Candid Pics: Stunning Aishwarya Rai At French Riviera Cannes

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is enjoying her stay here for the 68th Cannes International Film Festival, says she loves to indulge in ice creams and croissants at the French Riviera.

Check out the candid pics of the actress who looks absolutely stunning in a black outfit.

While she is missing out on enjoying a soothing swim in the luxurious pool at the Hotel Martinez due to her packed schedule, the 41-year-old actress always ensures a trip to grab an ice cream and croissants from a local vendor here.

"I know there is a red carpet here but I enjoy my croissants and ice creams. I enjoy life and live in the moment. You should do it too," Aishwarya said in a behind-the-scenes video made by cosmetic brand L'Oreal Paris, which she is representing at the film extravaganza.

On her trip to Cannes, Aishwarya is accompanied by her three-and-half-year-old daughter Aaradhya, and mother Vrinda.

The 'Devdas' actress says she always sneaks out of her hotel along with her daughter to spend time together on a carousel in a park close by, away from the paparazzi.

Meanwhile, the former beauty queen, who has been making fashion statements on the Cannes red carpet, also participated in a United Nations panel discussion on May 16, followed by a media event on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, she launched the first look of her comeback film Jazbaa at the festival.

Jazbaa, directed by Sanjay Gupta, is produced by Essel Vision, White Feather Films and Vikings Entertainment and is set to release worldwide on October 9.
