Will she or won’t she? Well, after all the speculation surrounding Aishwarya Rai’s absence in the first week of the 79th Cannes Film Festival, the global star put all speculation to rest by making a spectacular entry on the red carpet in the final week of the prestigious event, dressed in a deep blue metallic gown with a mermaid finish, inspired by light and energy. This was Aishwarya’s 24th year at the French Riviera! The actress has been a regular at Cannes since 2002, when she first walked the red carpet alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Other Bollywood stars who made waves at Cannes this year were Alia Bhatt — in her second appearance — Tara Sutaria (in her debut appearance there), Aditi Rao Hydari, Huma Qureshi, and Urvashi Rautela.
