Actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently walked the red carpet at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival. Back home, an old video of her modeling days surfaced on the internet. The clip is showing her early career as a ramp model. The video, shared on Reddit, shows Aishwarya walking the ramp as a Pierre Cardin model at The Oberoi Hotel in New Delhi on May 3, 1994.
Aishwarya Rai’s Early Modeling Days
The video captures five models on the ramp, with Aishwarya positioned in the middle. She confidently and gracefully walks the ramp in the 38-second clip. The event took place just months before she won the Miss World title in November 1994. Viewers praised her natural beauty and the elegance of the models, contrasting it with today’s trends. Comments included admiration for the authentic looks of the models, with one user nostalgically asking, “When can we get this kind of beauty back?”
Transition from Modeling to Acting
Aishwarya began modeling during her college days, appearing in various television commercials long before entering beauty pageants. After being crowned Miss World, she made her acting debut in Mani Ratnam’s 1997 Tamil film ‘Iruvar’. This was followed by her Bollywood debut in the same year with ‘Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya’. Her transition from modeling to acting marked the beginning of a successful career in the film industry.
Cannes Red Carpet Appearance
At the Cannes Film Festival, Aishwarya walked the red carpet for the premiere of Francis Ford Coppola’s film ‘Megalopolis’. Despite having her right arm in a cast, she stunned in a black and white outfit with gold detailing. The diva’s outfit was designed by Falguni Shane Peacock for the 74th Cannes. Her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, accompanied her, helping manage her outfit.
Aishwarya’s continued presence at Cannes and her timeless charm from her early modelling days to her current stature as a global icon highlight her enduring influence in the world of entertainment. Fans eagerly anticipate more appearances and performances from the beloved actress.
