Aishwarya attended the annual Lights on Women’s Worth awards hosted by L’Oréal Paris during the festival. Apart from fashion and glamour, the actress also shared inspiring advice for young actors in an interview with Brut India.

Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan got married in 2007 and welcomed Aaradhya in 2011. Over the years, fans have admired the close bond the family shares, and this latest Cannes moment has only made people love them even more.
