Former Miss World and one of the most beautiful women in the world, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been conferred with the honor of being the Goodwill Ambassador for UNAIDS. The agency aims to use her services to educate young women and eradicate new HIV infections by 2015.

Speaking at the official ceremony in New York, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan said that motherhood has totally overwhelmed her and she prefers to be with her daughter all the time. She also expressed her commitment towards the cause and said she would remain focused towards achieving the goals of the agency.

The actor also insisted that she has not retired from the film industry but did not reveal her plans for the immediate future in the world of cinema.
