Bollywood Gossip: Bollywood Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will soon be headed to France for the 65th Cannes Film Festival, from May 16 to 27.This year will mark Ash’s 11th consecutive appearance at the festival.
As every year, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will attend the gala as the brand ambassador of an international cosmetic line she endorses. She will be accompanied by her mother Brinda Rai and will reportedly fly down with her five- month- old daughter Aaradhya, although hubby Abhishek Bachchan will not accompany her this time.
Incidentally, Ash will be representing the cosmetic brand along with two other Indian faces, Freida Pinto and Sonam Kapoor. This will be Freida’s second appearance at Cannes. However, Freida will attend the festival alone because boyfriend- actor Dev Patel is busy promoting his new film, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel .
Although Aishwarya Rai Bachchan hasn’t zeroed in on what she will wear on the Cannes red carpet, sources said she might choose an ethnic outfit by Indian designer. Her recent appearance at the party thrown by Mukesh and Nita Ambani at Antilla brought her under the scanner. Several fashionistas and her detractors lambasted her for making a public appearance despite her increased weight and bloated face that she acquired post pregnancy.With less than a week to go for Cannes, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will obviously have no time to get in shape for the film festival.
She will have no option but to flaunt XLsize designer wear on the red carpet. “ Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is enjoying motherhood and is not worried about how she looks,” her spokesperson said. “ Aishwarya will take her daughter along because she cannot stay away from the newborn,” confirmed the actress’s spokesperson.
