艾西瓦婭·雷是印度家喻戶曉的知名女演員。她出生于1973年,小學時她就展現出聰明的一面。在學習建筑學期間,她成為了一名兼職模特。她曾經計劃成為一名建筑師。但是事情就在是在這一刻發生了變化,1994年她參加了“世界小姐”比賽,并一舉奪魁。
Rai became a full-time model after her year’s duties as Miss World. She is still called the most beautiful woman in the world. She is also multi-lingual and can speak five languages. She made her movie debut in ‘Iruvar,’ a 1997 Tamil film. It didn’t do very well. Her first commercial success came a year later in another Tamil movie, ‘Jeans’.
雷在獲得世界小姐殊榮的一整年中,她成為了一名全職模特。如今,人們還把她稱之為全球最美麗的女人。她還能夠講5門語言。1997年,她出演了她的第一部電影作品《舞蹈王子》,這是一部泰米爾語電影。這部影片并沒有掀起太大的波瀾。而一年之后,她出演的另一部泰米爾語電影《善良的謊言》卻讓她取得了商業上的成功。
The Bollywood movie industry took an instant like to her and she starred in several very successful Hindi movies. In 1999 she won the Filmfare Best Actress Award. She has acted in over 40 movies in the past decade in Hindi, Tamil, Bengali and English. She also landed the lead female role in 2009’s ‘Pink Panther 2’movie in Hollywood.

In Indian culture, Rai is considered a 'Mangalik', which according to the stars is a destructive influence in married life.
