Aishwarya Rai, the name conjures images of a 21 year old, slender, green eyed beauty being crowned miss world. That was about 20 years ago and still, at 40, Aishwarya Rai is considered the fourth most beautiful woman in the world according to a global poll ‘Top 30’ Most Beautiful Women in the world after Italian actress Monica Belluci, American model-actress Kate Upton and Hollywood star Angelina Jolie.
