After actor Hrithik Roshan meeting students from Pakistan, it was Bollywood queen Aishwarya Rai's turn to meet fans from India and Bangladesh.
On Friday, fans from the two countries who won the Lux "Star Bano Aish Karo" contest spent a day with Aishwarya, arguably one of the world's most beautiful women.
Winners were received at the Mumbai airport amid flashbulbs and public glare, just like the Bollywood diva herself is received the world over. Chauffer-driven cars took them to a luxurious suite in a five-star hotel.
What followed was a make over session for the winners by makeup guru Michelle Tung, keeping in line with Rai's glamorous looks. Then the winners were taken to buy a new wardrobe worth Rs.50,000 in keeping with their new looks.
The icing on the cake was a special party where they got to meet Aishwarya in person and received a sari from her preferred designer Neeta Lulla.
There was also a question and answer session where one Bangladeshi couple asked Aishwarya if she actually bathed with Lux soap. She said yes. They then asked her why they haven't become beautiful like her even after years of bathing with the same soap!
One Bangladeshi fan invited her to the country and even requested her to say few words in Bengali considering she worked in the Bengali film "Chokher Bali".
