Aishwarya Rai in Kyun! Ho Gaya Na... (2004)

Aishwarya Rai in Kyun! Ho Gaya Na... (2004)

Despite initial reports the film had flopped, the film more than broke even despite a wayward and essentially pointless screenplay... What was the point of this love story?! Love is inevitable when the lead cast was in a relationship behind the scenes?! 

Some great songs, Aishwarya Rai still looking dazzling... even with some much-talked about curls (again for NO reason!)....

Mansoor Khan is such a gifted film maker with a near spotless record.

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...

 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.
