Aishwarya Rai in Hollywood<\/h3>\n

Aishwarya Rai’s Hollywood career consists of\u00a0Pink Panther 2, The Bride and the Prejudice, The Last Legion,\u00a0\u2018The Mistress of Spices, Journey Across India <\/em>and Provoked: A True Story.<\/em><\/p>\n

While the comedy Pink Panther 2\u00a0<\/em>was average, the franchise’s fandom contributed to the movie’s fame. The Mistress of Spices <\/em>and The Last Legion<\/em>\u00a0were average performers at best.<\/p>\n

Journey Across India <\/em>and Provoked: A True Story\u00a0<\/em>are maybe Aishwarya Rai’s best works in Hollywood and received better ratings.<\/p>\n
