Women from the Hindi film industry are rightly the Amazonian warriors. Fearless, feisty and ethereal. They have proved their mettle at the box-office and have carved out their identity not just in the acting space, but as people wielding power and enjoying a rock-solid position. If the Khans are superstars these ladies are in a league of their own. The leading Bollywood magazine, Filmfare has dedicated its May edition to the power girls of showbiz, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra. Leading the pack, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is seen scorching the temperatures on the cover of Filmfare. And to say she looks stunning and ethereal, all in one perfect shot would be a serious understatement. Sporting an oversized off-shoulder navy blue jacket, the actress looks stunning as ever. Her hair is let down in cascading soft curls and her smouldering eyes speak volumes.

With the International Film Festival in Cannes on the anvil, and with a history of hits and misses, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Filmfare cover couldn’t have coincided at a better time as the diva who is one of the faces for L’oreal Paris along with Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone will be seen stunning the global audiences yet again this year.
