Survey reveals: Aishwarya Rai still looking beautiful

According to a recent survey conducted by celebrity lifestyle magazine 'G', Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai continues to look beautiful.

"She used to look stunningly beautiful when I first caught a glimpse of her in the Pepsi commercial," Indore-based fllm critic Rahul Pandey said. "After all these years and after looking at thousands of stunningly beautiful women, she is still looking stunningly beautiful"

Movie buff Ajay Srivastav, coming out of the multiplex showing her latest bollywood blockbuster 'Jodha Akbar' couldn't stop raving about her beauty. "Ms Rai looks beautiful in whatever role is assigned to her. She looked beautiful as Gurubhai's wife in 'Guru' and she continues to look beautiful as Akbar's wife in Jodha Akbar"

"I wish I looked one tenth as beautiful as she's looking," Ajay's wife added.

Aishwarya Rai, whose beautiful eyes and ravishing looks have captivated millions of Indians, across all categories of race, religion, class and gender, has for the past 15 years attained the highest possible scores in every known measure of physical attractiveness.

A recent poll conducted by Filmfare magazine revealed that 25 percent of respondents described Ms Rai looking "stunning," 15 percent found her looking "gorgeous" and 5 percent found her looking "ravishing", yet poised and intelligent, as one would expect a former Miss World to look."

"When you think of Aishwarya Rai, the first thing you think is 'beautiful'" said Bhavna Somani, editor of Stardust magazine. "The second thing you think is 'stunningly beautiful' and the third thing is 'beautiful beyond words'

Ad film-maker Prahlad Kakkar when asked about Ms Rai's beauty, said "I find Ms Rai the epitome of beauty. In my line of work, I'm surrounded by stunningly beautiful ladies all the time, yet I've to say that every time I look at Aishwarya I get startled by her beauty and wonder how she manages to look more beautiful than the best of beauties I work with"

Almost everyone who was contacted for the survey were unanimous in their opinion that Ms Rai's was the most beautiful woman they have seen in last 15 years.

Given a chance, if they had to choose between looking at a thousand pictures and poses of Ms Rai or thousand snapshots of the rest of the most beautiful women of the planet, most of the surveyors opined that they would undoubtedly choose looking at thousand different snaps of Rai.

"Variety may be the spice of life; but when you are presented with perfection, you choose perfection" famous photographer Raghu Rajvanshya responded, "Ms Rai is a perfect beauty and I would prefer gazing at her perfect features a million times than looking at a million less-endowed, less-stunning beautiful women"

Ms Rai when contacted for her response to the survey initially declined to comment, but on persistence said with a giggle "I'm so grateful to my parents for giving me birth and passing on their beautiful genes to me"
