She is not North Indian. She is from Southern India.

An actress in and from a foreign country.


Once known as the most beautiful face in the world!!


Not worldwide--she is popular in some specific places. The "world" can't think she is beautiful if they don't know she is.


She won the "Miss World" contest in 1994.

Time magazine gave her a 100 most influential people award.

Her modeling didn't show up much in mainstream US publications but I once saw a luxury watch print ad of hers in the New Yorker.

She's definitely one of the most famous Indian celebrities. She is married into a celebrity family as famous in India as the Jolie Pitt family.

Ok this is the U.S. not India. I don't know what is going on in India like I don't know what is going on in Cambodia or Argentina. Is there some reason why India is special?


PP. This is in the celebrities section of DCUM. Just because you've never heard of someone who is not American doesn't lessen their fame. My point is basically that this person is globally famous. This thread has come up because she's going to a billionnaire's kid's wedding. Justin Bieber, Rihanna, the Trumps and American and British politicians have been involved in this wedding and the engagement party earlier in the year.

India is a pretty large country, lol. And we have lots of immigrants from there. Bollywood and Hollywood do intersect. Do you recognize Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas?

Are you aware of Sophia Loren, Catherine Deneuve, or Brigitte Bardot? Those are relevant parallels although they did more crossover work. Many young people in the US would have no idea who they are.


Nigeria is a large country as well. I think you think India needs to have a sort of more special importance to us than other countries. It doesn’t. So naming actors/actresses from India without explaining who they are is a flex-you must certainly know who these people are if you don't go learn about them they are important! Yeah no.

Lots immigrants means there is something they want to leave behind, not impressive.


Listen to yourself. People talking about something you don't know about is a flex? Maybe you are too lazy to Google. This actress has an English language Wikipedia page.



I don’t even get the PP’s point. If she was so unknown and unworthy of a thread, it would have just died. Why do you need to police the topic of threads?

I would love to see how many 50 year old posters on this thread look better than she does.

Exactly.


It’s a comparative thing. She was beyond stunning when young. Didn’t really get her looks back after she married and had her child. I think that stands in contrast with the stars of today (like Alia and Anushka) who somehow manage to look better than they did, pre-kid. Could also be because she married and had her child later.

Whats wrong with her husband?


Not the PP but It's not necessarily him. It's his family. The Bachchan family is huge in Bollywood. They're traditional to the point they're shrewds. Aishwarya, her husband and their daughter actually lived with them for years
They despise Aishwarya and are openly hostile toward thrm. For example his sister does a podcast and would praise Salman Khan (Aishwarya abusive ex) all the time. They often "forget" her and her daughter on the podcast and have made faces toward her. Common issue in Indian families but they are nasty toward her.

Her husband(Abhishek) is a supposedly a nice guy but let's his family run over her.

Not marriageworthy.


Who drove drunk and killed someone? Abishek???


Bump!


Salman Khan, the star ex-boyfriend

Long court battle exonerated him due to lack of certainty. His SUV drove over some street people and one died.

He was the wrong guy in Hum Dil Chuke Sanam and the wrong guy in real life.

She is very beautiful but prone to gaining weight and it goes directly into her cheeks and arms.

I've seen her in real life at a mall when she was marooned here in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. She was tall. That is all. She really was not that pretty and it's the magic of makeup. I think she has had her skin lightened using those Korean techniques. She was very dark in 2001.

Many Indians (me included) think it’s perfectly lovely when non Indians wear Indian clothes to an Indian event.

But maybe not as much bling as a regular Indian bride?


It was more the necklace and headpiece Khloe wore and the makeup. She was clearly trying to look Indian.
