Aishwarya Rai Appreciation Thread #1 - India's Leading Beauty-Queen
Aishwarya Rai Appreciation Thread
Hey everyone! I wanted to open this appreciation thread for the beautiful Indian actress, Aishwarya Rai AKA Miss World 1994 who is currently bursting into Hollywood. Biography (from http://www.aishwaryaworld.com ): AISHWARYA RAI (Ash) is one of Bollywood's pre-eminent leading ladies. This Indian darling burst upon the world stage when her striking beauty, poise and commanding intelligence won her the Miss World crown in 1994. This former architecture major soon became one of India's most famous models landing a prestigious Pepsi campaign and appearing in Vogue Magazine. India's top Bollywood directors were soon lining up to work with Ash. Her film debut in Mani Rathnam's 'Iruvar' (1997) received critical acclaim and her performance in Rahul Rawail's '…Aur Paar Ho Gaya' (1997) garnered her the Best Female Debutante Award. In 2000 she was awarded Best Actress by FilmFare and Zee Cine for her work in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam", in that same year, nominated for Best SUPPORTING Actress for her special appearance in Aditya Chopra's MOHABBATEIN. In 2001 Ash was nominated for FilmFare's Best Actress Award for Satish Kaushik's "Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai". Ash's star continued to rise in 2002 working again with Sajay Leela Bhansali in 'Devdas'. 'Devdas' is the most ambitious and most successful film in Bollywood history. It became the first Bollywood picture to ever receive a special screening at this year's Cannes Film Festival and broke box-office records in India and the United States. Daily Variety's (06/12/02) Derek Elley describes 'Devdas' as "…some of the most sumptuous production values in Bollywood history…" Elley describes Ash as "almost Audrey Hepburn-like", Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann says "I loved her in Devdas" and Julia Roberts calls her "the world's most beautiful woman". 2003 brought even more exciting opportunities. Ash became the first Indian actor to be a member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival. Ash is also the latest member of the elite L'Oreal Dream Team, joining beauties Catherine Deneuve & Andie MacDowell as their international ambassador. She graced the covers of India Today and the prestigious TIME Magazine. Time Magazine has also listed her on their list of the “100 Most Influential People in the World Today”. Ash was also listed on Rolling Stone Magazine's annual "Hot List", Hello Magazine’s Most Attractive Women in the World”, Stuff Magazine, FHM magazine, V-Life from Variety Magazine, GQ Magazine, New York Times Magazine, and countless others. Ash completed filming "Bride and Prejudice", a re-working of the Jane Austin classic opposite actor Martin Henderson (The Ring), directed by Gurinder Chadha (Bend It Like Beckham), released in October within the UK and India and in the USA February 11, 2005. To close 2004, Ash has finally launched her “Official Website” www.AishwaryaWorld.com and has the great honor of being the first Indian Female immortalized in wax at the world famous Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in London. 2005 started off with a bang! Aishwarya became the first Bollywood star to be featured in a one-on-one profile on 60 Minutes. 60 Minutes is the #1 news show in America. Scheduled filming of "Chaos" opposite Meryl Streep for French Director Coline Serreau, "Singularity" for Director Roland Joffe and “Windfall – the Bhopal Story” of which she will also serve as Executive Producer, are all set for 2005. Hollywood is definitely taking notice. Filmography: Shabd (2005) .... Antara Vashisht Bride & Prejudice (2004) ....

I love that first photo. She is such a beauty. It looks like it would be from the same shoot as when she did the Longines advertisement.

I am a fan of Aishwarya - she is a brilliant actress, as i also watch Bollywood movies, as we have seen her in English movies like Bride and Prejudice and now Mistress of Spices, and Hollywood are taking an interest in her - what do you think about her???

not to be rude, and well im indian and ive probably watched like every indian movie. and aishwarya is not that great of an actress compared to other actresses, and shes not that pretty either. like bipasha basu(google her) is MUCH prettier than aishwarya. the only reason shes voted most bueatiful is bcuz 1. shes in 2 american movies(no offense) and 2.she gets so much publicity, and she gets it all bcuz she messed up this famous indian actor(salman khans) life, shes like the paris hilton or jlo of bollywood. she goes out with pretty much everyone!! and well no offense(i didnt mean to offend anyone that likes jlo or paris hilton too) but aishwarya tries to make it big in hollywood, so she just takes any american movie taht comes along, like bride and prejudice and spice of mistreess(i think thats what its called) and idk bout the 2nd one but bride&prejudice was a flop. and same thing with indian movies. she just takes roles to be in movies so doesnt take them for the character or the movie storyline. shes had a lot of flops, i think only 2 movies of hers have been hits. and she flaunts her money to much, she really does have a attitude, like she thinks shes better than everyone cuz shes rich and famous. other indian actresses/actors are mUCH MORE richer and famouser than her but they dont act snobby.
its just my opinion compared to other indian actresses, shes not that great of actress and shes not as pretty as other ones too. dont mean to offend any that does like her __________________
