Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 1 (ANI): Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan turned a year older on Sunday. 

Marking her 53rd birthday, her fans and several members of the film industry dropped adorable wishes for her on social media. 

Taking to Instagram, actress Kajol wrote, 'Happy birthday Aishwarya...killing it on every stage.'

She also shared a stunning picture of Aishwarya, clicked against the iconic backdrop of the Eiffel Tower.

A fan wrote on X, 'Birthday wishes to former Miss World, one of the most beautiful actresses in the world.'

Fashion designer Manish Malhotra also extended his best wishes to Aishwarya. 

'Dearest gorgeous. Happiest birthday. Lots of Love,' he wrote. 

Another fan on X posted, 'The face Card that has NEVER declined. The Eyes that launched a million Crushes. The Beauty that made the Entire world Stop and Stare. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, you will ALWAYS be that Girl!  From ruling Beauty pageants to owning Bollywood Screens and serving unforgettable looks at Cannes, Aishwarya has been setting standards long before social media even existed. She gave us iconic Characters, legendary songs, breathtaking dance performances and fashion moments that are still talked about today. And the best part? Her grace, confidence and elegance remain unmatched. Some people follow trends, while others become the standard. Aishwarya has always belonged to the second category.

'Happy Birthday to the OG Bollywood beauty queen! One face, countless iconic moments and a legacy that will never fade.'

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a fashionista, and there's no doubt about that. The first Indian woman to be crowned Miss World was Reita Faria in 1966, and after her, it took us 28 years to have another Indian beauty win it again. Aishwarya Rai ended that hiatus in the most graceful way after she brought the crown home in 1994.

She made her acting debut with director Mani Ratnam's Tamil political drama 'Iruvar' in 1997, and after that she was seen in many big Hindi films like 'Devdas', 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam', 'Mohabbatein', 'Guru', 'Jodhaa Akbar', 'Taal' and many more. (ANI)
