Aishwarya didn’t want to be an actress

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan maybe one of the biggest and brightest Bollywood stars today but Bollywood was not on her mind while growing up. Here’s what she actually wanted to be.”I wanted to become a doctor because I had and still have a genuine love for the subject. So many girls want to become doctors even today. I studied Science and a lot of my friends today are doctors. They tell me even today that I would have made a fantastic doctor because I genuinely enjoy the subject,” she says, adding, “Very honestly, I joined architecture at the last minute because I thought it was a blend of science and art.

Maybe that is why it was easy for me to leave it. If I were doing medicine, I would have never left it. Today, my doctor friends tease me that I fulfilled my khwaaish of treating people through my social work. In a way, it has brought me back to service because I do a lot of work around health-care.”Ash was never starry-eyed or showbiz-struck. “I never dreamt that I would join films because nobody in my family is even remotely connected to the profession.

As a child, films were there on screen and I was the audience. I never thought I would be here. It goes back to the first photo-session I did and word got around. The good part is that I have been lucky because I never had to struggle through auditions and work has just come my way. ”I think I gravitate towards assignments that are even more challenging than my previous ones. Every time I do interviews, I say that the role was challenging but next time, it is even more challenging. It has all been very demanding, for sure!” concludes Ash.
