Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Make-up: Ashok Rothod
Hair-styling: Satya, from Kromakay hair and beauty salon
Styling: Manish Malhotra

The focus of this picture is Aishwarya's face. Aishwarya is known for her soft, bright and happy pictures. So we wanted to try something different for her. We thought of a grungy, dark look with attitude.

You cannot go wrong with Aishwarya when you're shooting her. She knows her angles. She gets involved in whatever she does and gives inputs. She is very impromptu and natural.

This picture took three hours to shoot.
