Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has finally put an end to weeks of speculation surrounding her appearance at the 79th Cannes Film Festival after she was seen departing for France with daughter Aaradhya Bachchan.
The actor was photographed at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport dressed in coordinated black outfits with Aaradhya as the two briefly acknowledged photographers before making their way inside the terminal. Videos of their airport appearance quickly spread across social media platforms, exciting fans who had been eagerly waiting for confirmation of her attendance at this year’s festival.
For several days, uncertainty over Aishwarya’s Cannes plans had dominated online discussions. The buzz intensified earlier this month after beauty brand L'Oreal Paris released a promotional campaign linked to Cannes featuring several global ambassadors, including Alia Bhatt, Viola Davis, Eva Longoria and Helen Mirren. Fans quickly noticed that Aishwarya, a long-standing face associated with Cannes and the brand, was absent from the promotional visuals.
The omission triggered widespread speculation online, with many wondering whether the actor would skip the prestigious event this year. Social media users repeatedly questioned the brand about her absence, prompting a response from the company assuring fans that Aishwarya had never missed the festival over the years.
Known for her much-awaited red carpet appearances and elaborate fashion statements at Cannes, Aishwarya has remained one of India’s most recognised faces at the international film festival for over two decades. Her arrival for the closing ceremony is now expected to draw major attention from global media and fans alike.
