In 1994, she competed against Sushmita Sen for Miss Universe title. While Sushmita took home the crown, Aishwarya became the first runner-up. The ‘Mohabattein’ actress then went on to represent India at Miss World 1994 and fetched the bejeweled crown.
She was known for her beautiful eyes since the beginning. The title 'blue-eyed girl' became Aishwarya’s identity after becoming Miss World in 1994. Her eyes speak volumes even today.

“I have done the bus and the train journeys and everything as a college kid. I know exactly what it gets like at Dadar station, I know what it is like in buses and I know how the rainy season is just not the easiest at all on public transport,” she told Rajeev Masand during an interaction.
