One of the most beautiful women in the world turns 34 today.

It's been an eventful year indeed for Aishwarya Rai. After a highly publicised wedding to Abhishek Bachchan, the actress headed West to work on the sets of Pink Panther, with Steve Martin, Andy Garcia and Alfred Molina.

Of course, nothing the actress does is done in a whisper. Not even her first Karva Chauth, which was extensively flashed across television channels.

So here's wishing Ash another eventful birthday, and lots of fun!
