An old interview of the Devdas actor has now surfaced on social media, where she could be seen talking about her initial days in the Hindi film industry.
The actress began working as a model during her college days which led her to the beauty pageant and then television commercials.
When asked if she has changed after becoming Miss World, Aishwarya said,” I haven’t changed much.”
“Probably after Miss World people have started listening to me attentively, they started taking me far more seriously, my approach became a little more responsible and I became a full-fledged media personality or what people call a celebrity,” she added.
Speaking of her career before the actress said, “A hit gives you a chance to work with the best of directors, with God’s grace I never had lack of work. I am working with very good directors.”
“People have recognised my capability as an actress and that is the most important thing for me,” she added.
