Actress Aishwarya Rai's journey into films has been incredible. From winning the Miss World title in 1994 to recently being honoured with the Padma Shree award. She has come a long way. On the occasion of her birthday on November 1, in an interview with CNN-IBN's Entertainment Editor Rajeev Masand, Aishwarya answers her fans' questions, which they have sent in through IBNLive.com and Twitter.
Rajeev Masand: If you could invite three people to your home for dinner who aren't alive. Who would they be?
Aishwarya Rai: I would want to invite more that three over for dinner. Firstly, my maternal and paternal grandparents because I never had the chance to meet them. I would love to meet my parents' parents and have a conversation with them to get to know them better.
And on this side, dada ji and dadi ma because they are just so spirited. I hear so much about them. They are very present amongst us as a family. So I would have loved to get to know them. Get an incredible cultural insight and that would personally mean a lot to me.
Rajeev Masand: You are regarded as the most beautiful woman in the world. Has anyone told you you are not beautiful?
Aishwarya Rai: Well, I've had my days when a section of media has given me a badgering for not being able to pay attention to the apparent. I think we all ride the wave and go through the turf. But I just want to thank everybody in all humility for all the compliments. I'm only human and words do feel good so thank you.
Rajeev Masand: If you had the power to turn any one of your flop films into a success, which one would you choose?
Aishwarya Rai: Yes, I have had my fair share of flops. Actually I would choose my first one Iruvar, it was not commercially a huge success but definitely a movie that was way ahead of its time. I saw it recently again when I was filming with Mani (Mani Ratnam who also directed Iruvar). And when Abhishek and I saw it again we thought it was a brilliant piece of cinema. So that is why I think that movie deserved a wider audience.
Rajeev Masand: If you are told you are not allowed to laugh or giggle at the world's funniest joke, would you be able to control yourself?
Aishwarya Rai: I've got this title of a 'giggler' because I’m a happy person. I love to laugh. I think its important to smile and laugh with life. Life as it is can be difficult, painful and exhausting. I see humour in strange things, sometimes at the tone of questions and at times because I have a flip answer going on in my mind but I'm answering it straight. So I actually laugh more at normal things in life than at a funny joke.
Rajeev Masand: When are we going to see you in a film with Shah Rukh Khan again?
