Sporting an au naturale look without any accessories in a new avatar, Aishwarya was photographed by ace lens man Farrokh Chothia for the October issue of the magazine.

The shoot was done in London that was the last leg of the recently concluded “Unforgettable” world tour. “Doing the cover was a promise I made to Anaita (Shroff Adajania) right from the time she joined the magazine. Anaita was having a baby and she wanted me to do it before she delivers,” Aishwarya told a news channel from London.

She added, “I was to do this shoot last month but I fell ill before I left for the world tour. So, we exchanged notes and managed to do it on time in London just after we finished almost the last show of the tour.” Anaita Shroff Adajania was the costume stylist for films like Kal Ho Na Ho, Being Cyrus, Dhoom 2 and upcoming films like Drona, Biloo Barber and Imtiaz Ali’s untitled project with Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone.

The actress’ makeup was done by Denise Rabor with hairstylist Josh Wood who couldn’t stop praising her beauty. Incidentally, Aishwarya is presently in Peru, shooting for her Tamil film Enthiren, with southern superstar Rajnikanth.
