Aishwarya Rai, Mani Ratnam, Abhishek Bachchan at Guru premiere

2007, dazzling Aishwarya Rai at the American premiere of Guru with mentor, film director/producer Mani Ratnam and co-star, and then fiancé, Abhishek Bachchan. 

A woman in love is a thing of beauty... 
 

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.
