Aishwarya Rai has put an end to the speculation surrounding her potential absence from the Cannes Film Festival. The actress was spotted at the Mumbai airport with her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, as they headed to the French Riviera to attend the film festival.
Aishwarya and Aaradhya were seen twinning in black ensembles, with the actress opting for a structured black blazer and straight-fit black office pants. Aaradhya complemented her mother's look in a coordinated all-black ensemble.
Aishwarya was spotted greeting the paparazzi with warm smiles and even paused to pose for a picture with a young fan before heading inside the airport. She will be attending the film festival as an ambassador of L'Oreal.
This comes after speculation around Aishwarya skipping the Cannes Film Festival gained momentum, especially after fans noticed her absence from this year's L'Oréal promotional campaigns at the festival.
Aishwarya will make her red carpet appearance on the closing day of the Cannes Film Festival. She first appeared at the festival in 2002 and has been a regular attendee since 2003.
The actress was last seen in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan: Part 2, for which she won the Best Actress in a Leading Role (Critics) award at the South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA) in Dubai.
