Stunning Photogenic Mangalore Beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan | Photos | Movies List

Born on November 1, 1973 in Mumbai, Mangalore, Karnataka, photogenic stunner Aishwarya Rai was crowned Miss World in 1994 and first runner-up in the Miss India beauty pageant in the same year.   

See photo below, she's is really photogenic, right?!

She began her film career in 1997 in the Tamil film "Iruvar". A year after that, she gained commercial success in the Tamil film, "Jeans". But her breakthrough came in the Hindi movie "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" in 1999, where she won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress.

Since then, Aishwarya, a stunning actress with a blue-green eye color and captivating face, became a favorite leading lady of the Indian motion picture industry. Now, she is still one of Bollywood's most internationally-recognized and influential stars (although she has not been actively making movies since 2010). 

In 2003, our featured Mangalore beauty was the first Indian actress to become a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2007, she was married to Abhishek Bachchan after a long but troubled relationship with actor Salman Khan. 

Aside from acting and modeling (in below photo, she poses for Verve magazine), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is also active in various socio-civic and humanitarian works.
