Aishwarya's rare childhood pictures

Baby Bachchan is on the way and sure to inherit some of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's gorgeous looks. So how did Aishwarya look as a child? Take a look.

A rare photograph of little Aishwarya seen with her elder brother, Aditya, who is in the Merchant Navy.

The siblings look adorable against the picturesque backdrop.

Aditya would one day go on to produce his sister's 2003 film, Dil Ka Rishta.

She is one of the best dancers Bollywood has ever produced, her skills on display in films like Taal, Devdas and even Dhoom.

This early photograph shows Ash has long-harboured a love for dancing.

It wasn't just by chance that she won the Miss Photogenic award at the 1994 Miss World pageant (which she also won).

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was simply made for the camera, something which is evident even in her childhood photographs.

A very rare photo of Aishwarya with her entire family (L-R: Brother Aditya Rai, father Krishnaraj and mother Vrinda) after being crowned Miss World '94.

It's clear she gets her gorgeous looks from her mother, Vrinda Rai, who almost steals the show from her adorable little toddler.

This is what Ash looked like in school.

Her ruffled, frizzy hair was a trademark of the 80's, as was her staid sari that she wore to a school function.

Even now, Ash is known for moving with the times, adapting to each era with a different look.
