Bollyood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan seems to be extremely fond of her Umrao Jaan co-star Shabana Azmi, as is evident in this picture dating from when they were promoting the 2006 film. Ash has her Khanum Jaan from the movie ensconced in a bear hug and from what we can make out, Shabana seems to be thoroughly enjoying the gesture.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's fashion stock seems to soar when she's abroad and plummet at home. After her glamorous appearances at the Ascot horse races in England last month, Ash went right back to the frumpy style she's been slated for in an unflattering Indian suit at the Kalyan Jewellers store launch in Pune on Sunday (July 7, 2013).

Ash, when will we see you hitting the right fashion note back home?
Ash in the red
The offending outfit was a too-busy bright red and gold suit with full sleeves. The tumbling locks did not rescue Ash from fashion hell.

There was no murder or intrigue on this journey of the Orient Express. Instead, there was glamour in spades, provided by Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who attended a dinner on-board the luxury train hosted by watch company Longines, of which she is the brand ambassador, on June 18. Slinky in figure-hugging grey, Ash is in England attending the Royal Ascot races where Longines serves as the official timekeeper.

This is the modern version of the historic train that was immortalised by crime novelist Agatha Christie in the Hercule Poirot mystery Murder On The Orient Express. (This image was posted on Twitter by @FabulousAish)

Just when we thought Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had finally found her fashion mojo – her Elie Saab dress at Cannes 2013 was a ray of light - the actress made a style snafu yet again in a heavily embroidered lime green lehenga which she wore to launch a wristwear boutique in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on June 14, 2013.

While Ash's innate loveliness saved the day, the outfit itself indicates that the Bachchan bahu, never the most style-savvy of actresses, is getting to be more wear-isome by the day.

Goodwill ambassador for UNAIDS Aishwarya Rai Bachchan cut an extremely fine figure at The Life Ball, a charity event hosted by designer Roberto Cavalli in Vienna. Ash's glamorous Roberto Cavalli dress is possibly the best outfit we've seen her in lately, flattering her figure even more than the lace Elie Saab she wore at the just-concluded Cannes film festival.

Full marks for the dress, hair and make-up. More please!

L'Oreal Paris ambassador Aishwarya Rai Bachchan may not have impressed on the Cannes red carpet with her anarkali, but the actress definitely made heads turn during the portraits session at the French riviera.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan isn't just movie royalty, she also looks the part in her latest advert for Kalyan Jewellers. She appears as a breathtakingly beautiful royal queen straight from the Rajput/Mughal era, much like her role as Jodhabai in Ashutosh Gowarikar's magnum opus Jodhaa Akbar, decked in heavy antique jewellery. We can't discern her entire costume, but that delicately embroidered net dupatta is surely fit for a queen.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's maternity leave is over and her very first job was inaugurating the flagship showroom for Kalyan Jewellers in Kochi on Sunday (August 19). Ash, who reportedly took nine-month-old Aaradhya with her to the Southern town, looked pretty in a traditional white and gold Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla lehenga. She finished her look with flowers in her hair and heavy jewellery.
24-karat Ash needs no photoshopping
Ash, who looked suspiciously slender in her print ads for the jewellery brand, proved that she needed no digital manipulation, no photoshopping to look anything but perfect.

She said: "This truly feels special. You all know I have shot for this ad after a bit of a break but really thanks to the entire team. I haven't felt the time at all and it was really wonderful to be here and shooting such a beautiful campaign. Kalyan Jewellers campaign will always remain special to me because this is the first campaign I have shot after the birth of my beautiful daughter Aaradhya."

Aishwarya is also back on the social circuit. Over the weekend she attended a party in honour of favourite designers Abu-Sandeep. She's been reading some film scripts and is expected to sign a project soon. Here's welcoming here back.

In this other image from the ad campaign, a lehenga and heavy duty jewellery disguise any plus-sized curves that Ash might still have. But her face has shrunk noticeably, making her look years younger.

Compare the new picures of Ash with this one. She wore a grey Elie Saab on the Cannes red carpet in May this year, with a huge smile and a carefree wave of her hand, unmindful of the fact that the dress clung to every plus size curve. Could she really have lost all that weight so quickly? If she has, then we – more Ash please.

Coming Up: Why we're still obsessed with Ash's weight.
It\'s a good time to be Aishwarya
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is described life as full time mum to daughter Aaradhya as "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," walked the ramp for watch brand Longines in New Delhi. The actress has been the brand ambassador for Longines for 13 years.

Ash, who will be interviewed by British journalist Sir David Frost- best known for his interviews with former President Richard Nixon, said her weight has never been an "issue" with her. Last seen on screen opposite Hrithik Roshan in Guzaarish (2010), Ash says she is reading scripts and will return to the big screen soon.

The former Miss World and mother of 10-month-old daughter Aaradhya said motherhood has kept her extremely busy for the past year and she hasn't had much time to miss being in movies. Motherhood is "bliss like I have never experienced. Each passing day you feel blessed with such joys," said Aishwarya.

Also seen with the actress was veteran Hollywood actor Michael Douglas (extreme right).
Why we\'re still obsessed with Ash\'s weight
This image of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on her way to a party at the Ambanis' quickly divided public opinion on her full-faced appearance. Much was said about how she had failed to shed the post-pregnancy kilos, but many came to her defence calling it unfair to expect her to instantly bounce back to her slim and trim self. So what's the fuss about? Should Ash be worried about her weight? These are pictures taken off her after she gave birth.
Why we\'re still obsessed with Ash\'s weight
Another Ambani party in March, this time in honour of Sachin Tendulkar. Ash wore a black Sabysachi anarkali.

Sabyasachi is among those who have jumped to Ash's defence, saying: "Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has just delivered a baby and like any other woman she would definitely take time to put off that weight. She's a super celebrity and I think she is doing a commendable job by showing her real side to the media. Earlier, she was criticised for being unreal and plastic."
Why we\'re still obsessed with Ash\'s weight
Talk-show queen Oprah Winfrey, who was in India recently, posted a picture of herself with Aishwarya and Abhishek on Twitter. Pretty Ash was in a Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla anarkali, which looked a tad oversized for her.

The actress has been accused of now being heavier by five to six kilos.

Why we\'re still obsessed with Ash\'s weight
This picture was taken in November last year, when Aishwarya returned home with Beti B. Aishwarya did look a lot slimmer back then, but we love her with or without the baby fat.

There was a frenzied clicking of camera when Ash stepped out for the first time since she gave birth to Beti B with her family. The actress seemed at ease, at the wedding reception of Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia, in February.
