Make sure you put your phone on flight mode and turn off all notifications on your computer before going ahead to read this article. What you are going to experience now is 40 minutes of pure awesomeness, courtesy Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The gorgeous actress, who has kept us all captivated with her enchanting beauty since 1994 (crowned Miss India World), celebrates her 44th birthday today (1 November, 1973). Through the years, Aishwarya has regaled us on the big screen, given us some awe-inspiring fashion goals and aww-inspiring relationship goals as well.

With her breathtaking beauty, the actress has always managed to have our attention even when not active in movies. She is one of the first actresses of our generation to take India to the global red carpet and shine like an illuminating star each time, to get noticed for all the right reasons and pave way for more actresses to follow. But it is not just her gorgeousness or her impeccable fashion sense that we are going to talk about. She gets written about for that a lot!

What we are going to talk about is her knack for transforming herself on the big screen and introducing us to her various avatars. From playing plain Jane to turning herself into a gorgeous diva, from playing the simple girl next door to donning the garb of a sexy svelte beauty – Aishwarya has done it all effortlessly. On her birthday today, here’s taking a look at the different shades of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the actress, through seven songs where she danced her way straight into our hearts.

Bulleya from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016)

We have to start with this one. Not only since it is the most recent but also because we saw Aishwarya in her seductress avatar like never before. She played the part of an older woman, attracted to a younger man. She looked and acted every bit of an enchanter that Ranbir Kapoor’s character couldn’t refuse or ignore. The scene where the two are at a cafe and licking cream off each other or the one where they both retreat to a corner to make some passionate love will definitely give you the feels.

Barso Re Megha from Guru (2007)

She looked nothing like her diva self in this song from Guru and yet Aishwarya looked endearing with her character that has a zest for life. She danced with elation celebrating the first showers, making us want to get up from our seat and swing as well. One of the most beautifully filmed rain songs, Barso Re Megha is nothing less than a visual treat with Ash’s ‘dance like no one’s watching’ performance.

Kajra Re from Bunty Aur Babli (2005)

Did we ever imagine her do this? With Kajra Re, Ash took sexiness to a whole new level. Right from her look to her moves to the expression in her eyes,  the actress gave us one of the best mujra songs that there is in Hindi cinema. Seductive to the core, with this number, Ash converted a lot of her non fans.

Nimbooda Nimbooda from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999)

When Ash is performing, you know that it is not just work for her but also something she has a lot of fun doing. Nimbooda Nimbooda is one such number where we can see her having a gala time while keeping us mesmerized with her perfect, high on energy act.

Udi Teri Aankhon Se from Guzaarish (2010)

Looking like a Spanish beauty, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan takes on the dance floor like a pro in this one. It will be difficult to take your eyes off her or not to fall in love with her. But before she starts grooving right into her hearts in the song, there is a brief moment where she does air drumming. If you ever had doubts about her acting skills, this one is for you.

Crazy Kiya Re from Dhoom 2 (2006)

That gorgeous tan, that perfect body and an apt number – Ash did make us all go crazy when she danced to Crazy Kiya Re. The actress has a strong screen presence and that she is a great performer adds so much value to her every act. With ‘Surilee’ in the film, Ash once again introduced us to a never seen before avatar.

Dola Re Dola from Devdas (2002)

Not everyone can match steps with the impeccable Madhuri Dixit, so all eyes were on this dance off in Devdas. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan didn’t disappoint us as she didn’t just match Madhuri’s steps but also her charm and on screen aura. This is one of the most breathtaking numbers starring two actresses in one frame. There couldn’t have been a better pair for Dola Re Dola.

Over the years, one film after the other, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has upped her game and yet all that she gets written about is how gorgeous she is. On her birthday today, here’s hoping that the actress, who is all set to star in Fanney Khan next year, gets equal accolades for reinventing herself with every film and being a great actress as well.
