Aishwarya Rai

December 02, 2010, (Sawf News) - Aishwarya Rai lit up the evening with her megawatt smile and yellow churidar dress at Dr. Batra's Positive Health Awards at the NCPA in Nariman Point, Mumbai on Tuesday, November 30.

Aishwarya wore an embellished long sleeve kurta, matching churidar and dupatta.

Her reddish brown hair, styled in loose waves with a side asymmetrical parting, draped her left shoulder.

She wore angled eyeliner, bronze eye shadow and Cinnamon lipstick.

Aishwarya and husband Abhishek Bachchan were the chief guests at the event.

Abhishek looked dapper in black suit, black shirt and Grey silk tie.

The couple felicitated individuals who are leading a positive and purposeful life despite being afflicted with a serious disease or disability.

A cultural show by children entertained the guests.

Aishwarya and Abhishek were appreciative of Dr Batra's initiative.

"It celebrated the triumph of the human spirit the way I look at it and it celebrates life. We are very very thankful to be here this evening but at the end of the day we feel very very fulfilled, inspired and humbled and blessed," Aishwarya said after the event.

Both actors firmly told media that any talk about their careers was off limits at the event as they were not there to promote a film but just to spend an evening with the awardees and the performers of the evening and celebrate the cause.

Aishwarya said she and her husband like to keep their philanthropic efforts private as they do not do it for publicity.
