After a low phase in Aishwarya Rai's career during 2003-2005, Aishwarya Rai appeared in the blockbuster Dhoom 2 (2006), which turned out to be her biggest Bollywood commercial success. Aishwarya Rai later appeared in films like Guru (2007) and Jodhaa Akbar (2008), which were commercially successful and got her critical acclaim. Aishwarya Rai has thus established herself as one of the leading contemporary actresses in the Indian film industry.
