Aishwarya Rai has been honored with the ‘Global Indian of the year’ award. The elated actress in a statement said, “I was very passionate about making it more than a perceived beauty pageant. I all along believed that it was the opportunity to represent an Indian woman on the international platform. I believe that from then until today, in 2016, it continues. I am glad to have been chosen to be a feature film artist and a career woman. I have had so many opportunities, personally, professionally and socially”.
The Iruvar heroine dedicated the award to her daughter Aaradhya. It has to be mentioned that tennis player Sania Mirza was also honored at this award event.
Congratulations Aishwarya!
