In the vibrant world of Bollywood, few names shine as brightly as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The actress, who turns 52 on 1 November, 2025, has been a household name for over two decades and continues to captivate audiences with her performances.
Born in 1973, Aishwarya Rai began her journey in the entertainment industry with the Tamil film, Iruvar, in 1997. Her career took a significant leap with her second film, Jeans, in 1998, which was a high-profile Tamil film and was submitted as India's official entry to the Academy Awards.
Aishwarya Rai's journey from a ramp model to Miss World (1994) to an iconic actress has been nothing short of thrilling. She has worked in Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, and predominantly Hindi films, delivering hit after hit. Some of her biggest hits include Devdas, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Jodha Akbar, Jazba, Dhoom 2, Guzarish, Guru, and many more.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is not only a successful actress but also a global icon. Her wealth, primarily from her performances in major blockbusters in both Bollywood and South Indian cinema, is estimated to be Rs 900 crore, making her the second richest actress in India.
Despite her success, Aishwarya Rai has been selective with her roles, turning down high-profile projects such as Mr and Mrs Smith opposite Brad Pitt and Hancock with Will Smith due to kissing and intimate scenes.
Aishwarya Rai charges Rs 10 crore for every film and Rs 6-7 crore for brand endorsements. Her last Tamil film was Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan: II in 2023, and her last Hindi release was Fanney Khan in 2018.
Abhishek Bachchan, her husband, is also a prominent figure in Bollywood. He completed 25 years in the industry in 2025, with his first film being Refugee, released in 2000, alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan.
As Aishwarya Rai Bachchan approaches her 53rd birthday, her beauty and talent continue to be celebrated. She remains one of the most beautiful actresses in the industry and is still active, having completed 28 years in Hindi cinema.
