Gorgeous Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai will soon have a new Barbie doll modeled on her, released in the market.

With this she joins a league of select Hollywood beauties who have been given Barbie their faces. With the Aishwarya Barbie Doll all set to hit shops, the actress will join the ranks of Hollywood divas like Beyoncé Knowles, Elizabeth Taylor and Diana Ross, who have all had their own limited edition celebrity Barbies.

Aishwarya Rai is a leading Indian actress who was once called the most beautiful woman on earth. She was also a Miss World title winner.

Besides being one of the more successful actresses in Bollywood she has also won acclaim in Hollywood. Her latest Hollywood release Pink Panther has done relatively well at the box office.
As the Barbie doll completes its 50th year, Mattel Toys has decided to launch a Barbie doll based on the looks of beautiful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The actress is said to have been approached by the makers, a couple of months back. But Aishwarya wanted to be sure about the entire look of the doll.

“Aishwarya is quite happy and thrilled that she had been approached for this honour. But she is very particular about her image and therefore didn’t want the doll to look anything that she wasn’t comfortable with,” revealed a source.

The source also adds that the early reports of the doll have been good and so Mattel Toys is now planning to speed up production and distribute the dolls within India and internationally in countries like United Kingdom and Dubai where Bollywood has a strong fan following, especially Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s fans.
The former Miss World will have a Barbie modeled after her, titled “Bollywood Barbie“, reported The Telegraph.
Barbie is a fashion doll manufactured by Mattel, Inc. and launched in March 1959. American businesswoman Ruth Handler is credited with the creation of the doll using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration.

Barbie has been an important part of the toy fashion doll market for nearly fifty years, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits, often involving parody of the doll and her lifestyle.
