Aishwarya Rai Bachchan bags IFFAA award for Sarbjit

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been recently honoured with the best actress award for her performance in 'Sarbjit' at the International Film Festival and Awards of Australia (IFFAA).

In the biopic, the 43-year-old actress portrayed Dalbir Kaur, a sister, fighting against the system to bring back his brother from Pakistan jail.
