Happy birthday, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The actress turns 49 today. Is it just us or do you also think that she is ageing backwards? Aishwarya, often referred to as one of the most beautiful women in the world, has been ruling our hearts for decades. After being crowned Miss World in 1994, Aishwarya made her acting debut with Mani Ratnam's Tamil political drama Iruvar in 1997. The same year, Aishwarya stepped into the world of Bollywood with Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya. She has been a part of some of Bollywood's finest films including Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Guru and Devdas. Not just acting, Aishwarya has blessed us with amazing dance numbers. From Dola Re Dola to Kajra Re, let us take a look at some of her best songs.
