewhere in the West. Of course, she's had her fan association spread beyond India too becouse off the screen, she participates and gets involved in a lot of social and cultural activities striving for the cause of humanity.

Her looks and talent made her a sure shot winner in the beauty pageants but faring equally well in films was a point to be debated. Would Aishwarya be able to deliver emotions, dialogues and dance with the same élan?

Ash's first film, 'Iruvar' (in Tamil) laid an expensive egg in the south. Ditto for 'Aur Pyar Ho Gaya' and 'Jeans'. But eventually, the girl with a million-dollar face combined with a strong personality and intellect conquered Bollywood.

The debate concluded and went in Ash's favor. Almost all the happening directors and producers of Bollywood started booking her dates for their projects. The success of 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' and 'Taal' proved that she possessed and could deliver all that it takes to top the charts in Bollywood.

There were speculations over her being cast as Shah Rukh's sister in Mansoor Khan's 'Josh'. People predicted doom for Ash's career when they heard of her acting as SRK's sister in the film.

Now even those speculations have been put to rest. The film may not have done roaring business in the box office but Ashwarya Rai is untainted.

She commands the same rating. In recent times, 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' earned awards and acclaim abroad. That has given an international edge to Ash's star status, something she enjoyed even with the 'Miss World' title.

All this has done the inevitable to Ash's career graph. She has the major producers and directors chasing her--all the time for dates. Leading men in the industry send feelers to producers to cast them opposite her. Its' a great acknowledgment of the itellect, verve and vigor of the great beauty--the ever-green Ash.●
