Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai posted a touching Facebook photo, which exhibited the former beauty queen shaking hands with the late anti-apartheid leader during the Miss World pageant (which she won) in 1994 which was held in South Africa that year.
The 40-year-old wrote about her experience meeting the late President in an article for the non-profit Beauty With a Purpose: "And what more could one ask for than an audience with President Mandela himself, a man deservedly admired and respected the world over for his contributions towards humanity."
World leaders paid their respects to Mandela in South Africa including U.S. President Barack Obama, Cuban President Raúl Castro (who shook Obama's hand in a historic moment) and former US President George W Bush.
