RANKED: 5 Best Performances Of Aishwarya Rai
Updated : August 15, 2018 04:18 PM IST
Although Aishwarya Rai has been acting for nearly two decades, has been awarded the Padma Shri, acted in two films in 2016 alone, she is not really considered when we think of actors.
Th reasons for this are manifold. There is the fact that her "most beautiful woman in the world" title sometimes works against her. Add to this, her highly talked-about personal life and the fact that she is former "Miss World" and a current global ambassador.
The point of all is this that we sometimes ignore her acting as all the aforementioned things capture all the attention and her acting takes a backseat. And to correct that injustice, today we focus on her best acting roles
#5 Jodhaa Akbar
In this Ashutosh Gowariker's historical drama, the actress took up the role.of Jodhaa Bai and played it with uncommon grace and subtlety. The result was an affecting portrayal that is among the best works she has done so far.
#4 Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
Co-starring with Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn, the actress did her coming-of-the-age role justice. The actress emoted several kinds of emotions and did everything that she could have been asked to do by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
#3 Devdas
Another superlative film by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, another fine performance by Aishwarya Rai. The actresses, in addition to looking great and dancing incredibly, was suitably melodramatic. Of course, the credit of this goes to the director as well.
#2 Raincoat
One of the forgotten gems of Indian cinema, this Rituparno Ghosh film is bolstered by the strong performances by its two leads. While Ajay Devgn emotes his emotions with remarkable effectiveness, Aishwarya Rai's cynical and confident performance cannot be missed either.
#1 Provoked
Rarely the actress has carried a film on her shoulders as she did in this British film. Playing the complex role of abused wife who is driven to the point of killing her husband, she truly does a commendable job. What's even more remarkable, she did by becoming the opposite version of her Bollywood persona: unglamorous, raw and real.
Let's see what the actress does next!
