Aishwarya Rai Biography-Things People Missed Out

I still remember when my elder brother told me about this beautiful girl in his college. He said, 'Guys were reaching early to college just so that they can catch a glimpse of her'. 'Bah!', I used to scoff, 'What a myth'.


But secretly, one day, my friends and me reached the DG Ruparel College in Matunga (West), waiting for the 'myth' to unfold. The teenage hormones were running overtime at the mention of girls that time, you see. Then the moment arrived...we saw her...and we kept seeing her even when she was long past gone into her classroom. This hot, gorgeous and the most beautiful woman to walk on the planet earth was none other than Aishwarya Rai...
(Va Va Voooooom)
That moment and the moment many years later when I saw her in the Pepsi ad are etched and embossed in the memory forever. These are somethings which you will never find in any biography of Aishwarya Rai.
The first time I saw the Pepsi advertisement on TV, Aamir was playing naughty with Mahima Choudhary (then Rita Choudhary), when this beautiful babe walks in and says, 'Hi, I'm Sanju...' The same Ruparel college girl, oh my God!
She had arrived. Truly.
That moment was probably the last moment when my young teenage hormones went berserk. After that I
grew up, of course. Remembering that moment still gives me the heebie-jeebies. I remember we used to keep track of when that particular ad was aired and during which shows, so that we can catch it by pretending to be watching the show. (Sigh)

Aishwarya Rai was always a star right from her school days when she did her first ad for Camlin pencils. She was nine years old then. Just imagine, today, she is the most sought after desi actress in Hollywood. One cannot imagine the number of offers she has refused and these offers were from Big names of Hollywood, no less.

Director Brett Ratner wanted to cast Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Rush Hour 3.
Will Smith has openly mentioned that he wants to do a film with Aishwarya Rai but she has been refusing him right from the time he made 'Hitch' to the current film he is making.
She has refused films like Mr & Mrs Smith, can you believe that? And then went on to act in some no-brainers like Pink Panther and Pink Panther2 where she had a blink-and-you-miss role.
But that's Aishwarya for you!

Anyway, there's a lot of trivia and professional details of the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, to be listed in one post. So please click on the links below to know more about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. (Incidentally, the Bachchan surname is regularly misspelled as 'Bachan', but get this once and for all, it's B.A.C.H.C.H.A.N.)

That reminds me about Aishwarya Rai's wedding to Bollywood star actor Abhishek Bachchan.
Her marriage to Abhishek Bachchan was a moment when many a heart was broken.
There were guys who wanted to commit suicide after that. Whew! Thankfully, I had grown out of that kind of fascination for Aishwarya Rai (Psst...I'm married now)

The wedding of the most beautiful woman on earth to the dashing Bachchan son, Bollywood actor, Abhishek Bachchan was a talking point for many days even though it was supposed to be a low profile wedding. Imagine what would've happened if it was celebrated in full glory?
But even then the wedding was hardly low profile considering the amount of money that was spent and also

the amount of publicity it received for so many days, even though the wedding lasted for only three days. (Only?)

Some Aishwarya Rai Wedding Trivia-

• About 15 kilos of henna was specially ordered from Sojat in Rajasthan for the henna ceremony before her wedding.
• The Bachchan wedding invitations were embossed with two entwined 'A's and delivered along with a box of some exotic expensive chocolate.
• Within the invitation was also a poem about new beginnings written by Amitabh Bachchan's father and renowned poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. (Isn't it strange how Amitabh Bachchan's father has a 'Rai' in his name?)
• Many Bollywood actors, directors and other people close to the Bachchan family were not invited for the Aishwarya Rai- Abhishek Bachchan wedding which ruffled a few feathers for a while.

Well, here are some photos of the wedding between Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan. Aishwarya Rai Wedding Photos.
