Calling her 'Gorgeous', 'Elegant', 'Beautiful' etc...will be like holding a torch before the blazing sun! We are indeed talking about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who, besides being the Bollywood superstar and eternal Miss World et al, is the current 'power-cover-girl' of Verve magazine.

This is one issue which can be rightly called as 'The Collector's Edition' as it features the Top 50 Most Influential Women of 2009.

And needless to say that it is none other than Bollywood's dearest darling Aishwarya topping the list. In her interview to the magazine, Ash speaks about the number game, her 'salary', her marriage, Hollywood, her father's recovery, Padma Shri and much more.

As the said article states that 'Interviewing Aishwarya is like prying open a floodgate'. We just couldn't argue on that. Way to go, Ash!
