The only difference is in a marriage, you get to sleep with the enemy…" Another fan asked, 'Paresh Ji Hume gussa aa raha hai. Aap Humare sawaal ka jawab nahi de rahe hain ??? — Joke sunao tumhare kisi natak ka???" The actor responded, 'Getting married is like going to a restaurant.. You order something, and when you get the food, you prefer the dish the other guy ordered…" Paresh Rawal and Swaroop Sampat's paths first crossed in 1975 during a college play.

Before the red carpets, before the Cannes appearances, and before the world came to know her name—this woman had already made a bold choice that set her apart from the rest. We're talking about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan , a name that echoes far beyond the confines of Indian cinema. Known globally as the most beautiful woman in the world, Aishwarya is more than just a pretty face. Her elegance, confidence, and steely determination helped her navigate an industry notorious for its obsession with power, privilege, and lineage. But few know the story behind her stardom.
