Aishwarya Rai - FACTS on her Bollywood career

Updated on Sep 17, 2011  |  07:16 PM IST |  3.3M

I keep reading how other actresses namely Kareena, Katrina and even Priyanka only taste success due to the male co stars. How these women never really contribute to a film success blah blah and blah. Then these same people say the woman who is an exception to the rule is Aishwarya Rai. This article is CLEAR evidence that such opinions are FALSE. This article only focuses on her Hindi films and I will post some time next week on her non Hindi films.

NOTE: special appearances are excluded and all info is from Box Office India.

She has won 3 Filmfare awards and incidentally all are in SLB films.

So she has 4 HITS and 3 of them are with big stars the fourth one being with her husband. All her other films with the lesser actors have not even reached avg status. They have either been below avg fares or outright flops. I do hope now everyone judges each actress in the same way. A film is never complete without the heroine so it truly baffles me how people overlook the massive success of Bebo and Katrina at this present moment.

The main purpose of this article was to dismiss those claims that ash has never piggy backed on the bigger stars LOL she has only achieved most of her success with the bigger stars :D Like I said four clean hits spanning over 13-14 years is pretty abysmal.

If anyone wishes to abuse plz do it in the thread. Don't behave like a coward and send private messages under the most stupid ids.
