Early Life and Education

Aishwarya Rai was born into a Tulu-speaking Hindu family in Mangalore, Karnataka, on November 1, 1973. Her father, Krishnaraj Rai, an army biologist, passed away on March 18, 2017, while her mother, Vrinda, is a homemaker. She has an elder brother, Aditya Rai, who works as an engineer in the merchant navy. Rai’s film Dil Ka Rishta (2003) was co-produced by her brother and co-written by her mother. Fluent in Tulu, Hindi, and English from a young age, Rai’s family later relocated to Mumbai due to her father’s job.

In Mumbai, she attended Arya Vidya Mandir High School, followed by Jai Hind College for one year, and then D. G. Ruparel College, where she scored 90% in her Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) exams. Rai has described her commitment to academics, noting that she consistently achieved top ranks, except for a brief period in seventh grade. In her 10th grade, although expectations were high for her to top the ICSE board exams, she placed seventh or eighth, which was a significant disappointment for her.
