The Beauty queen was now a Brand. Aishwarya has this mesmeric appeal. And when one saw the Pepsi commercial featuring her and saying that line- Hi! Iam Sanjana, it was beginning of phenomenal journey. A star had arrived in style and there was no looking back.

However, Aishwarya’s Bollywood sojourn despite the hype surrounding her entry was not that successful that would make her the numero uno heroine. But nevertheless she had made her presence felt in some Blockbuster movies and her performances in all of them earned her accolades and awards . Films like Hum Dil De chuke Sanam (1999 opposite Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn), Devdas ( 2002) opposite superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit. Mohabbatein opposite Shah Rukh Khan ( 2002).

Aishwarya had done three films with superstar Hrithik Roshan Dhoom 2 (2006) Jodha Akbar (2008) and Guzaarish (2010). And her pairing with Hrithik was widely appreciated as both were good looking. In Dhoom 2 she had the nation swooning all over with her fast paced racy number crazy kiya re. It presented her at her most stylish and sexy avatar.

Unfortunately the Hrithik – Ash pair did not sizzle again as she took a sabbatical and got married to Abhishek Bachchan ( briefly dated Salman Khan , Vivek Oberoi ) and soon became the daughter in-law of the iconic and one and only Amitabh Bachchan. She was unfazed by not becoming number one, but still had her passion and liking for cinema. So films in Bollywood remained on her agenda.
