It seems Aishwarya Rai is making a stunning comeback with her new advertisement campaign for a jewellery chain in India.

Her advertisement for India's Kalyan Jewellers garnered much praise and admiration from fans, just months after she was criticised for not losing the weight she put on during her pregnancy.

The 38-year-old was attacked in May after a picture of her with a double chin appeared. This is her first advertisement since the birth of her daughter Aaradhya in November last year.

The pictures of the advertisement posted on the jewellers' Facebook page gathered positive comments from fans, lauding the beauty of the Indian diva.

Speculations, however, are that the pictures have been photoshopped. A report from Bollywood Life, a celebrity news website, also commented: "Her face looks wonderfully toned, and since only the upper portion of her body is visible, we can't figure out if she's really lost weight or if the pictures are heavily photoshopped."

Fans and the media got to see the actress on Sunday at the opening of the jewellers' store in Kochi city in India.

Although visibly plumper than her campaign pictures suggest, she nevertheless looked healthy and radiant.
