When
Sathya
Saran
Met
Aishwarya
Rai
For
The
First
Time
Recalling
her
first
meet
with
the
Devdas
actress,
Saran
told
Rediff,
"When
I
first
saw
Aishwarya,
she
was
like
any
other
human
being.
The
only
thing
that
set
her
apart
was
a
certain
presence,
which
I
think
was
due
to
her
modelling
experience
(she
had
done
a
Pepsi
ad
and
some
other
shoots
before).
She
was
well
groomed,
came
from
a
good
home
and
had
a
pleasant
personality."
Other
Contestants
Were
Scared
Of
Aishwarya
According
to
Saran's
old
interview,
when
Aishwarya
joined
the
beauty
pageant,
many
contestants
dropped
out
of
the
contest.
"When
she
decided
to
join
the
beauty
pageant,
other
contestants
got
very
scared
and
we
had
people
dropping
out
of
the
contest," had
averred
Saran.
Aishwarya
Didn't
Have
To
Work
Hard
For
The
Beauty
Pageant
In
her
old
interview,
Saran
had
also
said
that
even
though
Miss
India
contestants
had
to
prepare
hard
for
the
crown,
she
didn't
feel
that
Aishwarya
had
to
work
that
hard
on
herself.
Saran
felt
so
because
Aishwarya
was
naturally
very
slim,
and
she
only
needed
to
tone
her
body.
However,
Saran
also
mentioned
that
she
had
to
persuade
Aishwarya
to
tone
her
body
for
the
beauty
pageant.
Aishwarya's
Grand
Achievement
Aishwarya
was
the
title
holder
of
Miss
World
1994.
She
was
just
21
when
she
made
the
entire
nation
proud
of
herself.
Soon
after
winning
the
beauty
pageant,
Aishwarya
made
her
Bollywood
debut
in
1997
opposite
Bobby
Deol
with
Aur
Pyaar
Ho
Gaya.
In
the
last
two
decades,
Aishwarya
has
given
many
memorable
films
to
us
including
Hum
Dil
De
Chuke
Sanam,
Devdas
and
many
others.
Apart
from
featuring
in
Bollywood
films,
Aishwarya
also
appeared
in
Hollywood
and
regional
films.
With
her
popularity,
the
actress
leaves
no
stone
unturned
to
put
India
on
the
global
map.
