Aishwarya 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!

oh my god..how can u ppl compare her wid angelina jolie? angelina is perfect..and real..she never wears make up..and ash always wears make up..and by da way ppl..for those who dusnt watch hindi movies..she may present india..as the spokes person..but the truly biggest one in india are rani and kajol!! ash ur so fake..i use to like u berfore

I think alot of her movies, despite not reaching "hit" status, were very good and deserved a bit more credit. Chokher Bali was an awesome movie, and even though it was talked about, it didn’t get as much credit as Devdas or Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (my personal favorite). Yes, alot of the attention she gets is because she is drop dead gorgeous, but she has some talent with that as well…it’s not all about the looks. Nobody could have played Nandini, Paro, or Binodini better than she did, in my opinion. :)

i guess it is really about opinion.but others have also done movies who deserve more credit.Ran in Ram Jaane, Raja ke Ayegi Bharat, and Madz in Pukar, Mrityudand.To me i guess, i just don’t like how she always plays a meek and weak person in all her movies, right up till the very end, where somehow she finds a voice.And the woman does not go without make-up ever. I don’t know her personally, but she has been in the media for years, you can somewhat tell she is arrogant through her interviews and appearances.That’s like me saying to another person you don’t if Britney is irresponsible with her kids, cause you don’t know her. She maybe the most mature person you ever met. Not.All I know is Ash isn’t as innocent as she portrays her self to be. And you’re right it’s not about the looks, otherwise all her movies would be hits, instead of just 2 or 3. After a while you crave more than just good looking people in movies, and she doesn’t provide that something else.Also, why are you just blaming Salman for their relationship. Everybody knew he was violent with others, so why did she date him and continue to date him for a very long time.It’s kind of funny how coy she is about the fact that she dates people. I just want to yell at her and say "IT’S OK ASH, JUST BECAUSE YOU GIVE UP YOUR VIRGINAL IMAGE, WE WON’T THINK YOUR ARE A ****!"The woman is in her thirties’s for god’s sakes, and yet every possible controversy she has been in, and there are plenty, is somehow not her fault! Gimme a break!

I don’t know about her acting & I don’t care. The woman is perfection. Her & Angelina are 2 of the most gorgeous women ever!!p.s. that’s gotta be one of my most favorite photos ever of her and what’s her face holding her camera up. Lord, that’s just gross. Never pose with someone so beautiful, no matter what you look like you’ll look hideous.

To whoever said we have no right to say she is not arrogant or self-centered: No one has to! It can be observed through some of her photos and interviews. She’s so superficial it’s not even funny.

When people mention relationships, all you Ash fans can think of is Salman. Whatever happened to Viveik and Abhi? She snatched them both at the peak of their respective careers. She’s beautiful, no doubt, but watch her movies. Squeaky voice, wishy-washy character portrayals. The one thing she is good at is looking good on screen. She’ll never be recognized for the little talent she has; it will be all about her beauty. And other actors just say nice things about her even though they may not think so because they can’t say something bad about her. I hate to mention someone else’s name in her thread but Angelina doesn’t care about being the world’s most beautiful person. I’m sure she acknowledges it but she doesn’t take advantage of the title and never acts so full of herself. Beauty isn’t the only thing that will get you so far. Angelina has achieved it because she has both beauty and personality. She acts like herself, whether or not other people like it. It’s all about individuality for her. Too bad the same can’t be said about Aishwarya.

People, people, people,,,, LOVE HER OR HATE HER,,, she gets attention!!!! She has STAR POWER!! Look at how many people are up in here writing coments about her!! Doesn’t matter if they’re good comments or bad,,, She has your attention and you’re writing about her!!!

By the way,, comparrisons to Angelina jolie or any other actress are quite stupid,,Why people constantly feel the need to make those comparisions, are beyond me!!! They REALLY DON’T PROVE ANYTHING!!!

