Mona Lisa's smile may still be a mystery but Bollywood, as usual, has managed to come around it.

Aishwarya Rai takes over from Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece in artist Ratan Parimoo's latest work.

The 72-year-old exhibited his first paintings in Jehangir art gallery, South Mumbai, after a break of nine years.

He adapted Mona Lisa as the archetypal female and also compared her metaphorically with well known female characters from both European and Indian art history.

In the picture: Artists Ananya Banerji and Amisha Mehta pose in front of Ash as Mona Lisa.
