I don't get why people always discuss box office, yes she didn't had a great run of that. That is because of the movies she choose. And figthts she had with everyone in Bollywood. She lost 6 hits movies. How is everyone forgetting that. You cannot deny she was popular and had star quality, if she did more masala movies like Dhoom 2 and do more item songs where she just for glamour and dancing yeah she would have more hits. I think Dhoom 2 and Endhiran are her only masala movies. She couldn't work with the Khans after 2002, her career was almost lost back then. There weren't many other hit actors to work with back then. Pretty sure she was banned of out the industry after the Salman debacle. Who knows what happen. Luckily for her she still could work in some international movies and some art house movies and still got her endorsements. And which great hit banners did she work in her career , almost non...I still wonder why she only worked in one Yashraj movie that is really less for leading lady Mohabbin don't count, was special appearence. Did she ever work with Yohars, or Roshans as banner... These are the banners that give hits.

She might be fake, however no one ca deny that has represented India in a well way. Proud of her!

She enter Bollywood when she 25 or 26 years in 1999. I think pretty late for leading lady. And got her first filmfare award only after year in acting for Hum dil chuke se Sanam and got appreciated for Taal.And she did really less movies in her career.

Dhoom 2 did bring her back on top in Bollywood and she left the international movies. But still not the big banners or the Khans.

Despite all this she did have great career and work with great directors. Mine personal opinion she could have done so much more in her career if she was more smart. I mean smart not to fight with the Khans.

I kinda wished she did do the movies with SRK instead of Rani or Preity. I really liked Aishwarya and SRK jodi. I was a big fan of Salman and Aishwarya too.Aishwarya never even got to work with Aamir in a movie as leady lady. I feel she had a great career but in between so much drama also. But see your point what would Aishwarya gained in these movies. At least she should have done Veer Zaara, still sad she didn't. As for PR lol every star has a PR keeping them in news not only Aishwarya.

Ash was there in those global lists due to her achievements as a beauty and model. Plus hype. You think she had some great achievements in cinema that she was placed in such lists over greats like Amitabh and SRK who had far more actual influence than her?

What critical acclaim? Rani, Preity, Karishma, Raveena,PC, Kareena, Urmila have had critically acclaimed films too. If Ash came close to winning a National Award, so did Rani for Black (which is remembered by everyone till date).

Why shouldn't box office be discussed when the topic is about movies or reign? What reign she had in movies? How does comeback matter of a person whose movies rarely attracted audience any way?

The handful of films which she carried on her shoulders, same and more number of films are there for other actresses who had less than half hype as her.

And what double standards are these? Rani, Preity films are Khan films. While presence of Salman Khan is ignored in HDDCS and it's said to ride on her shoulders? Salman had golden run in 1999 and the supporting actor Ajay was also fresh from successes like Pyar Toh Hona Hi Tha in previous year, plus added credibility with National Award for best actor.

Okay she fought with 3 Khans. Why didn't she give hits with Vivek, Saif, Bobby the way Rani and Preity managed to?

Aishwarya did not make debut in 1999. Her debut was Aur Pyar Ho Gaya in 1997. PR - everyone does it but no one does it as much as Aishwarya did. Roger Ebert had called Deepika Padukone ravishing. But media didn't go berserk making headlines out of it. Whereas his 3 lines for Aishwarya's beauty were splashed across whole media in print, TV and online. Hollywood stars have praised Aamir, SRK, Hrithik, Om Puri also. Yet those stars don't milk it to the hilt. While Aishwarya ensured all those praises were reported everywhere to make it look how huge she was internationally. 4 years ago, Richard Branson had called PC a goddess. PC hasn't gone milking it or used that to prove what a globally appealing beauty/star she is.

Those rejecting marriage proposals from richest tycoons was the limit as well. Funny why she'd reject those much bigger, richer, better educated, achiever men and ultimately choose only Abhishek (if all her PR stuff is true).

There was always aura around her due to her looks. She's used her PR to foster that aura further.

Odd how Johar and others didn't offer her films...or wait! Maybe she rejected them as she was busy in Hollywood. 😃

As this media hyped beauty queen and iconic Bachchan bahu she's always there. She doesn't need a comeback. For several Indians, she's been the L'Oreal woman only for years now.

Skepblun 😆so her PR made her famous!! I just don't agree with you. I feel her PR sucks have said that before. If she had amazing PR like you said they would told not to figth with the Khans and changed her attitude be more open about a lot of things. As for international things I don't see it like that. From I recall Aishwarya was bashed a lot in media even in the industry, because she went abroad. When the industry themself banned her at least a large group. Her PR only did damage control even in that they failed I feel. Aishwarya only did some international movies because she had no work in Bollywood she lost 6 movies and was banned. Watch the Simi interview you will see it. Simi adressed this to Aishwarya.

I always said in terms of no. 1 2 3 4 5

Ash's bollywood career would be not that good compared to lots of other heroines. But she did have the overseas impact .

Also Salman was praised by Richard Gere for his charity just little knowledge for you guys

Its always a discussion on Ash's hits and flops but the fact is hits and flops ratio never made any difference to her career or fame.After so many hits, Mohabaatein, HDDCS, Taal, Josh, HDAPH and KK, people will expect lot from you, how do you plan to keep up the good work?
I take everyday as it comes, I don't plan out anything. Performance and growth, with experience, are what I've always been trying to focus on. Audiences react to artistes because they see us in films that are released one after the other. In fact, our movies are made almost simultaneously. We grow during the making of a film, from day to day. What one sees as an overall good performance is a cumulative effort of all the talents that come together in the making of a film.
