Aishwarya Rai was set to make her Bollywood debut with THIS blockbuster film, rejected it due too.., her first film then flopped, name was…
Aishwarya Rai was set to make her Bollywood debut with THIS blockbuster film, rejected it due too.., her first film then flopped, name was… Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, known globally as the most beautiful woman in the world, is far more than just a pretty face. Her elegance, confidence and aura is something that is unexplanatory. Before the world came to know who Aishwarya Rai is, she already made a bold choice that set her apart from the rest. Very few know the story behind her success. Surprisingly, Aishwarya didn't enter Bollywood with a blockbuster film. In fact, her debut film Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya, opposite Bobby Deol, tanked at box office. However, before making her debut, Aishwarya was already turning down films and not just any other film, but superhits. Once, in an interview with Vogue, she made a surprising revelation that left her admirers shocked. She said, 'If I hadn't taken part in Miss India, Raja Hindustani would have been my first film.' Yes, Aishwarya already had multiple offers in her kitty even before she became Miss World in 1944. But she had different plans. Well, this wasn't the only blockbuster she said no to while starting off. She was offered Kuch Kuch Hota Hai too, the character of Tina. However, there was a certain image about the role that didn't settle right with her, and she walked away. However, despite turning down some iconic films, Aishwarya continued to thrive and made an undeniable mark with her work in the industry. In 2007, she stunned the world, but this time not with a film, but with her wedding. She got married to Abhishek Bachchan in a grand ceremony, and in 2011, became mother to her little angel Aaradhya Bachchan.
