    Often cited as 'the most beautiful woman in the world', the blue-eyed beauty has always charmed the screen and is one of the most most-talked about celebrities on the Cannes red carpet every year. She was the first Indian actor to be a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival in 2003. Image Credit: Insta/aishwaryaraibachchan_arb

    Aishwarya Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan
    In 2007, Rai married fellow actor Abhishek Bachchan soon after their movie 'Guru' won plaudits. They married in a private ceremony attended by close family members and friends. Back then, their nuptials were billed as the ultimate Bollywood royalty event and their union spoken of as the showcase of a brand-building exercise done right. Image Credit: Instagram

    From ‘Devdas' Paro to ‘Hum Dil De Chuke's Nandini to ‘Mohobbatein's Megha, Rai Bachchan has shown her versatility in a number of Hindi films. And she’s done the same with her Hollywood ventures including 'Bride And Prejudice’ and ‘Provoked’. Image Credit: #aishwaryaraibachchan

    Rai Bachchan not just made headlines for her Hollywood ventures but was also in news for rejecting some huge opportunities. She turned down, for instance, Brad Pitt-featuring ‘Troy’ because she wasn’t comfortable filming certain scenes. She also turned down three films -‘Hitch’, ‘Seven Pounds’ and’ Tonight He Comes’ - offered to her by Will Smith. Image Credit: #aishwaryaraibachchan
