She may have been criticised in India for not losing her baby weight fast enough, but former Miss World and  powerhouse performer Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been voted the world’s fourth most beautiful woman in a recent poll conducted by the online magazine, Hollywood Buzz.

Rai made it to an impressive fourth position on the list of Top 30 Most Beautiful Women, after Italian actor Monica Belluci, American model-actor Kate Upton and Hollywood star Angelina Jolie. The poll conducted in December 2013 saw more than four million people send in their votes, selecting the most intelligent, desirable and successful women in 2013-14, reportedIMDb.

The Indian model-actor, who recently turned 40, commented on the results of the poll: ‘The result of this poll was brought to my notice by my well-wishers who messaged me… and I must admit, it’s overwhelming to hear that over four million people across the globe have voted, and listed me amongst their top choices with such beautiful and talented women… a loving thank you to all my well wishers for making me smile and always being there for me.”
