The lovely green eyed Miss world 1994, Aishwarya Rai popularly known as Ash was born on 1st November 1973 at Mangalore.
Born to parents Krishna and Vrinda Rai, she and her brother Aditya, were brought up in a middle class background. Aishwarya did her schooling at Arya Vidya Mandir, Santacruz in Mumbai and junior college from Jai Hind. She pursued her graduation in Architecture from Rachana Sansad School, Mumbai. By this time, Aishwarya started getting modelling assignments in Fashion shows and advertisemnet campaigns. She won the Famous Ford Contest at the age of 17. From that point there was no looking back. She participated in the Miss India Femina contest 1994 and became the Ist runner up which paved her way for winning the Miss world crown 1994. Aishwarya Rai's career took off as soon as she became 1994 Miss World.
Aishwarya's looks and talent made her a sure shot winner in the beauty pageants but faring equally well in films was a point to be debated. Would Aishwarya be able to deliver emotions, dialogues and dance with the same élan?
Ash's first film, 'Iruvar' (in Tamil) laid an expensive egg in the south. Ditto for Aur Pyar Ho Gaya and Jeans. But eventually, the girl with a million-dollar face combined with a strong personality and intelligence conquered Bollywood.
The debate concluded and went in Ash's favor. Almost all the happening directors and producers of Bollywood started booking her dates for their projects. The success of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Taal proved that she possessed and could deliver all that it takes to top the charts in Bollywood.
That has given an international edge to Aishwarya's status, something she enjoyed even with the Miss World title.
All this has done the inevitable to Ash's career graph. Aishwarya has the major producers and directors chasing her for dates. Leading men in the industry send feelers to producers to cast them opposite her.

Bachchan and Ash visited the Sense Rodney Clark Resource Centre in Leeds, a specialist centre that offers vocational, educational and arts facilities for people who are both deaf and blind. "As you know IIFA is here to celebrate Indian cinema and whereas we have the award ceremony and the celebrations but I think it is vital that we also associate ourselves with some of the more social work that is being conducted in the region which is hosting us. So whether it is a charity match that we are about to play a little later on for a noble cause, whether it is associating ourselves with global cool which is going to look after the global warming issue or whether it is tospend some time with this very noble institution ‘Sense’." the Big B told reporters.
Bachchan played the part of the inspirational tutor of a deaf-blind child in the 2005 film Black . An experience that taught him a lot.
"I did a film some years ago where I was a teacher and there was a little girl who was deaf dumb and blind and we did go through a course of learning some basic sign language to be able to communicate in the film. When you are dealing with a character who is physically challenged in this manner and you have to do a film I think your task is doubly tortuous because not only are you trying to convey to your colleague who is physically handicapped what I am saying but I have to interpret what she is saying to me and because she cannot speak therefore the audience can not hear what she is says so I have to repeat what she says and we had to build the scene accordingly. "
Bachchan was approached by Sense to visit the centre to raise awareness of deaf -blindness whilst he is in England for the International Indian Film Awards (IIFA) taking place in Sheffield.
Aishwarya Rai, the angel and the queen of the Bollywood, was born on 1 st Nov 1973 in INDIA. Ash, the scorpion, has got the looks of an angel and a beauty that she is with lovely green eyes and blonde auburn style and Aishwarya walks like JOHN WAYNE at 5'7.5" of height. She's got a charm and wit which won her the Ms WORLD crown and glory and she kills you with her dress sense.
Ash's family consists of her mom Brindya and her bro Aditya. Ash's speech skills are great and she's well-versed in English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and French.
Ash, as she's known around the world, has an amazing grace in her personality that no sooner than Aishwarya's given her career in the modelling arena up is she the NO 1 in the Bollywood. It's not just the grace in her which did her the magic but behind all these achievements lie her skills, determination, dedication to the art and an undying love for the state - INDIA which drove her to let the goods.
Ash, prior to her life as a model and her debut into the Bollywood, was a first class pupil of architecture while in college and was so unhappy to leave it when forced to oblige to the demands for her participation in MS WORLD competition which she strode ahead to win in the end and so the pride for INDIA.
The greatest thing about Ash is - she all the way tries and looks forward to giving out the best in her and one has to watch her as Aishwarya moves in to dance.
Watch her in Subhash Ghai's "Taal". She's Breath-Takingly Outstanding and Superb.
And to say about her acting capabilities, she's a hit and she's got the credibility for that in the Bollywood. Watch her movie - "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam".
Ash is everyone's dream gal in INDIA. Of course, Aishwarya's had her fan association spread beyond INDIA too becoz off the screen, she participates and gets involved in a lot of social and cultural activities striving for the cause ofof INDIA.
