Aishwarya Rai, the green-eyed diva celebrates her 39th birthday

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who turns 39 today, is all set to have a grand birthday. She will be receiving the second highest French civilian award 'Officer Dan Ordre Arts et des Lettres', in Mumbai today (1.11.2012). 

This is an award-in-waiting for Aishwarya. She was first supposed to have received the award from the French government in 2009, but had to defer it due to her father Krishnaraj Rai's illness.
