Aishwarya Rai and baby

Nothing like the internet to fabricate entire newsbytes without a hint of truth. Here's a pic of Aishwarya Rai with her nephew (her brother's first-born son) but of course idiots have said its Rai's own child. Well, its not. But a great pic of gorgeous Ash

Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai in various adverts. Longines, L'oreal and Nakshatra diamonds.

Umrao Jaan (2006)

Aishwarya Rai in and as Umrao Jaan (2006). Movie wasn't much but my lord did she look incredible!! In every song and dance, she excelled... Even though the choreography got a little repetitive by the end... (choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant...hmm.)... Aishwarya Rai's famed beauty permitted the audience to sit and watch it through till the bitter end.

The film was sadly, dull... Even Rai's mesmerising beauty couldn't save it. As a critic commented about her, Rai has always been bigger than the film she was in. Often.

Awesomeness.

Hema Malini

Hema Malini. Divine. Captured by the magical photographer Gautam Rajadhyaksha.

The simplicity of this portrait makes it all the more beautiful. Hema Malini - one of the most beautiful Indian actresses of ALL time - has never looked better - which is saying something considering how many millions of gorgeous portraits there are of her in her rich career.
