Aishwarya Rai

Nemesis of Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan’s ex (but now the Bachchan bahu) Aishwarya Rai stepped into her 38th year with her birthday on the 1st of November. And even as wishes poured in abundance right into her cell phone, there was no stopping Big B doing his own bid for his precious petite bahu.

Aishwarta Rai 001 Taking to his blog, he wished her happy birthday publicly posting, "It nears past midnight as we stroll out of the Hotel Taj and the wishes for Aishwarya start. Happy birthday daughter -in- law and may you achieve and get all that you so desire.”

And Aishwarya, despite her busy schedule, managed to lunch out with beau Abhishek who was looking utterly handsome in his tuxedo and bow tie. Aish, on her part, was looking resplendently ravishing in a pristine blue dress. The pic can be seen in Abhishek’s twitter account where he has posted it along with “There she is, as promised, the birthday girl.”

The pic shows Aish with mehendi on her hands and Abhishek holding her in a sidelong hug. Despite 3 years of marriage, their romance has seen no abatement but wherever they go, they continue to exude their undying love for each other.

With such a loving man by her side and two of her big films (Action Replayy and Guzaarish) slated for a bumper release, Aish couldn’t have been happier on her birthday.
