Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar named for Padma Shri Awards…
 They are really fantastic and have huge fan folliwng not only in the country but also across the globe. The world’s gorgeous woman Aishwariya Rai and Akshay Kumar have been named for this year’s Padma Shri Award. These awards are endowed as a national honour.
The awards for Aishwarya and Akshay were announced on the occasion of India’s republic day. Apart from both of these popular celebrities of the tinsel town, the yesteryears’ hot dancing diva Helen was named for this award as well.
Aishwarya Rai, aged 35, has been the face of Bollywood the world over and acted in abundant of successful movies like ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’, ‘Devdas’, ‘Taal’, ‘Dhoom 2’ and ‘Guru’. Ash has also done brilliance in a couple of international projects such as ‘The Last Legion’ and the upcoming ‘ The Next Pink Panther’.
Akshay Kumar, on the contrary, has risen to success precipitously over the last few years. For a long time in his career, Kumar had been taken as a dependable actor in the industry but he was still not in the top league. But once the consecutive successes at the box office with the films like ‘Namastey London’, ‘Heyy Babyy’, ‘Bhagam Bhaag’, ‘Welcome’ and ‘Singh is Kinng’ emerged, he became the darling of the nation and superstar of Bollywood.
Akshay Kumar was also bestowed with a trophy for the most popular actor of the year at Star Screen Awards, which he refused to accept it saying Aamir Khan deserved it better than him for his role in ‘Ghajini’.
Helen was the super cabaret diva of the films in 70s and 80s. Although her dances were lableled ‘raunchy’, but she commanded and still commands a huge respect from the entertainment industry.
