Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's Cannes 2025 look took the internet by storm.
Radiating timeless elegance, Aishwarya's radiant base was created using the tinted serum foundation in shade rosy light. The lightweight formula enhanced her skin's natural glow, offering long-lasting coverage with a luminous finish. Her lips were dressed in nude satin lipstick, adding understated sophistication to the bold look.
Her eyes were the definition of drama, framed with the mascara for lifted, voluminous lashes, while the gel automatic liner in intense black and matte liquid liner in black brought sharp precision and long-wear intensity.
But it wasn't just the makeup that captivated the global stage, Aishwarya's ensemble was a visual meditation in ivory, rose gold, and silver, crafted as a tribute to Indian heritage. She wore a handwoven Kadwa ivory Banarasi handloom saree by Manish Malhotra, designed using the intricate Kadwa brocade technique from Varanasi. Each motif was hand-crafted with multiple shuttles and threads, adorned with real chandi (silver) zari embroidery.
Draped elegantly with a sheer tissue dupatta featuring gold and silver zardozi edges, the look broke conventional red carpet codes, presenting the saree not as nostalgia, but as contemporary couture.
Paired with heirloom high jewellery from Manish Malhotra Jewellery, including over 500 carats of Mozambique rubies and uncut diamonds in 18k gold, the look redefined red carpet opulence. The ruby choker, statement rings, and multi-strand necklaces echoed the language of textile and craftsmanship as symbols of power and identity.

A vision in ivory and rubies, Aishwarya didn't just walk the red carpet - she owned it, reminding the world why she remains the eternal queen of Cannes.
And at the centre of it all, a bold swipe of deep red sindoor, worn proudly in her centre-parted hair. It wasn't just a beauty statement - it was heritage, womanhood, and sovereignty in a single, stunning stroke.

Hera Pheri 3 Producer Thanks Akshay Kumar, Sajid Nadiadwala For Paresh Rawal's Return
Last Updated: Firoz Nadiadwala confirms Hera Pheri 3 with Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal. He thanks Sajid Nadiadwala and Akshay for reuniting the iconic trio. The chaos, the nostalgia, and the unmatched comic timing of Hera Pheri are all set to return—with the original trio intact. One of Indian cinema's most beloved franchises, Hera Pheri 3, is back on track after a brief rollercoaster. Just months after Paresh Rawal sent shockwaves across the internet by announcing his exit from the film, the actor has now officially rejoined the cast, restoring the much-loved trifecta with Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. Earlier this year, reports confirmed that veteran director Priyadarshan—the man behind the first film—would helm the third installment, with shooting expected to begin by the end of 2025. But fans were left heartbroken in May when Rawal pulled out of the project, triggering uncertainty around the reunion. Now, that heartbreak has turned into celebration. In a heartening twist, producer Firoz Nadiadwala has revealed that the reunion was made possible by none other than Sajid Nadiadwala and Ahmed Khan, who personally intervened to resolve creative and interpersonal differences between the team members. 'With the love, respect, and kind guidance of my brother Sajid Nadiadwala and Mr. Ahmed Khan, the Hera Pheri family is back together," shared Firoz. 'Sajid put in a lot of personal time and effort—over several days—to mend things. We share a bond of over 50 years." Firoz also acknowledged Akshay Kumar's key role in reviving the film. 'Akshay ji has been nothing but kind, affectionate, and supportive. We've had a strong bond since 1996. He didn't think twice about sitting down with his childhood friend Sajid to sort things out." The reunion was a full-circle moment, with Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, and Priyadarshan also expressing unwavering support to ensure the film finally materializes. 'This will be another classic entertainer in the Hera Pheri franchise," promised Firoz. 'The family is together again." With Welcome To The Jungle—another madcap Firoz Nadiadwala production—currently shooting, all eyes are now on Hera Pheri 3, expected to go on floors by the end of 2025. And if the backstage drama is anything to go by, the on-screen madness will be worth the wait. First Published:

Aishwarya Rai once romanced with Salman Khan after breaking up with him, was involved in this intimate scene, film is…
It's been over two decades since Sanjay Leela Bhansali gave us all a cinematic masterpiece, Devdas . Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Madhuri Dixit, the 2002 epic became a global sensation, celebrated for its grandeur, timeless music, and emotionally charged performances. But very few know, Salman Khan was also part of this iconic film… just not in the way you'd expect. The hidden cameo Though Devdas is remembered for Shah Rukh and Aishwarya's searing chemistry, film critic Anupama Chopra's book quietly reveals a forgotten anecdote: Salman Khan appeared in a scene during the song More Piya . The moment is romantic—a barefoot Aishwarya, a thorn, and a gentle gesture. But here's the twist: the scene was performed with no visible faces. Sanjay Leela Bhansali rolled the camera During the filming of More Piya , Salman Khan, despite a recent breakup with Aishwarya, visited the set out of friendship with Bhansali. As Shah Rukh and Aishwarya were preparing for the scene, Salman reportedly stepped forward and enacted the moment himself, guiding the actors. In a spontaneous decision, Bhansali let the camera roll as Salman delicately enacted Dev removing a thorn from Paro's foot. Though only hands and feet are shown, the final cut of the film features this emotionally nuanced shot—an intimate moment captured between two former lovers, without showing their faces. This became the last time Salman and Aishwarya shared screen space. Their relationship had ended by the time Devdas was being shot. Still, Salman's presence on set and this quiet contribution speak volumes about the emotional layers behind the camera. For Bhansali, perhaps it was cinema above all. For viewers, it remains an untold chapter—until now.
