Did you know that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who is known universally for being a beauty queen, an exceptional actor, a loving wife, a doting mom and a great human being is also an amazing singer?
After winning the Miss World 1994 pageant, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made her acting debut in Mani Ratnam's 1997 Tamil film Iruvar and had her first Hindi film release with Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya the same year. Her first commercial success was the Tamil romantic drama Jeans in the year 1998 following which she achieved wider success. The film earned Rai praise for her acting and dancing skills. Jeans was later submitted as India's official entry to the Academy Awards for 1998.

Aishwarya has entertained the audience with some amazing films like Mohabbatein, Devdas, Guzaarish, Dhoom 2, Guru, Jazbaa, Fanney Khan and more.
Besides acting, Aishwarya is an amazing dancer and has proved her love for dance time and again. But did you know that Miss World is also a great singer? Recently, we came across a throwback video of Aish where the actress is flaunting her vocal skills. The video is from the year 1998. It is a chunk from an episode of Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, which was hosted by actor Farooq Sheikh. The host had asked the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil actress to sing a few lines when her Josh co-actor Chandrachur Singh told the audience that she has a hidden talent.
The actress starts singing a line from the famous track Meri Saanson Mein Basa Hai from her debut Hindi film Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya. But what caught our attention was Aishwarya giggling in the middle while singing. She did look nervous as she started off but then she left the audience to go in awe of her lovely voice. After watching the video, the first question that will pop up on your mind is that is there anything the actress isn’t great at?
