On the occasion of actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's 43rd birthday, director Omung Kumar sang praises for her.

The filmmaker who has worked with Aishwarya in 'Sarbjit' called her a director's actor and lauded her for the dedication she has for her work.

He further said that the actress moulds herself as per the character which was quite evident in 'Sarbjit' in which she was seen playing the role of Dalbir Kaur.

Omung also emphasized that 'Sarbjit' changed people's perception towards the beauty queen as Aishwarya was not seen as a glamourous diva in the movie.

Kumar asserted that the former beauty queen is a hardcore professional and is extremely hard-working as well as cooperative.


`She does not just work in a film; she collaborates with the director of the film. During our shooting of 'Sarbjit', she didn't even use mobile phone on set. That's her dedication level`, Omung added.

While Omung has worked with Aishwarya just once, the filmmaker was said to be keen enough to collaborate with the actress again.

On the work front, the Bachchan bahu was last seen on the silver screen in the recently release 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' opposite Ranbir Kapoor.

While her steamy scenes with the young actor have created a lot of buzz, the movie is considered to be her comeback film in actual sense.

Also starring Anushka Sharma in key role, with Fawad Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt in cameos, 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' was released on October 28.
