It is well known that Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi were the two men Aishwarya Rai dumped before marrying Abhishek Bachchan. But a few of us Knows that Aishwarya Rai had dated model Rajeev Mulchandani at the start of her career. Aishwarya Rai had met Rajeev Mulchandani during their modelling days and instantly connected .

But as Aishwarya’s career starting scaling new heights Rajeev Mulchandani turned out to be no match for her and the relationship died a natural death. Rajeev Mulchandani has however emerged from nowhere and was spotted at a recent Page 3 event. Rajeev Mulchandani who had once dated world’s most beautiful woman looked skinny to the core during the event.

Aishwarya Rai wasn’t the only Bollywood actress who dumped Rajeev Mulchandani as he faced similar heartbreak from Manisha Koirala as well. Seems like Rajeev’s stars did not favour him when it came to dating B-Town babes.

Aishwarya Rai has somehow always dressed too old for her age. Even her attempts at trendy have failed miserably- jeans inside boots, mid- knee dresses, off- the- shoulder blouses. Cringe. Even her saris were too aunty for her age.

Aren’t we glad then that she is no more a red carpet embarrassment?

Bebo not only introduced size zero but also risque red carpet behaviour. Sporting, what looked like hickies on her back, getting beau Saif to tie up her back less blouse- along with some seriously fashionable clothes make her lead the red carpet race.

Rani Mukerji never got it right. A stylist’s nightmare, she mastered one hideous sari assault after another, also sticking mainly to blacks and reds. Trying to be sensual? We really can’t tell.

Amisha Patel till date does the in- between behenji and babe. That pout just looks bad.

What is that, you may ask? Those were the dark ages in B- town. Where Bipasha had an identity crisis for being too ‘ bold’ on screen so she came out in ‘ fusion’ wear and Manisha Koirala decided she was too pretty and innocent to be trendy.

Following her trip to Tinsel Town and the release of ‘Pink Panther 2′, Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan is back in Bollywood with a heavy duty call sheet in hand. The actress, who was recently felicitated with the prestigious Padma Shri award in Delhi, is set to resume shooting in Mumbai for Vipul Shah’s ‘Action Replay’.

Meanwhile, she has her hands full with Mani Ratnam’s much awaited ‘Raavan’, opposite her hubby Abhishek. The movie is scheduled to be released in 2010, and is being shot simultaneously in Tamil under the title of ‘Ashokavanam’. Though the cast in the Tamil version differ slightly, the main characters are being essayed by the likes of Vikram, Govinda,Prithviraj Sukumaran, Prabhu Ganesan and Manisha Koirala. It’s being claimed that Raavan/ Ashokavanam is a modern day version of the Ramayana, with Ash as Sita.

From the past to the future, Ash’s next project is S. Shankar’s flamboyant ‘Endhiran’ with superstar Rajnikanth. The movie is being shot in exotic locales and is going to be loaded with sci-fi special effects. Ash’s being paid a cool Rs 6 crores for the film, making her the highest paid actress in India. As of now she’s also signed on for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next production with Hrithik Roshan. Also in the pipeline are Abhinay Deo’s next film to be produced by Farhan Akhtar, and Vishal Bharadwaj’s next directorial venture.
