At just 21, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was crowned the most beautiful woman in the world. Following that she won millions of hearts with her extraordinary persona and performances in films like ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’, ‘Taal’, and ‘Devdas’, through which she cemented her place as one of the most talented actresses in the industry. She was last seen on the silver screen in Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, and her brilliant portrayal of poetess Saba Taliyar Khan was applauded by critics and audience alike.

However, in a recent interview, Aishwarya said that she doesn’t limit herself to just being a model, beauty queen or an actress. The stunning actress asserted, “Beauty is transient and changes with time. I have always extended beyond a singular dimension. I haven't been just a model, actor or title winner. The course I charted out for my career made me multi-dimensional and gave me opportunities to represent India on many global platforms."

The actress shares a very close bond with her mother Vrinda Rai and is often accompanied by her at award shows and other public appearances. Talking about how her mother had a great role in making her the woman she is today, Aishwarya said, “My mother Vrinda Rai is the nucleus of my existence. She has greatly moulded me, shaped me, picked me up when I've been down, kept the faith in me and taught me to be the best version of myself that I can be."
