Prahlad
Kakkar,
who
shot
Aishwarya
Rai's
first
Pepsi
ad
once
said
about
Aishwarya,
"I
recall
the
initial
days
of
Aishwarya
Rai's
career
when
she
came
for
an
audition.
Simply
dressed
in
a
kurta
and
jeans
she
stood
amongst
many
girls
without
creating
even
a
whimper.
But
once
the
camera
rolled
she
let
her
hair
loose
and
man...
that
woman
was
magic!
So
it
is
that
special
thing
in
you
that
counts."
Talking
about
Aishwarya's
popularuty
Shahrukh
Khan
had
said-
" I
feel
very
proud
of
the
fact
that
when
you
go
to
London,
France,
Germany,
the
only
two
Indian
names
people
recognise
are
Aishwarya
Rai
and
Amitabh
Bachchan.
Amitabh
Bachchan
has
been
there
for
so
many
years
and
he's
wonderful.
But
Aishwarya
Rai
is
our
contemporary,
younger
than
many
of
us.
She's
perhaps
done
less
work
than
me
and
to
still
be
the
international
face
of
Indian
cinema
is
great."

of
stunningly
