Aishwarya Rai is an international triple threat: model, beauty
pageant queen, and movie star. Since 1997 she has been one of the
superstars of "Bollywood," the Indian film industry. As a college
student she entered and won the 1994 Miss World contest, an honor which
opened the door to work as a model. A striking brunette with hooded eyes
and full lips, she appeared on the covers of Cosmopolitan, Elle, and other fashion magazines. Her first film was the 1997 political drama Iruvar.
As Bollywood underwent an explosion of success and innovation, Rai
became one of its favorite daughters. She proved to be a voluptuous
presence in the mode of Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida; like Lollobrigida, Rai has often been hyped as "the most beautiful woman in the world." Her 2002 film Devdas
was a tremendous hit. She has worked mainly in Indian films, but in
recent years she has appeared in Western productions, including Bride and Prejudice (2004, a colorful take on the Jane Austen tale) and Mistress of Spices
(2005). Rai was married to actor Abhishek Bachchan on 20 April 2007.
The wedding was a spectacular event in India; as noted by Agence France
Presse, "The couple have been dubbed 'India's Brangelina' after
Hollywood's A-list couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie."
Rai is known as "Ash" or "Aishu" to her fans... Abhishek Bachchan is
the son of another famous actor, Amitabh Bachchan... Her official site
once described Rai as "the first Indian female to be immortalized in wax
at the world famous Madame Tussaud's wax museum in London"... Also

Biography
Aishwarya Rai's striking beauty might make her seem an obvious fit as a
model, but the truth is that India's 1994 Miss World winner originally
took up modeling as a part-time job to get her through school. She was
studying to be an architect, but due to her obvious talent on-stage and
in front of the camera, -- most notably in a wildly popular Pepsi
campaign -- the starlet began accepting the movie offers that had been
pouring in. Rai began her reign as Bollywood's favorite leading lady in
the film Iruvar,
following it up that same year with ...Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya. They both
earned her critical praise and the latter brought her a Best Female
Debutante Award. More awards would follow, including Best Actress by Filmfare and Zee Cine for 2000s Straight from the Heart. As the actress put more and more films under her belt, her position as India's darling cemented. Her role in 2002's Devdas was especially auspicious; the movie was the most successful in Bollywood history and received a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival
-- the first Bollywood film to receive such an honor. The next year
found Rai making still more headway for Bollywood when she became the
first Indian member of the grand jury at Cannes.
By 2004, Rai had appeared in well over 20 films in just seven years, and
it was finally time for her to star in her first English-language film.
The Hollywood/Bollywood crossover hit Bride and Prejudice reworked Jane Austen's classic love story Pride and Prejudice
with the Bollywood film style, bringing together Eastern and Western
actors, as well as themes. The film proved to be yet another successful
example in Rai's history of helping to bring India's culture and film
into the world spotlight, delighting fans all over the globe. Having
sampled Hollywood, Rai was now ready to make a serious foray into
American films. She signed on to star with Colin Firth and Ben Kingsley in 2007's historical epic The Last Legion as well as French director Coline Serreau's remake of her 2001 film Chaos, which would cast Rai alongside Meryl Streep.
The actress had no intention of abandoning the cinema of her heritage,
however, and simultaneously jumped on board with Indian movies like the
The Heart of India and the historical romance Jodhaa Akbar -- in which she would play the title role of Mungal king Emperor Akbar's Hindu wife and queen.
By this time, Rai's success as an actress unwilling to compromise her
love and devotion to her national background had made her the highest
paid actress in Bollywood history. Her fame had also buffered her image
as the face of India, helping bring the art of her home country into the
world-consciousness through countless magazine covers in multiple
countries, a listing in Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World Today," as well as Hello Magazine's "Most Attractive Women in the World" and Rolling Stone's "Hot List." Rai even joined actresses Catherine Deneuve and Andie MacDowell as a member of L'Oréal Cosmetics' Dream Team, acting as an ambassador around the world. |
