Recently,
their
was
a
news
about
the
Slumdog
Millionaire
girl
Freida
Pinto
replacing
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
as
the
face
to
the
cosmetic
brand
L'Oreal
Paris.
However,
the
firm
have
denied
any
such
rumours
saying
that
Aish
continues
to
be
the
brand
ambassador
of
L'Oreal.
These
rumours
cropped
when
Ms
Pinto
was
seen
featuring
in
the
L'Oreal
Paris
New
Year
2011's
commercial
ad.
The
official
statement
of
the
firm
stated
that
they
were
shocked
when
they
read
in
some
of
the
media
write-ups
that
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
has
been
replaced
as
the
face
of
the
brand.
They
added
that
L'Oreal
Paris
confirms
that
the
piece
of
information
is
totally
untrue
and
Aishwarya
continues
to
be
the
brand
ambassador
as
she
has
been
with
them
since
the
year
2000.
The
statement
also
cleared
that
as
Aishwarya
was
busy
with
some
of
her
prior
commitments
thus
couldn't
be
their
for
the
shoots
of
the
commercial
ad
for
New
Year.
Praising
the
dignity
of
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan,
the

stated
that
Aishwarya
is
one
of
the
most
“iconic
women" and

Internationally
for
some
range
of
products
like
