By
this time, Aishwarya had started getting modelling assignments.
She then decided to take a break from architecture and concentrate
on modelling. This green-blue eyed beauty stole ads for many prestigious
firms, the ones which brought her into the limelight were the garden
sari and the pepsi ad. Crowned Miss femina '94 runner up, she was
a hot favorite to win the miss world title, which she did ! Her
beauty and charm made her India's darling.
She
bagged Filmfare Award for best actress for her performance in Hum
Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) as Ajay Devgan's wife who is in love with
another man. She also won rave reviews for her performance as a
rape victim in Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai (2000). In 2003 she bagged
another filmfare award for best actress for the role of paro, she
portrays in film Devdas.
She
had a well publicised affair with Salman Khan which lasted 2 years.
Apparently his endless tantrums traumatized her enough to give a
press conference in spring 2003 where she declared that she would
never work with him again for personal reasons. In April 2003, she
suffered an accident on the sets of Khakee (2003). She broke a bone
in one foot and suffered severe cuts. The incident rekindled the
discussion about poor safety standards on Bollywood film sets.
Their
are 17,000 unofficial websites in her name and she's got to give
them something to write about. So she's all set to go where no Indian
star has gone before. While others have struggle alot. Aishwarya's
bagged a parallel role opposite 'Meryl Streep' in French director
'Coline Serreau's' Chaos. 2003 has been her annus mirabilis. On
the jury at Cannes, the international festival circuit with Chokher
Bali, the crossover sets of Bride And Prejudice, the cover of Time
magazine. And now she's all set to waltz into Hollywood. The film
trade traditionally treats its heroines as completely interchangeable
assets. Aishwarya Rai is the only Indian woman in world's Top 10
good looking women
