Thursday
is
here
and
guess
what
have
we
dug
out
for
you?
We
bring
to
you
the
throwback
pictures
of
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
from
Cannes
Film
Festival
which
had
become
the
talk
of
the
town
for
all
the
hilarious
reasons.
Four
years
ago,
on
the
same
day,
Aishwarya
had
walked
the
red
carpet
of
Cannes
Film
Festival
in
Michael
Cinco
gown,
leaving
every
fashion
critic
astonished.
While
her
look
in
an
ice-coloured
ball
gown
was
nothing
less
than
iconic,
it
had
also
kickstarted
a
meme
fest
on
Twitter.
For
the
unversed,
despite
kickstarting
a
meme
fest
on
Twitter
with
her
look,
Aishwarya
was
praised
widely
in
2017
for
her
heavenly
appearance
and
reminded
many
of
Disney
princesses.
In
fact,
no
other
Bollywood
actresses'
Cannes
looks
grabbed
netizens'
attention
like
Aishwarya.
No
wonder
Aishwarya
is
often
referred
to
as
the
'Queen
of
Cannes'.
With
respect
to
work,
Aishwarya
will
next
be
seen
in
Mani
Ratnam's
Ponniyin
Selvan.
She
will
reportedly
be
seen
in
a
double
role
in
the
film,
which
is
an
adaptation
of
a
Tamil
epic
novel
of
the
same
name.
In
the
film,
Aishwarya
is
expected
to
be
seen
as
Nandini,
the
wife
of
Periya
Pazhuvettaraiyar
(a
role
reportedly
played
by
Telugu
actor
Mohan
Babu),
and
her
mute
mother
Queen
Mandakini
Devi.
The
film
is
being
bankrolled
by
Lyca
Productions.
Apart
from
Ponniyin
Selvan,
Aishwarya
has
not
made
any
official
announcement
about
her
other
upcoming
projects.
