Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Looks Stunning On The March Cover of Vogue India

We Have More Pictures Of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan From Vogue's March Issue
Vogue India

Fringe or no fringe, India's stunning beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the most comfortable being a cover girl. She might not have stepped on a film set for a while, but she wants you to know that she's been right here.

For the cover shot of Vogue India's March issue, the 41-year-old actress has channelled the popular '70s hairstyle — the fringe — along with a Tommy Hilfiger fur jacket and a sheer black Saint Laurent blouse. The actress was styled by Anaita Shroff Adjania (Vogue India's fashion director) and photographed by Marc Hom.

In an excerpt from the cover story written by Kersi Khambatta, Aishwarya says, "Yes, there was a maternity leave, just like any other working woman. In fact, I was working right up to my sixth month, with my various product endorsements and other stuff. There were no movies, obviously."

“I wanted to be more than just a pretty face issuing PSAs; I wanted to be hands-on. And now, 12 years later, this seemed like the perfect time," she adds.

Check out some images from the shoot, including some that haven't been published before.
