For most leading ladies in tinsel town, their career takes a downfall after they touch 30. But certainly not in the case of Aishwarya Rai, who continues to flourish in Bollywood as she turns 37 tomorrow and has two mega projects --Action Replayy and Guzaarish -- lined up for release.

The former beauty queen has come a long way from being crowned Miss World in 1994, to working in Tamil films, moving to Bollywood and finally topping it up with international fame through movie projects as well as attending prestigious foreign film festivals.

But all through her 13-year film career, filmmakers feel she has remained a director’s delight, and is here to stay for a long time to come.

“Aishwarya always followed me during the shooting of Taal, and is a complete director’s actor. I’m proud she has evolved so much as an actor. She is giving good performances, she has achieved international fame, and she is leading a happy married life -- what else can she ask for from life? But she is as grounded as ever,” filmmaker Subhash Ghai said.

The director, who worked with Aishwarya in 1999, says the actress will “definitely be in Bollywood for another 10 years” and is looking forward to associating with her once again.

Ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who gave Aishwarya’s career a big push with Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam followed by Devdas, says she is a timeless beauty.

“Aishwarya is my muse, my jaan and I get terribly excited when I make a film with her because she is very, very special. Some people are timeless and Aishwarya will be there for another 20 years,” said Bhansali, whose third project with the actress, Guzaarish, releases Nov 19.

Aishwarya, who married actor Abhishek Bachchan in 2007, has broken the notion that married actresses discontinue their film careers... and her husband is proud of her.

“I feel great about Aishwarya’s achievements, I’m very proud of her. Whatever adulation she has got, she truly deserves it. I’m happy that she broke the notion that women can’t work after marriage. Why are we so regressive in our thinking? If she wants to work, her audience wants to see her, what is people’s problem? I as a husband am very happy that she is doing so well. I think she is doing better work now,” Abhishek had said.

The beauty is timeless and her demeanor elegant than ever before. Being one of the most beautiful women in the world, she is the global actress and a celebrity brand to think with. The gorgeous Aishwarya Rai celebrates her birthday on Nov. 1.

Aishwarya born on 1st November, 1973 in Mangalore to Krishnaraj Rai and Vrinda Rai. She has one elder brother, Aditya Rai, who is an engineer in the merchant navy. She started her career as a model and after being crowned as Miss World in 1994 she gained lots of fame. She had been the first woman in India whose wax Statue had been made in Madam Tussadd’s Museum in London, UK.

The actress made her debut in Tamil and later on kicked off to Bollywood. The actress so far acted in over 40 films in Hindi, English, Tamil and Bengali, which also include international productions.

There is a limited life span in the glamour industry. But that’s certainly not the case with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Even after her marriage she is going strong in movies and commercials too. From Miss World to Mrs. Bachchan, Aishwarya had an exciting journey and a dreamy life.

Aishwarya Rai is celebrating her 37th birthday today and this is going to be her third birthday with Abhishek Bachchan.

Aishwarya Rai says “I am busy promoting my films. `Action Replayy` is releasing on Nov 5 so lots of intense work every day. I have kept aside time on my birthday as always I spend it with my family, and how the day will roll I have no idea,”

Professionally the year has been a good one for the dove-eyed former Miss World as her film ‘ Robo’was well appreciated and did a great business. Aishwarya Rai has a number of exciting projects in the pipeline, including Action Replay with Akshay Kumar and Guzaarish with Hrithik Roshan.
