The 41-year-old decided to sponsor cleft-lip and cleft-palate surgery for 100 kids through her own charity organisation, in association with the NGO, Smile Train.
“Aishwarya sponsored cleft surgery of about 100 kids. As today marks the 20th anniversary of her becoming the second Indian to have won the Miss World pageant, she will meet these kids who have got their smiles back now,” said a source, adding, “What better way to celebrate the day than by putting smiles on these faces.”
Before Aishwarya, Reita F Powell was the first Indian to win the Miss World crown (in 1966), and after her, it was actor Priyanka Chopra (in 2000).
