Before she became a global icon, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was just starting out like any other model—and a recently resurfaced invoice from 1992 proves it. The document shows she earned a modest ₹1,500 for a magazine shoot back then. A throwback photo with the bill features a fresh-faced Aishwarya alongside other now-famous faces like Sonali Bendre, offering a charming peek at her early career. It’s a fun reminder that even megastars had humble beginnings.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a nostalgia trip—it’s a relatable snapshot of how far Aishwarya (and her peers) have come. In an era where celebrity lives often feel unattainably glamorous, seeing proof of their ordinary starts humanizes them. Plus, it’s a subtle nod to the hustle behind every success story, which might resonate with anyone grinding away at their own dreams.
