OlderAishwarya Rai Pictures
Also on offer from the Indian camp is Jagmohan Mundhra’s Aishwarya Rai starrer, Provoked (also co-stars Lost’s Naveen Andrews) based on the real-life story of a battered Indian woman who ended up killing her abusive husband in Britain a few years ago. Aishwarya, a Cannes regular by virtue of being one of the brand ambassadors of French cosmetics giant L’Oreal, has already registered her presence here. She sashayed up the red carpet in an off-the-shoulder gown, with Hollywood actress Andie MacDowell for company, on the opening night. She is scheduled to stay on for the special market screening festival of Provoked later in the festival.
Bollywood bombshell Aishwarya Rai, 32, is also set to star in two upcoming films in English — Singular (2006) alongside Brendan Fresar and Chaos (2007) alongside Meryl Streep. Pictured left to right :: Provoked photocall, Paris, Je T’aime premiere, and Cannes opening ceremony dinner. Many more pictures in the gallery!

# 25 | you HAHA, You are wise :POh! And Madz is great! I really love her dance.Rani and Ash are good dancer too.
Biggest star in India and Asia?DUUUUUH?Hellow!!I’m Asian!Who the hell is she?lolShe’s star only in india!!!tell the truth!!!!!lol
I actually think Bipasha Basu is alot more beautiful. I need to assert that i am not an indian so i do not know about any of the stories that you guys are asserting.
She sounds like she might be the Paris Hilton of Bollywood.
jealous much? the woman is stunning. that’s undeniable. as for all the gossip and BS that surrounds her, I guess it comes with the territory of being a gorgeous woman. all you haters should just diet and try to make yourself prettier rather than hating on people.
bipasha is gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as her boyfriend John A. - That man is too hot for words.I also think Priyanka and Sushmita Sen are pretty.
Okay, I only read the top few posts. I don’t mind the criticisms of Aishwarya. It’s probably a good thing. It’s a sign of good luck to come her way. And I think she is absolutely fabulous… as far as her looks go. I saw her interview on Oprah last year (or was it longer than that?), actually I read parts of it on Oprah’s website cause I missed it on tv, and I thought she was a little embarassing. I do not think she had any surgery. I’ve been watching her for YEARS and I never thought she was "the most beautiful" even though she won that world beauty queen contest(s). I just think she is opening doors for alot of Indians/South Asians who want to be in the American entertainment industry, as well as sweet ole’ (ahem, cough) Naveen Andrews (who I use to hate when seeing him in Brit movies, but now I like him… especially since he won an award). But I think there needs to be more Indian/Indian-American actresses in American films. It’s sad growing up and not seeing women or men like you. I had to grow up familiarizing myself more with black/latina/asian actresses. And let me tell you, there are some gorgeous looking Indian/Indian-American women out there. But these talent agents are just not looking. I’m atleast a little grateful that JustJared gives some graciousness to us.
When I first watched Ash on the screen many years ago, I thought she was wooden. I have to say over the years she has improved and to me is a good actress. I do think while beauty has been her advantage, it has been her disadvantage too. She is so beautiful, people presumed she can’t act or won’t give her due credit when she does a good job. It is almost if she is that beautiful, she has to be perfect.As for her boyfriends, I disagree that she just dumped Salman, looking at his track record, there is enough reasons to dump him. He drove drunk and over people sleeping on the pave road and many more things. As for Abhishek, neither camp has confirmed their involvement. Since we believe media like gospel, we are quick to assumed. In the end, we really no nothing about her personal lives except just make speculation. Although regarding Salman brush with law, that is definitely on record. I applaud for finally putting her foot down to that man.I think with all the controversy and gossips surrounding Ash, she has carried herself well and placed a niche for herself. Pretty good I say. And yes she has made the Indians more viable and seen. The lady is gorgeous, to me she can act and has a great body. She may looked plump at one time because by her own admission the never exercise till recently.Jared, I for one would like to see more of her.
