Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was not feeling well, but she still managed to put on a performance at this year’s Zee Cine Awards.
The dancing queen showed off moves from movies like Endhiran, the Robot and Action Replayy, and the crowd went wild more than once!

It’s easy to see that Ash is not in top shape, but her fellow B-town colleagues, including Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Karan Johar and Deepika Padukone encourage her from the sidelines.
We’re sure they’ve been in the same situation several times and knows how she feels. Check out Ash’s moves and let us know what you think; hot or not?

Move over Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone. There is no match to the serenity and rapturous beauty of 1994 Miss World Aishwarya Rai.
Aishwarya’s beauty is timeless, unearthly and ethereal but Pritish Nandy has dared to decode the mystique of the most stunningly beautiful lady on the planet.
Aishwarya is the cover girl on the latest issue of the reputed Elle Magazine and not only is she looking like an enchantress in her Victorian-era gown but she is completely enticing and bewitching with her pristine looks and piercingly dazzling eyes.
Magazine pays a tribute to the Bollywood actress and former pageant winner with a perfect ode that goes as, “They don’t make stars like her anymore. She is ethereal, enigmatic and casts a spell wherever she goes…”
She can be seen wearing a Rahut Bal ensemble which is styled on the Victorian age and highly assuages her impeccable charm. Priced at Rs 75, you can bring the stunning Aish home by purchasing this December issue of Elle Magazine.

And with the cover story based on Aishwarya’s rise to summit of fame, there is every reason why an Aishwarya die-hard should shell out those 75 rupees.

While Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra shall be busy this winter with their herd of films, former Miss World and actress Aishwarya Rai shall be nurturing the new born baby boy.
Aishwarya is now an aunty. No, we are not referring to the jibe that Sonam Kapoor had shot at Ash but we are hinting at the birth of her nephew. Aishwarya is now, officially, an aunt after her brother Aditya’s wife gave birth to a baby boy on 26th November.
And Aishwarya has decided to spend the wintry days in lending her warmth to the newly arrived. Aishwarya has had a busy 2010 what with as many as 4 films getting a release. From ‘Raavan’ to ‘Endiran’ to ‘Action Replayy’ to ‘Guzaarish’, Ash has been on her toes running from pillar to post for the promotion of her flicks. Besides, she has also attended quite a few film festivals and events including the famed Cannes.
But after so much of tedious labour, ‘break toh banta hai boss’. She deserves a break and she has got herself one. For the next two months, she won’t be working but looking after her bhabhi (sister in law) and her angelic nephew.
And we have seen her caretaker side in ‘Guzaarish’ where she nurses Hrithik so adeptly and affectionately. All we can say is that her nephew is a lucky guy! Is Abhishek already envious?

Bachchan bahu Aishwarya Rai may be one of the leading actresses of Bollywood but she has never quite been able to shed her inhibitions and become a real pro. This is the age where actors like Aamir Khan go to any extent to provide authenticity to their characters.
But Aishwarya’s coyness may have proved a hurdle to a free-flowing more exuberant acting career. Unlike Angelina Jolie, with whom she is often compared, Aishwarya is not comfortable about screen intimacy.

Aishwarya has never really been able to shed her reservations and in a 15 year career, she has only given one liplock (in Dhoom 2 with Hrithik Roshan). Besides she hasn’t indulged in much of a skin show. While it’s understandable that her ethics and morals don’t permit her to go bold, in the current era of high-tech gadgets, even an Indian actress is showing no qualms about kissing their co-star (take for instance the likes of Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone or Priyanka Chopra).
However, in Aishwarya’s favour, one must say that she is married and is therefore edgy about doing explicit scenes. But it’s a puzzle why her moaning scene in ‘Guzaarish’ was scissored down at the last moment on her request? Of course, her hubby is liberal and intelligent enough to understand the demands of modern cinema. But then, it also highlights the Indian principles and morals that are deeply seeded inside Aishwarya.
So, do you think you would like to see a little more liberal approach by the former Miss World?

Anushka starrer Arundhati, as we all know, was a big hit in Andhra Pradesh. Its dubbed version in Tamil and Malayalam were successes too. Anushka till then was known for her glamorous roles. It was with this film, that she laid serious claim to the number one position in Telugu cinema.

Now, Gemini Film Circuit is planning to remake the film in Hindi. It is learnt that after considering several top actresses for the role of ‘Arundhati’ including Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif, the makers have zeroed in on Bollywood queen Aishwarya Rai. The film, trade analysts say, has the potential to give a fillip to the career of Aishwarya Rai who hasn’t enjoyed considerable commercial successes in recent times.

Deepika Padukone vs. Aishwarya Rai: The Om Shanti Om girl Deepika Padukone seems to be on cloud 9 these days.

Following the success of her debut film, she never looked back. And these days she poses a threat to Bachchan bahu—Aishwarya and that too both look wise and career wise.

Her traditional Indian attire won her galore of appreciation from the International audience.

