Aishwarya Rai's Profile
Aishwarya Rai was born in the
South indian state of Karnataka in Manglore on 1st Nov 1973. She was
younger of the two siblings, her brother being 3 years elder. When she
was about 4 years old, her family moved to Bombay permanently. Her
father worked as a merchant navy officer. Aishwarya did her schooling
at Arya Vidya Mandir, Santacruz. Academically, she did very well and
earned her position as the head girl of her school. Ash chose the
science stream while at DG Ruparel College, her favorite subject being
Zoology. Aishwarya wanted to do medicine, but circumstances didn't let
her. Instead she chose Architecture and passed the interview at Raheja
College with flying colors.
By this time, Aishwarya had started getting modelling assignments.Her beauty and charm made her India's darling. She had a well publicised affair with Salman Khan which lasted 2 years. Apparently his endless tantrums traumatized her enough to give a press conference in spring 2003 where she declared that she would never work with him again for personal reasons.
Aishwarya is the first Indian actress to be on the jury of the Cannes International Film Festival (2003) and the first actress and performer from India to be featured on the cover of Time magazine. Apart from acting & modeling she campaigns for many social causes and has generously volunteered to donate her eyes and set an example for the rest of the world. She recently completed filming "Bride and Prejudice", directed by Gurinder Chadha ("Bend It Like Beckham"). She is set to star in "Chaos" opposite Meryl Streep for French Director Coline Serreau, Roland Joffe's "Singularity" and Barton Randall's "I Know a Place" and will end the year with "Mistress of Spices" once again with Director Gurinder Chadha.
