Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the renowned Indian actress, has captured the hearts of millions ever since her crowning as Miss World in 1994.

Known for her beauty and acting prowess, Rai Bachchan has left an indelible mark on Indian cinema and has represented her country on global platforms. In spite of her fame, she has managed to maintain a low-key approach to her private life.

Before achieving fame, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan appeared in her first commercial while still in school and gained attention through a popular Pepsi advertisement in 1993.

Contrary to popular belief, her acting career was not solely propelled by her beauty pageant win. In fact, she had received several film offers before participating in Miss India, and her first film would have been "Raja Hindustani" if she hadn't taken part in the pageant.

Rai Bachchan initially aspired to pursue medicine and later she turned her mind to architecture.

With a filmography of over 40 movies and numerous accolades, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has showcased her acting skills in iconic films such as "Guru," "Jodhaa Akbar," and "Enthiran."

Her performances in movies like "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and "Devdas" garnered critical acclaim and earned her two Filmfare Awards for Best Actress.

Rai Bachchan's influence extends beyond Indian borders, as she became the first-ever Indian actor to serve on the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 2003. She also earned the distinction of having a wax statue at Madame Tussaud's, following in the footsteps of her father-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan.

Despite her stardom, she remains grounded in her personal life, with her family lovingly referring to her as "Gullu maami." Additionally, she has expressed an interest in directing films in the future.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has once shared her relaxation techniques, which include indulging in spa treatments with aromatic oils and embracing the calming properties of oils such as sandalwood, chamomile, lavender, eucalyptus, and lemongrass.

While she admits to being a non-fussy eater, she follows a healthy eating routine and avoids processed foods.

This year, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan graced the Cannes Film Festival along with her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. She made a stunning debut at the festival wearing a shimmering green kaftan outfit by Valentino.

Over the years, Rai Bachchan has been a regular attendee at Cannes, showcasing her fashion choices from renowned designers.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's journey from Miss World to an iconic Indian actress and global trailblazer is a testament to her talent, beauty, and versatility.
