*Having learned Bharat Natyam, it is no surprise that Aishwarya's dances are a delight to watch. Be it Nimbooda, Dola re, Kajra re or Crazy kiya re, the Taal star is a true blue dancing queen.
* Considering her universal appeal, London's famed Madame Tussaud's wax museum decided to showcase a wax figure of the actress. Other super stars to enjoy this honour include Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and shortly enough, Salman Khan.
* In 2003, Aishwarya became the first Indian actress to become a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival. Even so, her appearance at the prestigious event was mired with controversy owing to her choice of outfits, designed by Neeta Lulla, which met with harsh criticism. A regular at Cannes now, Ash's first appearance at the festival was in 2002, where she joined filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and co-star Shah Rukh Khan to promote Devdas, which enjoyed an out-of-competition screening at Cannes' Grand Theatre Lumiere.
* Aishwarya floated a production company, Target Films, along with her brother, Aditya to make Dil Ka Rishta. Shot extensively in South Africa, the melodrama, featuring Arjun Rampal and conceptualised by mom Vrinda, flopped at the box office.
* Ash endorses brands like Longines, Coca Cola, Lux, Nakshatra and L'Oreal. Other than Aamir Khan, she is the only actress to model for both Pepsi and Coca Cola.
