Fans of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wait all year long for her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival red carpet and this year too, fans have been waiting for a glimpse of Aish at the French film festival. On Wednesday, Aishwarya walked the red carpet in a stunning white saree as she completed her look with a collection of ruby necklaces. She completed her look with a thick line of sindoor (vermillion) on her head. In some parts of India, sindoor is worn by married women to signify that their marital status.

Aishwarya waved at her fans, and also posed with a namaste as she walked the carpet. Fans were elated to see the star and quickly labeled her as the “Queen of Cannes.” One of her fans wrote, “Now that’s what you call a comeback ❤️❤️ Queen of Cannes for a reason ❤️” Another fan, who seemed to be very pleased with Aishwarya’s fashion here, wrote, “Finally she slayed and broke her curse. Oh my god! It feels like we just won a war.” In the past, Aishwarya has experimented a lot with her looks at the film festival and while some of them have been crowd pleasers, some of her looks have also drawn a polarising response.

Aishwarya first attended the festival for her film Devdas with Shah Rukh Khan and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. “It wasn’t for an individual but the entire team of ‘Devdas’ and it meant a lot to us because it was quite unexpected. Because we were showcasing our film and getting that kind of reception that we did was truly overwhelming. So the first makes it so memorable imagine to have first experience and one like that so that is something and I don’t think anyone in the world can take away from us and that is something that will always make us feel thankful for having that experience for us to cherish and recount forever,” she told IANS a few years ago.

The actor and husband Abhishek Bachchan have been surrounded by divorce rumours for months. While the duo has responded with a dignified silence, Aishwarya’s sindoor look as being seen as a response to the naysayers.
