There was a buzz that Julia Roberts once called Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, "one of the most beautiful women in the world with beautiful green eyes."

Now it's the turn of another top Hollywood actress to praise Ash.

The buzz is while promoting her new film Australia; Nicole Kidman expressed her admiration for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

The lithe blonde beauty has reportedly said, "I'm a fan of Aishwarya Rai and her film 'Bride and Prejudice'. I got to meet Aishwarya for the first time at the 2005 Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World dinner held in New York City. I think she's so beautiful."

The ex Miss World recently created news and won praise for her decision to reject an offer by L'Oreal to promote a skin fairness product. The younger Sonam Kapoor was singed on later.

Sources claimed, "She said that she didn't want to promote a fairness cream especially in India where one's skin colour is such a big issue. She will never promote a product that discriminates on the basis of one's skin colour."

This lady continues to go places and is in no mood to stop anytime soon.
