Aishwarya was honoured Friday as the best actress (female) jury choice for her outstanding performance in the sensitive and challenging role of Sofia in "Guzaarish" that also starred Hrithik Roshan as a paraplegic patient.
The actress also performed at the event on hit numbers from "Raavan", "Action Replayy" and "Robot".
The award comes right after winning a gong for cinematic excellence for her work for the same film at the recently held Apsara Awards.
