As Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is ringing in her 44th birthday, an old advertisement of her in a fairness cream ad also featuring Mahima Chaudhary has gone viral. This ad was done way back in the 90s during Aishwarya's initial modelling days. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had also participated in the Miss India contest and was a hot favourite to win the pageant, but lost out to Sushmita Sen, who impressed the judges with her poise and intellect.
