Aishwarya Rai at the premiere of The Da Vinci Code at the Cannes Film Festival in France

Aishwarya's birthday had been celebrated 33 times in the past but on Thursday, November 1, it was celebrated for the first time at the Bachchan residence 'Jalsa'. She got a unique gift from her husband on the day and gave an equally unique to the poor in Mumbai.

Just as the gift that she got from her husband could not be measured in money so also the gift that she gave to a hospital in Mumbai for treating the poor.

You have to be immensely in love with someone to gift that person what Abhishek gifted Aishwarya - a salsa dance!

After spending a day with Abhishek at the Taj Mahal on the eve of her birthday Aishwarya returned with the Bachchans to their Mumbai residence Jalsa early on Thursday, October 31.

Aishwarya's birthday party that evening was attended by family and close friends, including Anil and Tina Ambani, Sachin Tendulkar with wife Anjali, Kajol, Sonali Bendre and Goldie Behl, Pralhad Kakkar and Neeta Lulla, reports DNA.

The celebrations started around 11 pm and ended at around 3 am.

Abhishek's surprise birthday gift was unveiled at around 1:30am. Aishwarya donned a sea blue dress specially designed by close friend Neeta Lulla to receive it. Abhishek wore a black suite. The couple then cavorted to the saucy beats of the Salsa.

Earlier in the day Aishwarya had reportedly donated a C-Arm Image Intensifier costing around Rs 8.5 laks to the K K Bhabha Hospital in Bandra. The medical imaging device is used for orthopedic and neurological surgery and preferred by hospitals because it scatters less radiation.

Aishwarya's manager Hari Singh told the Mumbai Mirror that Aishwarya has been actively involved with Bhabha Hospital making donations for the treatment of the poor.
