Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently gave fans a rare and intimate look into her experience at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. The global star, who attended the prestigious event as a long-standing ambassador for L'Oréal Paris, took to Instagram to share a touching behind-the-scenes (BTS) video that highlights not just her preparation for the red carpet but also moments of love, family, and artistic brilliance.
In the video, Aishwarya is seen donning a custom-made white saree by designer Manish Malhotra, paired with a stunning 500-carat ruby necklace. The intricately detailed ensemble, complete with traditional sindoor in her hair parting, was a visual treat and a bold statement that caught widespread attention. The footage captures Manish personally working on the design and fittings, showcasing the craftsmanship and effort that went into creating the timeless look.
What made the video even more special was the presence of Aishwarya’s daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. Seen sharing joyful moments backstage with her mother and Manish Malhotra, Aaradhya’s presence added warmth and authenticity to the glamorous affair. The mother-daughter duo posed affectionately before stepping onto the iconic red carpet, reaffirming Aishwarya’s enduring grace both as a superstar and a doting mother.
The background score for the BTS video was a heartfelt surprise — “Tere Bina,” the romantic ballad from Guru (2007), the film in which Aishwarya starred opposite husband Abhishek Bachchan. The choice of song, coupled with Aishwarya wearing sindoor, subtly addressed ongoing speculation about the couple’s relationship, silencing divorce rumors and instead celebrating their love story. It is worth noting that Guru holds sentimental value for the couple, as Abhishek reportedly proposed to Aishwarya after the film’s premiere in New York.

Fans were quick to flood the comments section with praise and admiration. “What a goddess!!” wrote one follower, while another commented, “Queen of Cannes.” Many fans applauded her statement-making sindoor, and one described her presence as “poetry in motion — surreal, serene, eternally elegant.”
With this being her 22nd appearance at Cannes, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan continues to blend tradition with high fashion, emotion with elegance, and always leaves a lasting impression on the world stage.
