Aishwarya Rai to attend Cannes Film Festival for a special cause

Aishwarya Rai has completed her 10 long years at the prestigious Cannes film festival. But, this year's Cannes will witness a pinch of difference on Ash's side. Not only will she have daughter Aaradhya Bachchan along with her, but Aishwarya will be hailing the Cannes for a cause.

Aishwarya will help raise funds for fight against AIDS at an auction at Cannes. Talking to IANS, Aishwarya said, "This year, I am especially privileged as I also get to lend my support to a very important cause at the amfAR dinner, by helping raise funds for the fight against AIDS, at the AMFAR auction." "It makes me proud that L'Oreal Paris sponsors and supports our fight against AIDS through this special amfAR event at Cannes," she further added.

No wonder AIDS is one of the most dreadful diseases that have been spreading like a wild fire across the nation. Both the high-class and the poor-class have been victimised by this killer disease. Possibly, this is the right time for the Bollywood stars to pick social issues like AIDS and do some good for the society.
