CANNES
Aishwarya Rai, now a Cannes veteran, turned a head turner on as many as three occasions at the Cannes film fiesta in French Riviera. But, it was Sonam Kapoor who was most impressive on the red carpet. Mallika Sherawat’s knack for eye-popping dresses continued with the see-through gown that revealed the outline of her undergarments.

Sonam Kapoor sashayed down the red carpet in Jean Paul Gaultier couture. The lady looked stunningly gorgeous in a dress that seemed tailor-made for her, causing a flutter among the paparazzi.

Aishwarya Rai walked the red carpet on two occasions. On the first day, she looked dazzling in a white-coloured, one-shouldered Elie Saab outfit that had the heavy hemline scraping the red carpet. The second day of the Cannes Film Festival 2011 saw her wearing an icy gown in white and blue by Armani. The strapless gown was contemporary in silhouette and Aishwarya completed her look with a bold, big watch which looked more like a cuff, and a clutch in steel tone.

Exclusivity has always been the buzzword in tinsel town. And the same holds true for Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan. The story goes like this, Ash’s ex-international celebrity manager Simone Sheffield, wanted to represent actor Mallika Sherawat, along with Rai-Bachchan, in the international movie world. “But

I couldn’t do it because there was a conflict,” says Simone. “Ash preferred me not to represent anyone else from India as long as I was working with her.” Ash’s India-based spokesperson, though, calls the news “totally untrue.”
Often touted as India’s best import to Hollywood, Ash is no longer associated with Simone. After nearly ten years, she has officially terminated her relationship with Aishwarya as her international representative. “I really don’t want to get into what happened between us. But it was the right time to part ways. Aishwarya and I have worked long enough making it a wonderful association. I am happy that I introduced her to the international market and wish her well in life,” says the LA-based celebrity manager.

Three of India’s hottest women became a cynosure of all eyes at the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival

While Deepika Padukone made India proud with her sari-clad red carpet appearance, Mallika Sherawat worked the crowd with her daring ‘props’.

But as usual it was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who grabbed the maximum eyeballs with her red carpet appearances as the global face of L’Oreal.

Here’s a recap of what the 36-year-old former beauty queen wore. Don’t forget to vote for the best look at the end of this slide show.

Lavender beauty

Aishwarya opened the festival in style with this fully embroidered tulle and mousseline gown from Lebanese designer Elie Saab.

Round solitaires adorned her ears and a buffon hairstyle completed the look.

Cannes Film Festival is a revered place for the film fraternity as the entire globe breaks linguistic & cultural barriers to showcase their talent & art on this recognized podium. So naturally, besides Deepika Padukone and Mallika Sherawat, scores of beauties walk the carpet of Cannes from around the Earth.

While, it’s difficult to single out one particular lady as being the most beautiful, Aishwarya Rai, certainly, deserves a special mention for elevating the beauty quotient of Cannes by leaps and dozens.
Cannes’ carpet has been fortunate enough to be stepped on to by someone who has done the unthinkable. In her quest for perfection, Aishwarya has dignified the word ‘beauty’, shattered the sky limits and disintegrated all rivals from her presence.
For 8 years, she has been ruling the Cannes and despite age catching up fast, she walks out to quench zillions of pleading eyes, feeds the cameras and comes back unscathed for another mauling, another year.
A perfect blend of class & confidence with a touch of Indianness and a drape of west, she has ceased to remain mortal. Elevated to the status of deity, she has never failed to mesmerize. So hypnotic is her unearthly charm that even history books have risen in ovation.

Looks like all beauty queens believe Tamil Cinema is the best place to kickstart their film career! Almost every Miss India in the recent past has made her presence felt down South before embarking on her Bollywood journey.

Aishwarya Rai debuted in Iruvar and continued to appear in Tamil films on and off (Jeans, Kandukondein Kandukondein). Now she will be seen after several years in Shankar’s Rajinikanth starrer Enthiran.

Sushmita Sen too tried her luck in South Indian films. She appeared opposite Nagarjuna in Rakshagan. Priyanka Chopra too made her cine debut with the Tamil film Tamizhan opposite Ilayathalapathy Vijay and Lara Dutta appeared with Action King Arjun in Aarasatchi.

The trend still continues, not only with beauty queens, but even Bollywood actresses doing more than shaking a leg or two in South Indian films. We have seen Kajol, Tabu, Sameera Reddy, Bipasha Basu, Kangna Ranaut, Tanisha, Riya Sen, Neetu Chandra and of course Mallika Sherawat in Kollywood. And then we have Genelia and Tamannaah who debuted in Hindi but found name and fame in Telugu and Tamil.

Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have apparently agreed to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show.The married couple, who are currently shooting Mani Ratnam’s Raavana together, will share the screen with the famous talkshow host in a Los Angeles studio.

Aishwarya will be making her second appearance on Oprah after giving the 55-year-old a pink sari in 2006. Earlier this year, Winfrey cancelled a visit to India with Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat because of a swine flu scare.

The animosity between most actresses is obvious in Bollywood but sensuous Mallika Sherawat not only likes getting compliments but she is also generous when it comes to ‘sshowering’ praises.

The voluptuous beauty recently tweeted about Aishwarya Rai when a fan wrote, “Mallika, you sure are making waves … and we all thought Ash will be doing it.” In reply she tweets, “Thanks, but Ash makes waves all her own. She’s one of a kind!”

We can say Mallika is definitely one of a kind too, the first B-town babe to be bestowed with an Honorary Citizenship and Official Resolution by the City of Los Angeles. It was on Independence Day when Mallika received the honour during a ceremony at Los Angeles City Hall. “First Indian actor to get a “recognition” by City of LA. Not bad, eh?” scribbles @MallikaLA.

Way to go girl!

ONCE THEY had good innings in Bollywood. They were young. They were never actresses but stars. But age caught up with them.

Refusing to give up on Bollywood, although it has given up on them, they try gimmicks to stick on.

Instead of growing up (mentally) and moving on, they simply will remain here by hook or crook. They refuse to hang their boots and welcome the next phase whatever it may be.

With their fewer or non-existent films, they resort to gimmicks to be in limelight. The current trend is to hit the networking circuit hard and be on page three.

This does make news if not careers. Socialising has its own fringe benefits.

Their movies fail big time. Now with hardly anything on their platter, is it anything surprising to find them becoming socialites and on the networking sites.