Nice dress…
She looks exactly like this African American actress named LisaRaye in the first picture. The second, she looks like a bird. The third picture makes her look like LA Lakers Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa Bryant.Yeah everyone around the world knows about Aishwarya Rai and her beauty, but the more I see her and hear her speak, the more ordinary she seems. There are prettier Indian women around. I think her personality is what’s keeping her from really hitting it big in the West (if that’s what she want). Something a little off about her. She is pretty though. Meanwhile other Indian and Middle Eastern acresses are getting plum roles in primetime US dramas and films.
She is beauty with a tiny bit of talent, that’s all. I think the reason why she’s not hitting it off in Hollywood is because of her infatuation to look perfect all the time. You can tell by the way she is always running her hand through her hair every two seconds, especially during an interview. I get really embarrassed when she does certain things. During the Cannes red carpet walk, Ande MacDowell and Kerri Washington were all happy and just smiling for the camera. They both looked beautiful. Aishwarya looked gorgeous too, but she’s always flipping her hair, posing for the camera. And that’s it. Posing for the camera is the one thing she’s extremely good at, as well as manipulating people with her beauty and squeaky voice. Maybe she should take certain criticisms seriously. E.g. "is there a wishier, washier, wimpier actor anywhere in the known universe?" regarding Ash’s performance in Mistress of Spices. Her devoted fans need to realize that she is not perfect and never will be!
Oh my lord! Here we go again with all the Ash bashing. Dont we get enough in the bollywood forums? I been an Ash fan for about 12 years now and seen her grow into the star that she is today. I’ve met her twice and nothing of her seemed fake to me at all…..she was the sweetest person ever with the nicest manners. She was gorgeous as hell in real life then her pics shows. And as her acting? Oh believe me she can act much much much better then some people who claim to be actresses and Monica, if she had so much little talent, she wouldn’t be Bollywood’s biggest actress today and dont tell me she isnt cause you bet she is along with Rani and Preity. You dont get into the top for just looking beautiful or we would have had other beautiful people being the best actress in Bollywood who have no talent. As for her "cunning" ways? Is that coming from some Salman fans? LMAO that explains it all.
What are the things she does that are embarrassing? I thouht that celebs were SUPPOED to pose for photos. Not trying to argue here, I am just very curious.:)
How can anyone who is NOT LEGALLY BLIND WRACKED WITH LOW SELF ESTEEM AND A WHOLE HEAP OF JEALOUSY have ANYTHING negative to say about Aishwarya Rai !she is absolutely beautiful and super stunning!she was after all Miss World 1994 and the Hello! voted her The Most Beautiful Woman In The World with her vote count waaay ahead of kiera knightly and cindy crewford!people in Bollyowood and India simply cannot tolerate her because she is now MUCH MORE than an Indian heroine SHE IS AN INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTARshah rukh-the king khan and the big may be bigger stars in bollywood but their major draw is the asian population & NRI abroad!but all the people even the so called "whites" find Ash absolutely gorgeous!just go to her homepage and see the guest book..there are comments and huge compliments to her from literally allover the worldfrom Denmark to Sri Lanka to Thailand to the States!so there no question about her fame and success and esp her popularity!and without a question she is one of the biggest and most beautiful in Bollywodand those who say she can’t act should see Devdas as the achingly lovely Paro …woooW!!and what is this comment about "a Cannes regular by virtue of being one of the brand ambassadors of French cosmetics giant L’Oreal,"that was very ignorant and foolish of you Jared..I never expected You to say thatAsh is a Cannes regular first and foremost because she is a versatile actressher film Devdas was shown here and I belive the very next year she was invited to be a jury memeber in their prestigious panelhow many can claim such an honour like that!!!and I find the Indian community’s disdain and hatred and the obvious jealousy for Ash just very very annoyingyou should be very proud of hershe brings honour and fame to your countrywho else has done that…in terms of the bollywood stars who dance and prance around the tressI am from Canada and am German but I still have great respect for herafter all this is the woman Julia Roberts the Pretty Woman called" the most beautful woman in the world."Now who would want to argue with her???but personally I think the most beautiful woman in the whole wide world is the Ash look-a-like SNEHA ULLAL."ASH’S blue eyed white skinned twin"check her out in LUCKY-NO TIME she makes the puffy fish lipped Angelina Jolie look like a pathetic heap of burnt charcoal!!!!

