When Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Ears Bled, But the Dance Didn't Stop!

An artist earns fame both nationally and internationally through their craft. But behind this recognition lies relentless dedication and passion. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one such artist who proved it with her commitment — here's how.

An artist earns global acclaim through their art, but to achieve that level of success and admiration, they have to put their heart and soul into their work. Only then do they fulfill their true purpose.

In this journey, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan — who won the Miss World title in 1994 — has carved a name for herself. She once stunned everyone with a performance so powerful that it left a permanent mark in the world of cinema.

We're talking about the iconic 2002 film Devdas, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and produced by Bharat Shah. The film starred Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit, and Shah Rukh Khan in lead roles. Not only was the storyline gripping, but its music also became a sensation.

Do you remember the superhit song “Dola Re Dola” from this film? Aishwarya and Madhuri dazzled in red and white sarees, adorned with heavy traditional jewelry, as they performed an intense and unforgettable dance. The song was so popular that even today, it’s performed in schools and colleges across India.

When Blood Began to Flow

During the shoot of this song, Aishwarya wore extremely heavy earrings, which caused her ears to bleed while dancing. Yet, she did not stop. Despite the pain, she completed the shoot with full dedication. Her performance, along with her sheer commitment to her work, is clearly visible in the song. Even while injured, she didn’t let it affect her energy or expression. She matched steps with dance legend Madhuri Dixit and left a lasting impression. Her passion can be seen in every movement, making the song truly iconic.

The Scene’s Context

“Dola Re Dola” is set against the backdrop of a Durga Puja celebration at Paro’s home. The dance symbolizes Paro’s joyful acceptance of the woman (played by Madhuri Dixit) who now loves her childhood sweetheart. The song depicts a moment where social taboos are set aside, and the women come together in celebration.

Who Choreographed It?

The song was choreographed by the legendary Saroj Khan. It featured a mix of Indian classical dance forms, especially Nautwary, which blends elements of Kathak and Bharatanatyam. The track was beautifully sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy, Shreya Ghoshal, and K.K.

Work Front

Speaking of current work, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in Ponniyin Selvan: II. On the other hand, Madhuri Dixit appeared in the 2024 film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
