Aishwarya Rai has consistently impressed with her stunning appearances at the Cannes Film Festival since her debut alongside Shah Rukh Khan in 2002 for the film Devdas. Over the years, the former Miss World has become synonymous with glamour at the event.
This year, on Wednesday, she once again turned heads by wearing an elegant ivory saree that embraced traditional Indian aesthetics. While her outfit made a strong style statement, it was her application of sindoor that truly captured the public’s attention.
Fans weren’t the only ones admiring her look—celebrities also joined in to praise her. Stars like Anushka Sharma, Bhumi Pednekar, Vaani Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Masaba Gupta, Sophie Choudry, Nikita Dutta (The Jewel Thief), Himanshi Khurana, and Kusha Kapila all reacted to her Instagram post with love. Actress Richa Chadha, a known admirer of Aishwarya, referred to her as a ‘Queen’.
Aishwarya’s sindoor look has sparked widespread discussion online. While some interpret it as a tribute to the soldiers involved in Operation Sindoor, others believe it may be her subtle way of addressing rumors about her alleged separation from husband Abhishek Bachchan.
In terms of upcoming work, Aishwarya hasn’t announced any new projects since her last appearance in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: II, where she played the role of Nandini. Abhishek, meanwhile, was recently seen in Amazon Prime’s Be Happy and is set to appear in Housefull 5 and Raja Shivaji.
