The Rai Magic
Aishwarya began her career in the film industry with a Tamil film Iruvar in 1997 which was a hit as opposed to her Hindi film Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya with Bobby Deol. She won the Filmfare Best Actress Award for her next Tamil film Jeans, which was also an entry to the Oscars. In 1999, she gained recognition in Bollywood with hits like Taal and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, in which she played opposite Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan, her role as Nandini fetching her the Filmfare Best Actress Award.

In 2000, her Tamil film Kandukondain Kandukondain, saw a good turnout. She took on the role of Shirley, Shahrukh Khan’s sister in Josh and then played his love interest in Mohabbatein which won her a nomination for the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award. In Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai, she played Preeti Virat, a rape victim and was considered for the Filmfare Best Actress Award. The year 2001 was a quiet year for Ash.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas (2002), in which she played Paro with Shahrukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit, was an instant blockbuster. It also received a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival. She won the Filmfare Best Actress award. In 2003, she acted the part of Binodini in a Bengali film Choker Bali which was based on a novel by Rabindranath Tagore. The film was nominated for the Golden Leopard at the Locarno International Film Festival.

The year 2004 saw Ash in her first English film, Gurinder Chaddha’s Bride & Prejudice, an adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice.

Her dance sequence Kajra Re from Bunty Aur Babli became one of the most popular tunes of the year.

Aishwarya Turns 37, Remains On Top Of Her Game

She is the one with the beautiful face who continues to flourish in both Bollywood and Hollywood. As she readies for another run at the box office with two big-budget movies lined up, former beauty queen Aishwarya Rai also prepares to celebrate her 37th birthday on Tuesday.

 

One of the most beautiful leading ladies in the Hindi film industry, Rai has come a long way since being crowned Miss World in 1994 and beginning her film career with a lesser-known but critically-acclaimed film, "Iruvar."




She is counted among the most successful actors of her generation. Her face still launches a number of brands every year and her appearances at Cannes year-after-year are as talked about as those of Eva Longoria and Kate Winslet. However, the most significant aspect of her 13-year-long film career remains her metamorphosis into being a "director's delight."
Her upcoming films, "Guzaarish" with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and "Action Replayy" with Vipul Shah, are totally opposite to each other in terms of the characters she is playing. In the first, she plays a nurse to a paraplegic Hrithik Roshan, a pivotal role when Hrithik begs for mercy killing. In the second, she plays an over-the-top character of a typical Hindi film heroine, who shakes a leg or two and even dons colorful saris while romancing Akshay Kumar in the style of the 1970s.
She is a much-reckoned artiste today, who is praised not only for her professional attitude but also for her complete surrender to her directors. However, despite being married into the first family of Hindi filmdom, the Bachchans, led by her father-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan, and having achieved international fame, Aishwarya remains as grounded as ever.

Subhash Ghai, who worked with her in 1999 success "Taal," says that she will still be in the reckoning even 10 years from now.
Bhansali calls her the "timeless beauty" and says, quite emphatically, that "she understands me."
Her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, leaves no stone unturned in heaping praise on wife dearie, as he says, "I feel great about Aishwarya's achievements, I am very proud of her," he told The Hindu newspaper. "Whatever adulation she has got, she truly deserves it. I'm happy that she broke the notion that women can't work after marriage."

However, in comparison to her rocking career and life, Aishwarya's birthday plans remains simple. She told the Times of India, "Time with family is celebration for me, and it's more than enough."

Celeb Couple Ash-Abhi Plan Romantic Getaway To London

After spending months shooting for their latest release, "Raavan," and weeks promoting it, celebrity couple, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are planning a quiet getaway in London. They plan to spend some quality time together, which they have not been able to do because of their work commitments.

 

It is a well known fact that London is one of Aishwarya's favorite cities in the world, hence, their holiday destination. However, it might also be because Abhishek will be shooting for the sequel of his recent hit movie "Dostana" in London.



When Ash came to know that her hubby was going to London to shoot for Dostana 2, she decided to mix business with pleasure and fixed everything for the holiday - right from the partying to meeting friends and picking up souvenirs.
Meanwhile, according to another source, holidaying is not all that the couple will do. Both Ash and Abhi will also be participating in the Lux Superstar Contest, sponsored by the soap brand Lux, which has the couple as its brand ambassador.




The romantic getaway to London will, however, be followed by yet again grueling schedule for the former Miss World, who will get busy with her forthcoming projects, Endhiran and Action Replayy.
