A rare piece of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s early modelling career has recently resurfaced and is taking the internet by storm. A 1992 modelling invoice, featuring a young Aishwarya, has gone viral, revealing a humble start to what would become one of India’s most iconic careers in fashion and film.

Shared by a Reddit user, the bill is dated May 23, 1992—when Aishwarya was just 18 years old. The invoice shows she was paid Rs 1,500 for a magazine photoshoot. While the amount may seem modest today, it was considered a substantial sum at the time, especially for a teenager just beginning her modelling journey. The document even bears her signature and lists her residence as Ram Laxmi Nivas, offering a rare glimpse into her early life.