Where Aishwarya caught Scorsese’s attention, Woody Allen took interest in Deepika. Till date Aishwarya was the only bollywood celebrity to have been offered international projects, but this is no longer the case.

Aishwarya should be beware of Deepika as luck seems to be on her side.

Tongues started wagging as two Bollywood beauties-Aishwarya Rai and Deepika Padukone descended on the Cannes Film Festival.
While Aishwarya wore Western outfits for the first few days, Deepika wowed everyone by wearing a traditional sari with a really sexy blouse.
People started criticizing why Aishwarya does not wear traditional outfits at international events and after that the beautiful lady silenced everyone when she wrapped up herself in a stunning 6 yard sari.

We think that Aishwarya has got an amazing personality and she can carry off Indian and Western look with equal élan.
However we would still go for her Indian look since she has put on a little weight these days and the sari gives her a full and round look.
While Western outfits highlight the bulges, the sari can hide any woman’s problem areas and flaunt her curves if draped in the right manner.
Aishwarya also did not make the mistake of over accessorizing her traditional get up and looked extremely ravishing and sensuous.
Aishwarya just looked perfect and we think the Indian look suited her better than the Western get up, though we must admit she looked beautiful in both.
What about you? Which look do you think suited Aishwarya more? Tell us your opinion and suggestions.

Three of India’s hottest women became a cynosure of all eyes at the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival

While Deepika Padukone made India proud with her sari-clad red carpet appearance, Mallika Sherawat worked the crowd with her daring ‘props’.

But as usual it was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who grabbed the maximum eyeballs with her red carpet appearances as the global face of L’Oreal.

Here’s a recap of what the 36-year-old former beauty queen wore. Don’t forget to vote for the best look at the end of this slide show.

Lavender beauty

Aishwarya opened the festival in style with this fully embroidered tulle and mousseline gown from Lebanese designer Elie Saab.

Round solitaires adorned her ears and a buffon hairstyle completed the look.

Cannes Film Festival is a revered place for the film fraternity as the entire globe breaks linguistic & cultural barriers to showcase their talent & art on this recognized podium. So naturally, besides Deepika Padukone and Mallika Sherawat, scores of beauties walk the carpet of Cannes from around the Earth.

While, it’s difficult to single out one particular lady as being the most beautiful, Aishwarya Rai, certainly, deserves a special mention for elevating the beauty quotient of Cannes by leaps and dozens.
Cannes’ carpet has been fortunate enough to be stepped on to by someone who has done the unthinkable. In her quest for perfection, Aishwarya has dignified the word ‘beauty’, shattered the sky limits and disintegrated all rivals from her presence.
For 8 years, she has been ruling the Cannes and despite age catching up fast, she walks out to quench zillions of pleading eyes, feeds the cameras and comes back unscathed for another mauling, another year.
A perfect blend of class & confidence with a touch of Indianness and a drape of west, she has ceased to remain mortal. Elevated to the status of deity, she has never failed to mesmerize. So hypnotic is her unearthly charm that even history books have risen in ovation.

Though, she is a walking poetry, it’s a pity that critics are always looking longingly at her throat with a razor in their hands………

After a long time, the Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was seen in a traditional Indian outfit at the 63 annual Cannes Film Festival.

Aishwariya Rai mesmerised everyone at the red carpet as she walked in Indian outfit with her husband Abhishek Bachchan during the premiere of ‘Outrage’.

Besides Abhishek, Aishwarya was also accompanied by her mother Vrinda Rai and team of ‘Raavan’.

Aish’s outfit switch
From Armani, Elie Saab and Gucci designer outfits, Aish made a switch over to Indian outfit designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee at the sixth day of Cannes Film Festival, the most prestigious and world’s oldest film festival.

Aishwarya Rai was usually seen in western outfits more due to the rules of her brand L’Oreal. As per the rules, she must present herself in western outfit but this time she also showed her Indian side.

The sari was studded with stone and had a low neck blouse and on that she wore less of jewelry.

“The look was glamourised and it brought back memories of Ash in the film Guru. I also loved the make-up,” Ritu Kumar told NDTV.

On May 23, 2002, Aishwariya Rai was seen in a sari at Cannes Film Festival first at the premiere of ‘Devdas’ that fascinated everyone at the red carpet.

But ever since the 2003 outfit disaster, when her green sari and chappals at the ‘Dogville’ premiere were criticized even by the unfashionable, the brand L’Oreal made sure that she wears designer outfits.

Deepika Padukone still in race
Besides Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone also preferred Indian wear. She wore an off-white sari designed by Rohit Bal. She said that she finds sari very Indian and sensuous.

As per Oneindia, Deepika said, “There’s so much to Cannes besides the festival. In fact, the first time when I came to Cannes in 2002 I was here not for the Festival but as a tourist.

“I remember I had stood outside the venue of the Cannes film festival and taken pictures. I had promised myself that next time I’d be back as part of the Festival…and here I am.”
