Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai separate evenings

Actor Abhishek Bachchan spent a peaceful evening in Mumbai with his mother, Jaya Bachchan, at actress Diana Penty's mom's birthday part, while actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made a spectacular appearance on the global stage at the Cannes Film Festival.

Aishwarya attracted attention at Cannes on Wednesday by wearing a stunning saree that was embellished with traditional jewellery and sindoor, signifying her pride in her culture.

Abhishek, meanwhile, was seen enjoying dinner with close family and friends back in Mumbai.

Images from their individual evenings have gone viral on social media, highlighting the sharp contrast between the subtle charm of a birthday dinner and the global red carpet glitz.



Celebrity photographer Yogen Shah, who lives in Mumbai, took pictures of the outing and posted them to Instagram. Abhishek and Diana Penty are seen in the photos arriving at a restaurant in Mumbai, followed by Jaya Bachchan and other guests.

Additionally, the group was spotted departing together, indicating a laid-back and enjoyable birthday party.

Diana Penty maintained a stylish yet laid-back look in a black strapless top and blue jeans, while Jaya Bachchan looked elegant in a straightforward green ethnic suit. Abhishek's choice of a casually stylish black shirt went well with the laid-back atmosphere of the event.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, on the other hand, introduced traditional Indian style to the world. As the global ambassador for L'Oréal Paris, she made her 22nd appearance on the Cannes red carpet.


The actor selected a handwoven white kadwa Banarasi saree that was modernised into a couture gown silhouette, a custom creation by Manish Malhotra.

The eye-catching ensemble had a gold and ivory colour scheme, a long train adorned with sequins and intricate gold embroidery that resembled a dupatta, and a sheer tissue drape.

Hand-embroidered zari and genuine chandi work adorned the intricately detailed saree, but Aishwarya's sindoor—bold and symbolic, standing out against the soft tones of her attire—was what really stole the show. Her ensemble was widely praised for its stunning fusion of modern haute couture and tradition.
