Aishwarya Rai is one of the biggest stars in Bollywood.

Bollywood is the name for the growing movie industry centered in Mumbai (formerly called Bombay), India.

It is the world's biggest movie producer, producing about three new movies every day - more than Hollywood.

Bollywood films are shown in theaters throughout India, all Europe, the Middle East, and worldwide. The DVD and video market is even larger.

The word is a combination of the "B" from Bombay and "Hollywood".

Increasingly Bollywood stars are gaining a global following, and they tour the United States and United Kingdom from time to time.
