Since 1997 she has been one of the superstars of "Bollywood," the Indian film industry.

Her 2002 film Devdas was a tremendous hit. She has worked mainly in Indian films, but in recent years she has appeared in Western productions, including Bride and Prejudice (2004, a colorful take on the Jane Austen tale) and Mistress of Spices (2005). Rai was married to actor Abhishek Bachchan on 20 April 2007.
