Ash at Cannes, Sonam can’t

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan flew off to Cannes on Tuesday morning, and since she’s the brand ambassador of L’Oreal, she will be walking the lal galeecha.

For a change, there will be no debates as to which Bollywood beauty is going to walk the red carpet at this year’s Cannes International Film Festival, which started yesterday, states Rapchik Rajni as she sinks into the beanbag near my hammock.



Stop riddling me, I tell her and she says that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan flew off to Cannes on Tuesday morning, and since she’s the brand ambassador of L’Oreal, she will be walking the lal galeecha.



And Sonam Kapoor, who’s also associated with the same brand, won’t be conspicuous by her absence, saysRajni.

What do you mean, I thunder and she reminds me of last year’s confusion when both the abhinetris were said to walk the red carpet, until the organisers reportedly clarified that even though Sonam would be present at the fest, she wouldn’t be doing the honours. So Rajni goes on to add that Ms Kapoor is not flying to Cannes this year… More so since she’s busy shooting with Akshay Kumar for Anees Bazmee’s Thank You in Canada. Tsk tsk.
