Aishwarya became Goodwill ambassador of UNAIDS!

Aishwarya Rai became the international Goodwill ambassador of the joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).  The decision regarding Aishwarya’s appointment is made at a meeting held on the eve of the 67^th United Nations General Assembly.   The former Miss World-turned- Bollywood actress will act for raising awareness on issues related to stopping new HIV infections in children and advocate for increased access to antiretroviral treatment.  "I am honored to accept this appointment. Spreading awareness on health issues especially related to women and children has always been of concern. And now as a new mother, I can personally relate to this — the joys and concerns of every mother, and the hopes that we have for our children. I pray and strongly believe that no baby should be born with HIV. And I wish that every woman living with HIV stays healthy and has access to treatment. I promise that with UNAIDS, I will do my utmost to make this happen," said Aishwarya, who is presently in America accompanying hubby Abhishek with daughter Aradhya.  We hope Aishwarya will do her best to curve down the number of AIDS patients in the world.
