The OG diva of Bollywood, Aishwarya Rai, is the most beautiful woman in the world. The perfect example of beauty with brains, she was the second Indian to bag the crown of Miss World. Despite being such a successful actress, she is one of the most humble actresses in Indian cinema.
An epitome of beauty and grace, Aishwarya never fails to amaze her fans. Be it her inspiring fashion picks or her unfiltered opinions on various topics, Aishwarya’s intelligence has always stood out. It was in 1997 when Aishwarya Rai made her acting debut with Mani Ratnam’s film, Iruvar. Her Bollywood debut was opposite Bobby Deol in Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya.
Since then, there has been no looking back for the gorgeous actress. Aishwarya has won many accolades for her effortless acting. However, it was her appearance at the Filmfare Awards in 2000 that left her fans worried. In 2000, Aishwarya received the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for the film, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
The actress went on to the stage to collect her award from actress, Sridevi. However, Aishwarya’s appearance shocked many. With a bruised eye and fractured arm, Aishwarya was dressed in casual clothes. Though she wore coloured glasses to hide the bruise, it was clearly visible. Her arm was also in a soft cast.
As Aishwarya collects her award, the actress thanks her parents and audience. Aishwarya also thanked her co-star, Salman and other crew members of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. As she winds up her acceptance speech, the actress also talks about her injury and said:
“I had a bit of a fall, an accident a week ago. I slipped and fell down from the staircase, right outside my house but I thank God and my parents that I didn’t have a big accident, no bones broken. To logo ne kaha ke aaj tum ye roop leke kyu jar ahi ho. But to that I would like to say, this is the one opportunity I get to thank my audience and this industry, because of whom I am here, on this stage.”

This is not the first time that Aishwarya Rai has fallen from the staircase and injured herself. During the 77th Cannes Film Festival, the actress was papped on the red carpet, but it was her plastered arm that caught much attention. According to a report in Mid-Day, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan reportedly had a bad fall at her Mumbai residence and fractured her wrist.

“Two days after her fall, she did her costume fittings with her designers, and only requested that they ensure that the venue was spacious and comfortable so that she could avoid another injury. The brand was thankful and appreciative that she met her share of the deal despite being in pain.”
Aishwarya Rai added Bachchan to her surname in 2007 and welcomed a baby girl in 2011. For the past many months, there have been constant speculations about the couple’s split. Various instances have added fuel to the fire, and the tension in the Bachchan clan is prevalent during many events. Even during Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding, the Bachchans came together with their son, daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. On the other hand, Aishwarya came moments later along with her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.
Amid the ongoing buzz, it was also speculated that Abhishek Bachchan is dating his Dasvi co-star, Nimrat Kaur. A close source from the Bachchan clan reacted to this buzz and revealed how the family is affected by all the rumours. As per the source:
“There is not an iota of truth to these rumours. We wonder why the lady (Kaur) has not issued a denial. Abhishek is keeping mum as there is already so much happening in his life at the moment. He has been advised to stay completely out of any controversy."
Well, what do you think about Aishwarya Rai’s take on her injury? Let us know.
