Aishwarya turns 43; to celebrate day with family and close friends

Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who turned 43 on Tuesday, will celebrate the day with her family and close friends.

According to sources, Aishwarya will be having an intimate dinner with family and friends. However, this time the "Sarbjit" actress will not be holding a press conference which she usually does on her birthday at her residence in suburban Juhu.

From being crowned as Miss World to becoming a top Bollywood actress, Aishwarya has achieved great success in her career. She is currently basking in the glory of her recently released movie "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" in which she is seen alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.

The former beauty queen made her acting debut with Mani Ratnam's 1997 Tamil film "Iruvar" starring legendary versatile actor Mohanlal and her first Hindi film release was "Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya" that same year.

She is known for her memorable performances in "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam", "Devdas", "Chokher Bali", "Raincoat", "Provoked", "Mohabbatein", "Dhoom 2", "Jodhaa Akbar", "Enthiran" and "Guzaarish" among others.

Aishwarya took a sabbatical from acting in 2010, and returned to the silver screen with thriller "Jazbaa". She was then seen in "Sarbjit" and now her latest release is Karan Johar's "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil".

Aishwarya got married to Abhishek Bachchan in 2007 and the couple have a daughter named Aaradhya.
