Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Beautiful at 'Ravan' Press Ceremony

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan News; A surprise visit by Aishwarya Rai added high octane glamour to a press event Saturday evening to promote Mani Ratnam's upcoming film 'Raavan.'

She was not scheduled to be at the event at Cinemax, Versova, Mumbai because her travel plans were uncertain. She was in Paris earlier this week, where she wowed the world at large in a Elie Saab gown at a charity dinner organized by Longines, the international watch brand that she endorses.

Aishwarya's surprise appearance delighted silly her husband and Raavan co-star Abhishek Bachchan, leaving the 34-year-old grinning like a proud teenager on his first date for the rest of the evening.

Abhishek had spent the entire day plugging 'Raavan' on the streets of Mumbai with co-stars Ravi Kishen and Ajay Gehi.

Aishwarya was back to basics at the event in Versova, wearing black skinny jeans and red-and-black long sleeve top, with handkerchief hem and a string bow detail on the waist. She accessorized with black T strap heels, stud earrings, multiple bangles in both her arms and a metallic strap Longines (naturally) watch in her right arm.

Her shoulder length, medium brown colored hair draped her shoulders. She wore red lip gloss, thick black eyeliner and multiple coats of mascara.

Aishwarya looked completely relaxed by her husband's side, and ever so more beautiful because of it.

The 36-year-old talked to her fans about Raavan over the radio.

Aishwarya and Abhishek are headed to London for their film's premiere on June 16. The film is due for release on June 18.