okay, i didn’t know what to say when i first saw her pics and i didn’t want to offend anybody who is a fan of hers, but i found this comment on another site (Jared ur still the Best!) and i agree with the comments. I’m not jealous of her looks, infact she is beautiful and because of her, alot of people know more about bollywood movies, but i still agree with the comments below:"She is pretty. Classical beauty that is. But not stunning. I think it’s her personality. She’s empty and is obsessed with her looks, I feel like she’s always posing. I feel the same thing with Catherine Zeta-Jones. She is always posing in her roles, trying to enhance her beauty. But if I was a man I would never kiss her or fall in love with her. She has no spirit, she’s like a doll. She’s one of those women that is very insecure in herself but in love with herself at the same time. IMO opinion that means she can never be emotional, tempremental, expressive, artistic, or sexy."P.S. - i don’t think she is empty headed or she would not have gotten where she was, but do i think her looks helped her? Absolutely. Especially since beauty, as much as any person can deny it , does have an effect on how people percieve others. She isn’t the worst actress, but one of the best? Not by a long shot. She is a great model, but acting wise; like somesaid before, she is wishy-washy.but thanks for still posting the pics, jared.
# 41 | Leni |If you want to praise Ash, go right ahead, but please don’t call other people dogs. "but that squat stiff short Rani ruined it"and just cause she is short, does not mean she is bad, that’s like dissing every person out there because they are short. That’s very superficial of you to say that because Ash is more beautiful, she deserves a bigger part.
I neved said that " because Ash is more beautiful, she deserves a bigger part."what I meant was that since Aishwarya is as superior an actress as Rani is in Bollywood(Ash has TWO FilmFare awards for best actress!!!) with the same star clout, power and credentials she souldn’t play the second fiddle to Rani in any film!!!!!!!!WHY SHOULD SHE????????Ash has more rank and rule than Rani by a mileso why should she play the minor character when Rani is obviously the main caracter??????and as for Rani being short…have you seen the dance video of Rani in Mai Vari Vari?????she looks stunted and squeezed and oddly shaped in that hot pink outfitmaybe there is something wrong with the screen but she lokks disproportianate!!!!!anyone who has seen that would not argue with my claim!!!there is NOTHING graceful or artistic in her movementsshe just looks stunted and awkward and a pathetic dancer!!!!check out the dvd and then you’ll see what I am talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!even in her own film BUNTI AUR BABLI she needed THE SUPER ASH with her amazing drop dead gorgeous Kajra Re to transform it in to a blockbuster hit!!!everyone knows BUNTY …bacame a hit because of Ash’s hip swivelling dance talent!!!!!!!!!
you guys check this out. Bipasha is absolutely stunning and is the real bombshellhttp://www.bipashabasuonline.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=31&pos=0
jared, are you rasialist?
I live in Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world.Let me tell you. I first came across Aishwarya Rai in the movie DEVDAS. After that I was hooked!This woman is beautiful! She is a Miss World. And she is college educated!All those haters who criticize her miss one important point about her as a beautiful actress: she is smart!I am so glad she is so close to finally making her crossover to over here in Hollywood. With her many fans all over the world due to her Bollywood filmes, Hollywood will want to see more and more of her.She’s in her early 30s, but with a world wide fan base, Hollywood with its emphasis in show BUSINESS will love what she can bring.Ash … can’t wait for you to move to Los Angeles aka Hollywood.The "success’ of Catherine Zeta-Jones from WALES will not mirror the success that awaits you.LOVE YOU ASH!
# 44 | Leni |i would try to reason with you but i think ur rose colored glasses would block any oppossing viewpoints, so nevermind.If you think she is SUPER! then good for you.i’ll leave at that.just to remind you rani also has two filmfares, one for hum tum, and one for black.
carrie - yeah bipasha is just wow!actually, if people would notice, alot of bollywood actors are former beauty queens and male models, so there is plenty of eye candy to look at.lol.
Why did she date a man who everybody knew was abusive?
