In 2002, she played in “Devdas” - one of the most ambitious films in Bollywood history having known international success - which triumphed at the Cannes Film Festival. Aishwarya gained international popularity there and, the following year, became the first Indian member of the festival’s jury. Hollywood couldn’t resist her and, in 2004, she appeared in her first English film, “Bride and Prejudice”, and played in other international productions thereafter. Aishwarya became one of her country’s favourite celebrities. Her international fame and her talent helped her to become the first Indian actress to work in Hollywood cinema. In 2008, she was included in the Forbes ranking; this was the first time that an Indian actress had appeared on the prestigious list. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan became world-renowned and was also the first Bollywood celebrity to appear on the David Letterman Late Show and to be acknowledged by Oprah Winfrey. On top of her accomplishments, in 2009, she was awarded the Padma Shri, the highest national distinction awarded by India in the areas of arts and culture. In November 2012 in Bombay, France awarded her the Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters.
Though blessed by her talents, this young woman hasn’t forgotten those who are suffering. In 2004, she created a charitable foundation in her own name in order to devote herself to the poorest people in her country. In 2012, she was named UNAIDS International Goodwill Ambassador by the United Nations, and Smile Train Goodwill Ambassador.
In the spring of 2007, Aishwarya united her destiny to Bollywood’s greatest family, marrying actor Abhishek Bachchan, the son of legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan and famous actress Jaya Bachchan. From this union, Aaradhya was born in 2011.
More recently, Aishwarya stepped into the role of a famous lawyer for the film “Jazbaa”, directed by Sanjay Gupta and released on October 9, 2015.
