Actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan celebrates her Birthday today. Born on November 1, 1973, the actress turned 47 today. Over the years, Aishwarya has won hearts and managed to carve her niche in the industry. A winner of the Miss World 1994 pageant, the actress established herself as one of the most popular and influential celebrities in India, through her stellar performances in the movies. On her special day, here are 9 unknown facts about the actress that you surely weren’t aware of. Read on to find out!
Many do not know that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan fell in love with her husband Abhishek Bachchan during the shooting of filmmaker J P Dutta’s Umrao Jaan. They would be missing from the sets for hours driving the finicky Dutta up the nearest papier-mâché wall. On the work front, the second unknown fact is that Aishwarya's in-laws have no interest or say in her career decisions. She doesn't discuss the films she signs with them. Everyone in the family gets space to take professional decisions without dinner table conferences.
The third unknown fact is- Aishwarya is an able singer. She has a great singing voice and she loves to sing for those close to her. Those privileged to hear her sing include husband Abhishek and daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. Many are not aware that Aishwarya loves collecting knickknacks from all over the world. Another unknown fact is that whenever wherever Aishwarya travels, she buys little souvenirs and her home Jalsa is strewn with souvenirs purchased by the family’s Bahu.
Another unknown fact about Aishwarya is that while doting on daughter Aaradhya and refusing to let her out of sight, the actress is also the disciplinarian in the family. While hubby Abhishek, sasumaa Jaya and sasurji Amitabh Bachchan spoil Aaradhya silly, mom Aishwarya knows where to draw the line. The little girl is not allowed to buy everything. Another unknown fact about the actress is that her next film is directed by her second-favourite director Mani Ratnam where she plays a negative role, not for the first time. She was the villain in Raj Santoshi's Khakhi.
Did you know that Aishwarya will get together with her favourite director Sanjay Leela Bhansali as soon as he completes shooting his current film with Alia Bhatt? Other than that, long before Kangana Ranaut, Aishwarya played the role of Jayalalitha in Mani Ratnam's Iruvar. It's her only bio-pic to date. Aishwarya now wants to play her mother-in-law, Jaya Bachchan. The last unknown fact about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is that she is most closely bonded with three directors, and they are Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Mani Ratnam and the late Rituparno Ghosh, in that order.
