New Delhi: The ocean-eyed actress Aishwarya Rai has turned 40. This year Beti B – Aaradhya will also turn 2, so we hope Aishwarya to return to movies.Aishwarya Rai was born on November 1, 1973 Krishnaraj a marine biologist and Brindya in Managlore. Initially when Aishwarya didn't step into the glam world, the lady wanted to be an architect. When Aishwarya won the Miss World pageant, she was asked for a date by the host of the event. But the lady refused the offer. That's like a traditional ‘Bharatiya' lady. Once, Aishwarya went to a grocery shopping along with her mother. She was tapped on her shoulder by none other than, yesteryear actress Rekha. Rekha recognised Ash from her modeling ads. She complimented the young Aishwarya on her good looks and wished her all the best. It was a coincidence that Aishwarya later did an Umrao Jaan role with her hubby Abhishek Bachchan. Aishwarya met with an accident in the year 2003, while shooting for the flick ‘Khakee'. She had fractured her leg there. Among her favourite gods, Ash loves Lord Ganesha. Out of numerous films in Bollywood, Aishwarya loves “Deewar” which also had her pa-in-Law in the lead role. Among numerous stars she worked with, Rajnikant is her favourite co-star with whom she claims the best ever experience. While shooting for Mani Ratnam's Guru she proposed Abhishek Bachchan for marriage and soon after the film's release, the two got married. The actress has a habit of collecting most of the news articles related to her. Bollywood actress Preity Zinta is the only friend of Aishwarya among others in the industry. But the fact is, the two never co-starred in any flick together. Amongst numerous costumes the actress loves Indian traditional outfit, sari. No doubt she looks so hot in those costumes as is already witnessed in numerous flicks, particularly in Devdas. Aishwariya doesn't like to wear wigs while shooting. Why would she? Since, she has so silky hair which also has endorsement value for a reputed shampoo brand. The secret of her beauty is that she consumes lesser food. Aishwariya loves reading books on history whenever she gets time. After her lunch, she usually has the habit of nibbling at fruits. Keep your habits intact Ash and enjoy a good time with your hubby and daughter in Goa. We wish you a very Happy Birthday and a great life ahead.
