'The most beautiful woman in the world.' These words are often used to
describe Aishwarya Rai, the world over.

From that infamous trip at the Miss
India pageant in 1993, and subsequently being crowned Miss World 1994, Aishwarya has wowed everyone with her almost
perfect beauty.

She stepped into Bollywood with a
shaky start but gained critical acclaim for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Hum Dil De Chuke
Sanam. The same year saw the release of Taal which won her several awards and gave her recognition as an actor.

With a Time magazine cover featuring her
and being immortalised at Madame
Tussaud's Museum, she is hot property
in both India and abroad with a string of Hollywood filmsto be released in
the near future.

Aishwarya was termed an ice-maiden but the industry warmed up to her after her abusive relation-ship with Salman Khan ended rather dramatically.
