Aishwarya started way back when she was crowned Miss World and later featured in Mani Ratnam film. The film, her proper debut completes 20 glorious years today and Aish has gone way ahead of that! She’s made her mark not only in Bolloywood, but is also a popular name in the Hollywood.
She dazzles like an angel at the Cannes red carpet every year.
Femina paid tribute to two decades of Aish’s film and career in the industry. Several stars including close friends like Karan Johar, expressed their love and regard for the actress. However, the best is always reserved for the last.
The enthralling diva, the ageless beauty Rekhaji wrote a letter to Aish congratulating her and expressing her love for the actress.
The letter read as follows –
My Ash,
A woman like you who is in harmony with her spirit is like a flowing river, never stagnant. She goes where she wants to without pretence; and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself. People may forget what you said, they may also forget what you did but they will never forget how you made them feel. You are a living example that courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently! Your deep strength and pure energy introduces you even before you speak!
The worst thing you did was to be present with the ‘present’ with gratitude. You pursued the things you loved doing; and then did them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you! You on your own are enough with nothing to prove to anyone. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.
You’ve come a long way, baby. Having endured many hurdles, like the phoenix you rise! And I cannot pen down in words how proud I am of that little ‘cool’ moon-faced girl who took my breath away the very instant I first laid my eyes on her. You always gave better than the best to all the roles you were bestowed with but my most cherished character of yours is the role of the complete ‘Amma’ that you are, to the little bundle of pure joy called Aaradhya.
Keep loving and spreading your magic. Two decades of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan- wow!
Aashirwads and duas I wish for you more goodness and blessings; much more than your heart can contain!
Love you. Jeete raho. Rekha Maa
