After winning the title of Miss World in 1994, the host of the event, Richard Steinmetz, actually asked Aishwarya out. But being a professional, she refused right away. She did her first commercial for Camlin pencils when she was in the 9th grade. She was the Coca Cola girl for the Middle East and South Asia. Her Pepsi ad with Aamir Khan was shot in one night during the infamous Bombay riots. The first movie star she ever met was Rekha. Aishwarya was still in high school at the time and was a model. Rekha recognized Aishwarya from her modeling ads. She complimented the young Aishwarya on her good looks and wished her all the best.
She has appeared on more magazine covers worldwide than any other Bollywood or Indian star. She is the first Indian actress to be on the jury of the Cannes International Film Festival. She has been in six movies with Abhishek Bachchan, more than with any other actor.
