Aishwarya Rai looked a stunner, teasingly wrapped in a blue sheer net sari at the debut Big Star Entertainment Awards in Andheri, Mumbai on Tuesday, December 21.
The 37-year-old former Miss World (1994) wore an embellished sari with sparkling accents and purple velvet bottom border. Her blouse was uncharacteristically revealing - with a very low neckline and nearly backless. She modesty kept her sari tightly wrapped around the shoulders shielding the décolletage, but her bare back enticed through the sheer sari. Aishwarya accessorized with golden strappy heels, black clutch, stud earrings, a jeweled gold watch in her right arm and her signature multiple rings on both her hands. Her reddish brown hair, styled in structured curls, draped her left shoulder. She wore shimmery pink lip gloss, thick eyeliner and silvery blue eyeshadow. Aishwarya was in the running for two awards - Film Actor of Decade (Female) and Most Entertaining Film Female Actor for Guzaarish. She won the former; it was presented to her by Tina Ambani and Javed Akhtar. Aishwarya arrived at the event with Pa-in-Law Amitabh Bachchan and the two posed together on the red carpet for photogs. Later during the show, the two were seen sitting with Tina Ambani. The recorded awards ceremony will air on Dec 31 at 10 pm on Star Plus. The Big Star Entertainment Awards are jointly presented by India's media giants - STAR India Pvt Ltd and Anil and Tina Ambani's Reliance Broadcast Network Ltd. The awards are claimed to be India's first ever 'people's award' - judged by people right from nominations to the final winners - ensuring total transparency.
