Aishwarya Rai - Bollywood Beauty

Most people say actress Aishwarya Rai is the most beautiful woman on the planet. She’s also the number #1 box-office film star in the world. To uncover more about this mystery woman we have to travel 8,000 miles to a far away, exotic land . . .



Welcome to India, home of the world’s largest democracy, the Taj Mahal, and Bollywood (the film capital of the world). Bollywood turns out more movies a year than our Hollywood, reaching a global audience of more than 5 billion people. It’s glamorous and glitzy, and home to the most famous actress in the world – Aishwarya Rai. This global goddess has also been declared the “most beautiful woman in the world”. More than 17,000 websites are devoted to this former Miss World, who is the international face of L’Oreal, Coca-Cola, and De Beers diamonds. Time Magazine named her “one of the world’s most influential people”. This Bollywood beauty is a shrewed business woman, raking in (in U.S. dollars) about $15 million per film.

Rai is married to actor Abhishek Bachchan whom she married in 2007, and they recently had a baby girl. Like most women she follows tradition and lives at home with her husband’s parents. Wholesome and deeply religious, “Ash” (as she’s known), is fashionably hip and quite sexy. You will not see sex in any of her movies – not even a kiss. Kissing is viewed as a private act and not often displayed publicly. When things start to sizzle on the big screen in Bollywood, they start singing.

Aishwarya is on a mission to dispel myths about Indian women, such as that they don’t speak English. Another hot topic is how she lived with her parents when she was single, and now lives with her husband’s parents now that she’s married. In India there is a solid focus on family and remaining connected.

Ash is very active in Social Work and giving back to the Indian community.
