Aishwarya Rai in her first Hindi film Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya (1997)

Though the film was written off originally, the movie more than doubled its budget at the box-office making it Aishwarya Rai's first official Hindi hit.
Originally the critics were not that kind to her - but the industry was. She bagged all the mega banners in one go; be it Mani Ratnam, Shankar, Yash Raj, Subash Ghai and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. She had also been offered Karan Johar's films and Rajshri's (but it didn't come to being).
She was compared to Madhuri Dixit in 1997 - from her first film when Madhuri had done 70 films already, which wasn't a fair comparison. In just 3 years of course, Ash climbed to the top with sheer hard work and dedication.

Stylist Edit: Pooja Bhatt and Aamir Khan vs Shahrukh Khan and Alia Bhatt
Pooja Bhatt's off-shoulder white dress embroidered with roses was one of the most iconic outfits from the definitive rom com, Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin (1991). Exactly 25 years later, a clever stylist re-worked the original design -- take a bow Anna Singh -- and dressed Pooja's younger step-sister Alia Bhatt for her appearance on the Kapil Sharma show in 2016.
Cute.