# 106 | Jessie |Well said. If beauty and power is all that matters, there would not one single person who dislike Angelina Jolie. Just because Ash is beautiful does not excuse her superficial attitude.# 107 | iii | Paris Hilton is also talked about a lot, does that mean everyone likes her or she has star power.The reason Ash has maintained herself to be in the limelight is because of her looks and the gossip about her, not her talent or her movies.

"Well said. If beauty and power is all that matters, there would not one single person who dislike Angelina Jolie. Just because Ash is beautiful does not excuse her superficial attitude."Ok, what I meant by that is people DO look beyond beauty when people judge a person. I personally like Angelina Jolie, but many do not even though they will admit that she is one of the most beautiful women on the earth.

# 109 | i agree That proves my point perfectly!! Paris Hilton (as much as i cant stand her) HAS star power!! She commands your attention,, and people feel the need to talk and gossip about her!! People have an interest in her for whatever reason!! Star power doesn’t neccessarily equate great abilities or talent. Many stars today have no talent, but it hasn’t stopped them from going on to be a calebrity or star!! I’m not saying that any of this does or doesn’t apply to Aishwarya Rai… All I’m saying is,, the woman HAS MAJOR STAR POWER!! Proof of this statement is the mere fact that so many people have felt the need to take time and write about her in this thread!! She’s virtually unknown to the western film world yet she’s getting the attention of a full fledged oscar winner!! Cosmetics contracts and all!

Aishwarya Rai admits she was a victim of violence23rd May 2006 14.00 IST By Agencies The gorgeous Aishwarya Rai recently stunned everyone by replying in the affirmative when someone asked her if she had been a victim of violence.Ash is presently at Cannes for the screening of her film Provoked , which is the true story of a 23 year old Punjabi woman named Kiranjit Ahluwalia, who having lost both her parents by the age of 16, was persuaded by her brothers to give up her law studies and marry London based Deepak Ahluwalia only to be the victim of incessant domestic violence.At Cannes when someone asked Ash if she had been through any such experience, the gorgeous actress stunned everyone by saying, ‘Yes’.It is a well-known fact that Ash was dating Salman Khan a few years back. Salman and Ash shared a strange relationship, a love-hate relation that was the talk of the town. Salman was known to be extremely possessive of his then ladylove Ash. Friends and relatives of Ash too revealed that many a times he would physically assault her. However, one fine day when things went overboard and Ash could no longer deal with it anymore, she walked out on him.But Ash since then has never spoken about the pain, guilt or anger of her past volatile relationship or the reasons for her sticking it out so long.But at Cannes when somebody further enquired the details of the same and Ash apparently replied, "Wait for my biography."

is she really deadornot

First of all I have not known actresses in India without make-up. Someone mentioned Rani, oh boy, she wears lots of it, I believe even more than Ash. Rani is a good actress but I do believe so is Ash. Just because Ash is getting attention and not Rani, there is no need to bring Ash down.As for Ash being arrogant and put off in interviews. I guess beauty is in the eye of a beholder. I have seen quite a number of Ash’s interview, I didn’t see arrogance, cold or calculating attitude. I thought she was rather sweet, sometimes appearing naive.I don’t think she asked to appear innocent in media or otherwise. Media creates whatever they like. As for snatching Abhi and Vivek. You make them sound they are purses you just pick up. Give the men some credit. People get together and break up all the time. I am sure many of us have had boy/girl friends and broken up with them. Why is it such a big issue with Ash? It doesn’t always work up the first time you find someone.

Still, no one can surpass ms. angelina to me. ash is beautiful but I think she lacks that certain "thing" that Angie has. Maybe it’s the height/posture, the boobs but there’s just an extra "ummmpptt" to Angelina. If they were to have her stand next to Angelina, she’d look a bit miniature. It will be hard to beat out Angelina. But Ash is beautiful in her own way and those pair of eyes are something else.

