Aishwarya Rai


Who is the most beautiful woman in the world? Half a century ago, Hollywood would have presented her to us.

Her name is Aishwarya Rai, and she is an actress living and working in
Bombay, India. The reigning queen of Indian cinema, and also a
classically trained dancer, Rai has starred in 24 films over the last
seven years.



That may seem like a lot of movies, but Bollywood, India’s film
capital, is famous for churning out more movies a year than Hollywood.
Three new films are produced and distributed worldwide every day,
attracting a global audience of 5 billion people. That’s twice the
reach of Hollywood.
