Aishwarya Rai gave Hugh Jackman a nice present when he visited India for an award ceremony in 2011. Also present was his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness.
The world’s most beautiful woman is Aishwarya Rai, according to fans and foreign stars. Kim Kardashian labeled her a “queen,” reminding us of an earlier accolade from Hugh Jackman.

Hugh Jackman and ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness visited India in 2011. FICCI Frames honored him for his movie contributions. He took a Lord Ganesha idol from Yash Chopra and Aishwarya Rai with open arms.
Hugh expressed gratitude to Aish after receiving the present. The most gorgeous actress in the world was supposed to introduce me, and I believed it was my wife. I say that because I’m smart and my wife is in the front row.
But Aish, many thanks. You are a lovely actress. A wonderful actress, but not the most attractive (pointing to his wife). But thanks to FICCI for hosting us. We dream of being in Mumbai, India. We wanted to come.”
His clever reply is popular.
Hugh was savvy to flatter Aishwarya while loving Deborra, fans said. “When you praise Ash, you win her heart and fans. A video viewer on Instagram said, “But you praise your wife in front of her you win all the women’s hearts.” “Bro was saving himself from argument,” wrote another. “Such a thorough gentleman apart from being a terrific actor,” commented another enthusiast.
Hugh enjoyed dancing with Shah Rukh Khan and Vidya Balan during the awards presentation. He stated, “I idolize Shah Rukh Khan and loved My Name is Khan. The sequel will be called My Name is Jackman and I am not a tourist, he quipped, referencing the My Name Is Khan tag line, “And I am not a terrorist.”
Last September, Hugh and Deborra divorced after 28 years. His last film was Deadpool and Wolverine with Ryan Reynolds last week.
