Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been slaying the red carpet at the Cannes International Film Festival. Be it media interviews or film screening, Aishwarya surprised and pleased everyone with her stunning dresses. 

Here she is again, on the way to present her 2002 movie Devdas at Cannes. That's right, the gorgeous lady of Bollywood will present Devdas at a big screen open to the public on the Martinez beach, as part of the festival. This was the very first movie of Aishwarya that premiered at the film festival and Aishwarya will be reliving the moment in all its glory.

Along with Devdas, the Outdoor Cinema will showcase films selected and introduced in-person by six ambassadors of the cosmetic brand that Aishwarya endorses. Commenting about her first experience Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shared, “We attended the festival not just as artists but as proud representatives of Indian cinema, showcasing a film that meant so much to us. The kind of reception we got for the movie was truly overwhelming and I will cherish it all my life.”

At the screening today Aishwarya said, "Thank you for coming, and thank you for all your good wishes. It means a lot to me. Thats what makes us do what we do, with such commitment. An actor can only have that craft to experience the fulfilment and thats what you give to us. It means the world  to us as artists. So thank you, Devdas is a very special film. When I came to the Cannes film festival to it, I had the most overwhelming response to our work in the film. We were amazed to arrive in a horse-drawn carriage at the red carpet. It was such a privelege because it was the first time an Indian film was given that kind of a screening here. The ovation that follows remains etched in my memory. Thank you for underlining the 70ths year of the Cannes Film Festival."

Aishwarya is seen donning a beautiful, blingy outfit for the event. Earlier in the day, Aishwarya had sported a ravishing, red Ralph and Russo creation. The actress looked breathtakingly beautiful in it and got a thumbs up from fashion police. 

All eyes are on Aishwarya to see how she will fare at the Devdas screening. We are sure Aishwarya will rock it as well!
