The Mexican hottie had no more than just a few moments to spare for the Bollywood beauty queen.

It's not usual for a foreign actress to create more news in Bollywood than some of its desi beauties. Be it her flaming chemistry with co-star Hrithik Roshan in Kites , or her insistence on Hrithik smooching, instead of just kissing, her in a scene in the film, Barbara Mori has been the subject of many a scoop from B-town.

Now, the Mexican brunette has done something unexpected. She reportedly cold-shouldered Aishwarya Rai when the two ladies met briefly at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival in the south of France.

Barbara is at the fest to unveil 'Kites' along with Hrithik, director Anurag Basu and producer Rakesh Roshan . Ash is there as the ambassador of a cosmetic brand with hubby Abhishek Bachchan .

Incidentally, Barbara, Hrithik, Ash and Abhi are staying at the same hotel – Hotel Martinez. Since Hrithik, Ash and Abhi are very close to each other (having worked in Dhoom 2 and Jodhaa Akbar ), it was natural for them to meet and mingle at the fest.

But Ash's meeting with Barbara wasn't as cordial as expected.

Reports say when Barbara met Ash, she just said a brief "hello" and quickly excused herself, saying she had to rush to an event. Now Ash, who's used to adulation, would not have expected this from Barbara.

But later Hrithik reportedly explained to Ash why Barbara couldn't spare time for her.

Sonam Kapoor snubbed by Aishwarya Rai?

Sonam Kapoor is a disappointed girl nowadays. Her dream of walking the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival has been crushed.

It's official now. L'Oreal, the cosmetic brand, has clearly stated that its new brand ambassador Sonam won't be part of the L'Oreal Paris dream team and she has been asked not to go to Cannes. The statement comes just days after Sonam had expressed her exuberance over walking the red carpet with Aishwarya Rai , the brand's longtime ambassador, at Cannes.

What has caused this turnaround on the part of the brand is still a mystery, but the buzz is that Aishwarya used her influence to push Sonam out of the picture at Cannes. According to grapevine, Ash did not want to share an international platform like Cannes with Sonam, who's still a rookie, and expressed her displeasure with L'Oreal, after which the brand dropped Sonam from the Cannes dream team.


This sounds highly unlikely because Ash is at a place where she's not insecure of anyone. And according to a statement by a spokesperson of L'Oreal, Sonam was advised not to go to Cannes because "there were adverse reports in certain sections of the media after some comments by Sonam Kapoor, which were presented out of context."

It appears that there were perhaps some statements by Sonam that did her in.

The brand's spokesperson told a news daily: "L'Oreal is extremely mindful of the image of its spokespeople, in the same way as it expects them to respect its image."

So is it Ash, or Sonam herself who's responsible for the cancelled trip? Well, the mystery continues for now.

after reading that i dont aish would even care...!

Why Sonam did not go to Cannes?

Is Ash responsible?

I mean any one of these ladies should come out clear it. This makes Ash looks sooooo negative.

The media is saying "Bend it like Ash"....
