CBS) Who is the most beautiful woman in the world? Half a century ago, Hollywood would have presented her to us. Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman or perhaps Elizabeth Taylor.
But today? Correspondent Bob Simon reports the woman who currently holds the title, at least according to thousands of Web sites, Internet polls and even Julia Roberts, is someone you've probably never heard of.
Her name is Aishwarya Rai, and she is an actress living and working in Bombay, India. The reigning queen of Indian cinema, and also a classically trained dancer, Rai has starred in 24 films over the last seven years.
That may seem like a lot of movies, but Bollywood, India’s film capital, is famous for churning out more movies a year than Hollywood. Three new films are produced and distributed worldwide every day, attracting a global audience of 5 billion people. That’s twice the reach of Hollywood.
The reason Bollywood films have such universal appeal is because they’re squeaky-clean. There are no sex scenes, not even kissing. Every time you think someone’s going to do it, they'll burst into song instead.
"I'd assume that's really a reflection of our society," Rai says, when asked to explain the films' modesty. "Of course people kiss and of course people have a very healthy love life. This is the land of the Kama Sutra. But nevertheless, in our society you don't really see people around the street corner kissing or being extremely, overtly, physically demonstrative publicly. They do it privately but not publicly."

Of all the imaginary friends I've had, I don't think there was one that I didn't end up having to kill.......
I though you were married to her !
BTW did ya get the lady GI pics from Iraq ?
If you like the smell of curry, you've got it made.
you got e-mail......
"Nope, my wife is."
I feel the same way about my wife. Married 13 yrs and she is the love of my life and the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!
I like those music videos. They are sweet and flirty and everyone keeps their clothes on.
I'd rather have that than Brittany Spears and her type.
The minor key gets on my nerves after a while.
You are a good man!
If his wife reads FR, he's certainly a smart man, anyway! :-)
I don't know much about music at all. But sometimes I'll put Showbiz India on while I am cooking or something.
They fascinate me for some reason. I don't understand a thing they are saying in the songs though.
I used to think Shania Twain until I saw her in an interview. A real let-down, though she still looks phenomenal. Faith didn't impress much in that department either but she's so gorgeous it doesn't much matter. Angelina is an adventure on two legs.
I'd also add Famke Jansenn, Vanessa Williams, Angela Bassett... There are so many beautiful women that I find my answer changing because you can't say "OK, THIS one" unless you have an emotional investment. I'm sure if I were happily married I would truly believe my wife WAS the most beautiful because some of the feelings worked up by love would influence the decision.
yep
and yep.

And I am certain that she will show you the appreciation that you gallantry deserves.

Exactly! True love is not just skin deep!
Monica Belluci, no ifs ands or buts. And the discussion is now closed.