I think Aish is really beautiful but I don’t like her. She’s not that great of an actress and I don’t think she can make it in Hollywood. And she is a little too proud. I personally think that Kajol, Rani and Sushmita are much better than Aishwarya.To Nikki:Oh and you think Hollywood movies are very close to reality? If Bollywood stopped making such colorful movies without music an dancing, it wouldn’t be so original, now would it? ;] And you are wrong about them not protraying sex and violence. You obviously haven’t watched that many Hindi movies If y’all want to ***** about what I said then go ahead..its not like I give a ****.

look guys this thread is so pathetic…wow. just wow.

Just to let you guys know Lisa Ray (from bollywood) is not african american, she is of Indian/Polish descent, her father was indian and her mother was polish.

I think Aishwarya has a very BORING face. Pretty but boring, and yes she does look like a bird. She DEFINITELY cannot act. Rani is a WAY better actress than Aish. Believe me, if i get the amount of plastic surgery Aish got and wear the loads of makeup she has on her face, i’d look 10 times better. Just imagine her without makeup. GROSS! I personally think Rani is way prettier and a MUCH better actress.

who the hell is she?!all i know is like most indians…SHE PROBABLY STINKS!

MistressOfMayhem @ 07/04/2006 at 10:31 pm

What a gorgeous woman, she is so elegant and looks very classy. Thanks Jared

She is OK and beautiful. Give her a break! All actors are arrogant,…You mean Rani is such a humble actress…give me a break. Get real ppl! All actresses are arrogant…look at Kareena suchy arrogance in her interviews, Karishma too is very arrogant and thinks no end of hersefl. So cut the crap about the ARROGANCE…

I heard Aishwarya sleeps with directors to get roles, that’s such a low act. She is too old to do ****** stuff. I hate her now, what a useless piece of **** Aishwarya is.

Aishwayra Rai is, by far, the world’s most beautiful woman. Her beauty is reminiscent of that of the late actress, Gene Tierney - often called the most beautiful woman to have graced the silver screen. Aishwarya’s beautiful hair, perfectly proportioned oval face, classically shaped cheekbones, flawless skin, bronze complexion, perfect teeth and stunning body, combined, make her a cut above the rest. Aishwarya is to beauty, what rolex is to watches. Aishwarya is the modern day Cleopatra.

Aishwarya is, indeed, the most beautiful woman on earth. Her exquisite beauty is reminiscent of the late legendary actress, Gene Tierney - often called the most beautiful woman to ever grace the silver screen. Aishwarya’s physical features are striking. She has a perfectly shaped oval face, beautiful thick, long black hair, flawless skin, beautiful copper toned complexion, perfectly proportioned face, stunning eyes, perfectly shaped nose, sensuous lips and gorgeous body. Aishwarya is to beauty what rolex is to watch-making. She is to beauty what Rolls Royce is to car-making. Moreover, Aishwarya is Bollywood’s most famous and successful actress, one of Bollywood’s best dancers, was a former Miss World, and her face is used to endorse some of the world’s most sought after products such as Coca-Cola, L’oreal and DeBeers. Aishwarya has achieved a lot in her relatively young life and has already gained legendary status in her homeland. Aishwarya has brought Indian beauty to worldwide attention via her films, exposure in the mainstream media and having been a former Miss World. Priyanka Chopra has also done her homeland proud in this regard. I would love to see a reality show about Aishwarya’s fascinating life and lifestyle. Even though she is not from a royal bloodline, she is considered Indian royalty, and treated as such. I hope that Aishwarya’s career will continue to boom and that she will one day get married and have children. Aishwarya Rai has been named the most beautiful woman in the world by various web polls and even Julia Roberts. She is more strikingly beautiful - in my opinion - than Catherine Zeta-Jones, Saira Mohan, Elle McPherson, Natalie Portman, and even one of my favorites, Halle Berry. Aishwarya is the modern day Cleopatra.
