correction; to J.J. Although I do appreciate your analysis on the similarities to the Indian and white race’s facial structure , lets not forget many bollyqood actresses have gone through cosmetic surgery and wear heavy makeup.
correction; Aishwarya has natural brown eyes . She just wears contacts. If you look her up in one of the first Bollywood films she starred in you will notice she has light brown eyes. This was a strategy to get her to stand out in the Bollywood industry. It is also her trade mark ; As for the European ancestry blood lines J.J. was talking about, this may not necessarily be true because Europeans / the British did not settle in until after WW1. They had invaded India (including Pakistan and Bangladesh ). There is a VERY slight possibility that she does have European ancestors , also considering she is from south India.
correction; Indians carry the white gene which is why some have aquiline noses, narrow faces etc, it is also a theory that white people started in northern india (Indo-Aryan) which is what hitler believed not to mention European languages can be traced back to northern india that is why the language tree is referred to as Indo-European. But lets not forget india is next to Pakistan & Persia and Persians do come under the ‘caucasian’ category, while light eyes may not be common in the Persian region they can be still be found. and all that being said india was invaded by numerous European explorers like the English and the Portuguese. So it is possible by a slim chance that an Indian can have naturally light eyes and her eyes look perfectly natural. All this nonsense of her eyes being contacts and her having brown eyes as a child is just scepticism, there is absolutely no hard evidence, so while certain people may be headstrong enough to believe her eyes are brown and it’s impossible for an indian to have light eyes, it is not a fact, as it stands her eyes are always grey/green in her movies and photos and it is one of her trademarks, so until it actually becomes a known fact that her eyes are brown and she wears contacts this website should not listen to corrections by very ignorant, sceptical people. as it stands her eyes are grey/green full stop
correction; her eyes are grey/green
