Jewel
in the Crown
In 2003, Rai became the first Indian actor to be a member of the jury
at the Cannes Film Festival. She recently completed filming "Bride
and Prejudice", a re-working of the Jane Austin classic, directed
by Gurinder Chadha ("Bend It Like Beckham"). She is set to
star in "Chaos" opposite Meryl Streep for French Director
Coline Serreau, Roland Joffe's "Singularity" and Barton
Randall's "I Know a Place" and will end the year with "Mistress
of Spices" once again with Director Gurinder Chadha.
Aishwarya Rai - an original, who is treading very well in her
transition from beauty queen to screen queen, moving beyond the
flashlights into the limelight.
