9. Raavan (2010)
Mani Ratnam’s modern take on Ramayana, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan played the role of Ragini, who was kidnapped by Beera (Abhishek Bachchan) and used as bait by her husband, Dev (Vikram) to capture him. The movie failed to succeed at the box office but Aish definitely left many impressed with her challenging performance.
10. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016)
While the main leads were melodramatic in this movie, the character of Saba was the only reason why many of us revisited the movie. Saba (Aishwarya Rai) redefined elegance, confidence, pride, and self-love. Among the immature and toxic characters, you could admire this grown-up and self-assured character even more. In the loud movie, she brought heart-touching romance and sensuality, which made the movie worth revisiting.
