    first off shes South Indian , which means she has no white in her .. The only indians that do are that are in very north of India because there Aryan like Persians, afghans etc who came from Europe and settled in the Middle East and so on . Those people in India arent really indian they just lived there and didnt make there own country Kashmiris , punjabis . Aish is drav , which is why people think she has contacts , because it’s really rare for those Souths to have it. But for those in the north it’s really common

    Look at these pictures from her childhood.

    CLEARLY her eyes are green! All those other photos are all edited. She was born with light skin and does not bleach it! See there is a photo of her less than one year old! In fact in this picture on her profile she has a spray tan. Why is everyone so jealous of her and keep saying she bleaches her skin and wears contacts? Do you have anything else better to do with your lives? She was born like this and is beautiful. It’s a fact. Get over it.
    Plus she’s from mangalore! They are known for beautiful women and eyes!

    • It’s only because people don’t bother to do some research. India is a huge country and the people range from light skinned to black. There are people like Aishwarya and people like Andamanese Islanders. There over over a billion people in India.

  3. correction; this is absolute nonsense, her eyes are light and always have been, they’re most definitely not brown. People have been making the same assumptions about beyonces hazel eyes, Rihanna’s green eyes, tyra banks green eyes etc. Just because these people don’t fit your criteria of a ‘white’ person does not mean they cannot possess light eyes just by that slim chance, a recessive feature means it is rare/unlikely, not impossible. That picture provided of her eyes being ‘brown’ look like hazel contacts if you ask me and don’t look natural at all. Her eye colour does look quite natural as they aren’t a ‘solid’ colour nor are they too bright or unrealistic, take a look for yourself;

    Her eyes look very natural being the grey/green colour that they are and never change, they even have a slight bit of brown around the pupil similar to Rihanna’s eyes, if they were wearing light eyed contacts they would not have the brown specks. But in the end there is absolutely no fact behind her wearing contacts so I fail to see why this website should list (possibly brown) when it’s all rumours from people who are too ignorant to believe an indian could have light eyes, even though most Indians do carry the white gene.

  4. Here she is without the coloured contacts
