Aishwarya Rai in 2005. Her version of the 'revenge dress' was... this is exquisite black lace sari, where Ash has never looked better, hotter, more flawless...

 Find a flaw. Go ahead. 

 The faultless Aishwarya Rai. 

Aishwarya Rai at an event

 Floral for spring... 

 Ash looking incredible as always. 

Is this the best Aishwarya Rai's ever looked at an event?

Pre marriage, Aishwarya Rai looking breathtakingly beautiful was such a common occurrence that the press and net got satiated on it... Oh yeah, she looks great, yawn.... 

Now when you look back, as we did at this promo event for Provoked back in 2007, its incredible how staggeringly beautiful, elegant and regal, the queen of Bollywood looked.

We can't turn back the clock and Ash will probably never look like this again - but if only she'd go back to retaining the styling, an elegant sari, minimal jewellery, clean makeup... and just let her divine beauty shine. We are still recovering from her last Cannes appearance. 

Mamta Kulkarni at 53: Rekha at age 53!

Mamta Kulkarni, a classic case of a flash in the pan, who made headlines, crappy films and provided ample quotes revealing her intellect, had the absolute gall to state that iconic actress Rekha was just a "cosmetic beauty" while she was a natural beauty. Rekha, 53, in the Hindi film Yatra. Mamta Kulkarni now age 53. Pics say it all... 

Famous for all the wrong reasons, Kulkarni is currently avoiding prison with religious shenanigans and chanting mantras on TV to misdirect an easily gullible audience from her criminal past. Hopefully the long arm of Indian justice will capture her, as the tries to fog the truth with Hinduvata, purging her sins in the media, with no prison time.
