It is celebration time for the Bachchan clan. With The Great Gatsby premiere, Cannes appearances and wedding anniversary just round the corner Aishwarya Rai, Aaradhya, Amitabh and Jaya are busy on their toes. However, Abhishek Bachchan seems to be missing the family action. Atleast as of now.

After being flooded with overwhelming love, support and fan frenzy during his stunning New York premiere appearance of ‘The Great Gatsby’ Amitabh Bachchan is now heading to the French Riviera.

Earlier Amitabh walked the red carpet in New York with wife Jaya Bachchan at the world premiere.

Jaya Bachchan, 65, looked elegant in a ivory cream saree and red and white shawl. Jaya's style was understated and looked perfect for the occasion.

It is highly anticipated that Mrs Bachachn will accompany Big B for the red carpet ceremony at Cannes Film Festival on May 15.

As Indian cinema's royal couple gear up to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary next month, they will be joined by daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at the Fest.

Aishwarya will be making her 12th consecutive appearance this year at Cannes. She will also be the guest of honour at a special evening celebrating 100 years of Indian cinema at Cannes on May 19, besides walking the red carpet on May 20.
 
Ash will walk the red carpet as the brand ambassador of L'Oreal. Aishwarya Rai's journey at Cannes has been synonymous with L'Oreal Paris, making her a global face for Indian cinema.

This also means the youngest member of the Bachchan family and Aishwarya's daughter Aaradhya will be at Cannes. In just a year, Aaradhya has become a seasoned traveler, accompanying her mother and father to Dubai, London, Chicago, New York and Vancouver.

This time at Cannes Aishwarya will be accompanied by her daughter Aradhya, her nanny, her mother Vrinda Rai, her hair and makeup stylist and her PR agent.

Last year, mommy Aishwarya couldn't keep Beti B away and Aaradhya was barely five months old when she visited Cannes. Now when Aaradhya is 17-months-old and has already travelled to Vancouver with Ash we hope to see her in Cannes stopping for the camera if not waving in the red carpet.
 
As the entire (almost) Bachchan clan raid Cannes, where will Abhishek Bachchan be?

It is rare to spot Aishwarya walking any red carpet event sans hubby dear. Abhishek has also been giving her company at Cannes for several years now.

But Abhishek is busy completing the third installment of YRF’s 'Dhoom' series, ‘Dhoom 3’.

Abhishek returns in his cop's role in 'Dhoom 3', chasing the super villain, with Uday Chopra as his sidekick. So in all liklelyhood Abhishek will not be there as he is working.

But with the entire family away at Cannes Abhishek might hurry through his schedule to catch up with the family for a small vacation if not at the red carpet.
