Biography

Her looks and talent made her a sure shot winner in the beauty pageants but faring equally well in films was a point to be debated. Would Aishwarya be able to deliver emotions, dialogues and dance with the same élan?

Ash's first film, 'Iruvar' (in Tamil) laid an expensive egg in the south. Ditto for Aur Pyar Ho Gaya and Jeans. But eventually, the girl with a million-dollar face combined with a strong personality and intelligence conquered Bollywood.

The debate concluded and went in Ash's favor. Almost all the happening directors and producers of Bollywood started booking her dates for their projects. The success of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Taal proved that she possessed and could deliver all that it takes to top the charts in Bollywood.

There were speculations over her being cast as Shah Rukh's sister in Mansoor Khan's Josh. People predicted doom for Ash's career when they heard of her acting as SRK's sister in the film.

Now even those speculations have been put to rest. The film may not have done roaring business in the box office but Ashwarya is untainted. She commands the same rating. In recent times, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam earned awards and acclaim abroad. That has given an international edge to Ash's star status, something she enjoyed even with the Miss World title.

All this has done the inevitable to Ash's career graph. She has the major producers and directors chasing her for dates. Leading men in the industry send feelers to producers to cast them opposite her.

Priyadarshan's Chandralekha, Indian (with Sunny Deol), Hum Panchi Ek Daal Ke and Sitaram Radheshyam (with Sunil Shetty), Sanjay Bhansali's Devdas, Albela (with Jackie and Govinda), Yash Chopra's Mohabbatein are some of her forthcoming films.
