Aishwarya Rai: The Highest Paid Actress in Bollywood?

Beauty is a rare commodity, sought after by those with the most power within the most influential industries, in this case the Indian Film industry…

It’s no secret that some of the most beautiful women in the world hail from India, Aishwarya Rai (Miss World 1994), Sushmita Sen (Miss Universe 1994), Diana Hayden (Miss World 1997), Yukta Mookhey (Miss World 1999), Priyanka Chopra (Miss World 2000), Lara Dutta (Miss Universe 2000)… need I go on??

Life has been tested and proven to be easier for those that are better looking. Not only do these aphrodite’s have a more, so called wonderful life, but they can make our own lives a little sweeter. If a great looking woman smiles at you on a train on your way to work, you think “awww… she’s nice”, and that could make your day. However, have you ever have a woman who looks like she’s been slapped with an ugly stick smile at you? You may instantly think “oh good god when’s my next stop?”… and something like that could ruin your day.

One of India’s first and finest exports, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is now one of India’s highest paid beauties, why, well it’s not because her acting skills are mind blowing (she just about hits “ok”), maybe it’s because she is the pure definition of beauty. She is rumoured to be receiving almost £1.5m (40 million R.s/$3m) for one film - her proposed stint as Rajnikant’s leading lady in Shankar’s “Robot”. One and a half million may not scare Julia Roberts into feeling threatened from her title as highest paid female Actress in Hollywood: she asks for £10m/$20m per film, that is 260 million R.s. However this is another new record breaking booty shaking moment, for the global beauty icon, that is Rai.

Now if getting paid for being beautiful is on the rise, then two competing women are fighting for that slice of Indian bread, Bipasha Basu and Kareena Kapoor. All three can be categorised as the same type of actress: all three equally as beautiful, all three completing the same number of movies, and all three being more delicious than a Häagen-Dazs Strawberry Cheesecake and Cookies & Cream spread over freshly baked hot waffles with strawberry and cherry syrup!

Even though Kareena and Bipasha came into the industry a few years after Aishwarya, and neither hold any crowns to their name; they are all now competing for the top “crore”. These two have been dominating the screens with more persistence than a door to door window salesman.

It is rumoured that Kareena is billing 3.5m crore (35m rupees), but then there’s Bipasha who’s nipping at Kareena’s heals earning an estimated 2-3m crore (20-30m rupees) per movie, there is a lot of competition and a massive rise of gorgeous actresses following in the foot steps of the original beauty icon, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

But when you’re one of the most beautiful women in the world, married to an idol (who is the son of a legend), have a Miss World beauty pageant crown sitting on your head, have a decade of movie experience with almost 40 hit films under your belt, not to mention blazing past your competitors with how much money you can command on set and off set, you can guarantee that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s beauty comes without any beasts.
