Aishwarya Rai who was 28 years when she won the Miss World crown is today a well-established and very successful actress in Bollywood. She has been in the industry for many decades now, and has gotten herself National and International glory.
Recently, Pinkvilla.com took to a memorable flashback story and traced the vintage meet-up of Aishwarya Rai with Nelson Mandela soon after being crowned in South Africa. We take reference from that story for our write up here.
Pinkvilla travels back to 1994, when a then 21-year-old Aishwarya Rai Bachchan met Nelson Mandela during the Miss World pageant…
Representing India during Miss World 1994, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was a hot favourite to win amongst the other contestants from across the globe. The prestigious beauty pageant had taken place in Sun City, South Africa. During an event, Aish met Nelson Mandela, the late President of South Africa and famed anti-apartheid activist. We got our hands on a heartwarming photo of the two personalities meet, with Rai flashing her pearly white teeth while shaking hands with Mandela. Aishwarya looked classy beyond belief in a purple blazer paired with a black long skirt and huge silver earrings. With minimal makeup given a pop of colour using pink lipstick, Rai’s formal attire was made perfect with her hair tied in a neat bun.
Time has passed fast!! But Aishwarya Rai and her glowing beauty remain the same!!
