From Anushka Sharma to Richa Chadha, celebs react to Aishwarya Rai's SINDOOR LOOK at Cannes

Aishwarya Rai's presence on yesterday's red carpet was marked by a regal white saree, yet it was the vibrant streak of sindoor adorning her hair's parting that truly captured attention. Beyond the widespread admiration for her Cannes ensemble, fellow celebrities have also voiced their appreciation for the 'Devdas' star's elegant appearance.

Actress Richa Chadha wrote in the comments section, 'Queen'. While Anushka Sharma, Bhumi Pednekar, Vaani Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Masaba Gupta, Sophie Choudry pressed the heart button on the picture. Singer Harshdeep Kaur also wrote,"Ethereal."

Himanshi Khurana, and Kusha Kapila, among others from the entertainment world, showed their admiration for Aishwarya's sindoor look by reacting with love to her picture.

Aishwarya Rai's Cannes appearance, featuring sindoor, sparked two interpretations among her fans. Some social media users saw it as a bold statement, addressing rumors about her marriage with Abhishek Bachchan.

Alternatively, some online users proposed that Aishwarya's sindoor could subtly allude to 'Operation Sindoor,' the Indian Armed Forces' response against terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Returning to the Cannes Film Festival red carpet this year, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan celebrated her 22nd appearance at the event. As a global ambassador for L'Oréal Paris, she represented India, wearing an ivory sari paired with traditional jewelry and visible sindoor, a look that celebrated Indian culture. Her sindoor also seemed to pay tribute to the Indian Army, following the Operation Sindoor, which rekindled patriotic sentiments in the South Asian region on May 7th.

She greeted photographers with a namaste, smiled warmly, and waved to the crowd, even blowing kisses to her fans. The sari included a long lace pallu and a dramatic train. Her appearance at the premiere of "The History of Sound" generated significant buzz at the event and across social media, with photos and videos quickly going viral.

In her professional life, Aishwarya Rai recently starred in Mani Ratnam's 'Ponniyin Selvan: II,' reprising her role as Nandini, with no upcoming projects announced. Simultaneously, Abhishek Bachchan appeared in the Amazon Prime series 'Be Happy' and is slated for 'Housefull 5' and 'Raja Shivaji.'
