Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the eternal “queen” of Bollywood, continues to fascinate audiences with her unparalleled acting talent, radiant beauty and grace. Be it her flawless performance or her effortless elegance, she has cemented her place as one of the world’s most loved and respected icons. Over the years, Aishwarya has earned immense love and admiration not only for her acting but also for the legacy she has built in the film world.
One of Aishwarya’s most iconic performances came in the 2008 epic ‘Jodhaa Akbar” where she portrayed the regal “Jodhaa Bai”. Her stunning royal looks, especially the unforgettable red lehenga designed by Nita Lulla, continue to remain in the hearts of her fans. Recently, this iconic outfit received international recognition as it was selected to participate in the Museum of the Academy“Color in Motion” exhibition. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) even gave Aishwarya special praise on its official Instagram page, showcasing her clips from the film, further cementing her global appeal.
Aishwarya’s portrayal of Jodhaa Bai was the perfect blend of grace and strength, bringing the character to life as only she could. Aishwarya and Hrithik Roshan’s costumes fused Rajasthani and Mughal elements, making them a visual masterpiece. The jewelry alone was a true marvel—reportedly made of 400 kilograms of real gold and studded with precious stones. These exquisite pieces took two years to create and 70 skilled craftsmen worked tirelessly to bring them to life.
Aishwarya herself wore a staggering 200 kilograms of jewelery while shooting the film, and the pieces were so precious that 50 security guards guarded them on the sets. The attention to detail and craftsmanship of these jewels really accentuated the majesty of the film’s visuals.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s iconic legacy with her ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ look, now part of the Academy Museum’s prestigious exhibition, continues to shine brightly on the global stage.
