Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Stuns at Cannes in Couture Cape Adorned with Bhagavad Gita Verse
After turning heads in a classic Banarasi sari, Aishwarya wowed the crowd on Thursday in a breathtaking black couture gown by the talented Gaurav Gupta.
The gown, aptly named ‘Heiress of Clam,’ hugged her silhouette beautifully, showcasing an exquisite combination of hand-embroidered silver, gold, charcoal, and black threads.
However, the pièce de résistance was the Banarasi brocade cape that accompanied her gown, a masterfully woven piece from Varanasi, rich in texture and significance.
Adorned with a Sanskrit shloka from the Bhagavad Gita, the cape lent a profound spiritual dimension to the glamorous festival environment. This harmonious blend of high fashion and ancient Indian wisdom truly distinguished Aishwarya, reminding everyone that style can convey meaningful narratives that celebrate India’s vibrant cultural legacy.

This moment was more than just a fashion statement; it was a powerful declaration of identity. Adding to the heartwarming scene, Aishwarya’s daughter Aaradhya joined her, looking chic in a black outfit. Sweet moments captured on social media revealed Aaradhya gently holding her mother’s hand, eliciting admiration from fans worldwide.
Just a day prior, Aishwarya showcased her roots again, gracing the Cannes red carpet in a stunning Manish Malhotra Banarasi saree, complete with traditional sindoor. This look evoked nostalgia, reminiscent of her iconic debut at Cannes in 2002 when she first enchanted audiences in a yellow saree alongside Shah Rukh Khan.
Aishwarya’s presence at Cannes consistently balances timeless elegance with cultural pride, and this year was no different.

During a conversation with comedian Tanmay Bhat on his YouTube channel, Rhea recalled her days as an MTV VJ. She said she was earning around Rs.3 lakh as a VJ when she was just 17 or 18 years old.
Rhea said she felt very rich at that age. She revealed that she spent her last salary on “fixing” her face.
The actress made the revelation while comparing an old photograph with her recent appearance. Her statement left the other members of the panel amused.
Rhea also spoke about the pressure to look good in the entertainment industry. She said there was a time when only good-looking people were allowed to speak.
When Tanmay Bhat jokingly asked if he should also get his face “fixed”, Rhea said everyone should consider a facelift. She added that technology has advanced significantly.
Rhea began her career as a VJ before entering the film industry. She made her acting debut with the Telugu film Tuneega Tuneega in 2012. She later made her Bollywood debut with Mere Dad Ki Maruti in 2013.
Her personal life came under intense media attention after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020. Rhea faced allegations and was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau during a drugs-related investigation.
