Aishwarya’s first Cannes appearance; confirms Bollywood comeback

Published

Amidst delays and a red carpet appearance that never happened, the world can finally seen Aishwarya Rai Bachchan descend onto the French Riviera for the first of several public outings during the Cannes Film Festival.
 
Appearing into two separate ensembles, Aishwarya played it safe during her media interaction, pictured first in an elevator at Hotel Martinez in a white pantsuit before donning a Roberto Cavalli blazer from the famed designer’s 2014 collection, teaming with white pants and ankle hugging sandals.


 
Pictured in the backdrop of the Riviera, the Bollywood diva painted an elegant picture, teaming it with tresses that were left loose, while a blood-red lipstick added to the French mystique.
 
Critics were largely in favour of the actress’ play-it-safe choice for the moment, with her official spokesperson stating: “Aishwarya will be on the red carpet on 20th, 21st and at AMFAR [gala] on the 22nd.”
 
The spokesperson further explained that Aishwarya’s schedules were thrown off due to the air control strike in France, which forced her to miss the gala on May 19th as the official brand ambassador for L’Oreal Paris.
 
The actress descended onto Cannes as news of her comeback films were announced in Mumbai.
 
Director Sanjay Gupta broke the news on Twitter, saying: “Yes guys it’s true. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will play the dynamic female lead in my action/thriller ‘Jazbaa’.”
 
The 40-year-old will also be starring in director Mani Ratnam’s next.
