Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Returns From Cannes 2025 With Daughter Aaradhya
Mumbai: Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan returned to Mumbai on Friday night after representing India at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
She was accompanied by her daughter Aaradhya, and the duo was seen greeting the paparazzi warmly outside the Mumbai airport.
Aaradhya, holding onto her mother, also smiled at the crowd as they made their way to the car.
The mother-daughter duo coordinated their outfits, both dressed in black.
Aishwarya wore a sleek black top paired with matching tights and a stylish coat, while Aaradhya donned a black top, denim jeans, and a black jacket.
At Cannes, Aishwarya continued her legacy of iconic red carpet moments. On the first day, she embraced a traditional look, wearing a regal ivory saree with a dramatic pallu and lace trail.
She completed the ensemble with a layered ruby necklace and a dash of sindoor, adding a cultural touch to her appearance.
For her second outing at the festival, she made a bold fashion statement in a custom creation by designer Gaurav Gupta.
The ensemble featured a striking black shimmer gown accompanied by a voluminous white cape.
The Banarasi brocade cape was handwoven in Varanasi. The cape stood out not just for its rich texture but also because it was inscribed with a Sanskrit shloka from the Bhagavad Gita.
Meanwhile, Aishwarya was last seen in 'Ponniyin Selvan: II' (2023), directed by Mani Ratnam, where she starred alongside a stellar cast including Vikram, Karthi, Trisha Krishnan, and Sobhita Dhulipala. She has not yet announced her next project.

When Amitabh Bachchan recalled Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's endurance during Aaradhya Bachchan's birth: ‘She had to struggle…'
Few may remember, but soon after Aaradhya Bachchan's birth in November 2011, Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan stepped out of their Mumbai residence, Jalsa, to meet the waiting media and share the joyful news. During that brief yet heartfelt interaction, Amitabh spoke about the baby's features. 'It seems to me that she looks like Aishwarya. But as you all know, children's faces change daily. I still believe she looks like Aishwarya. Some people in the family think she resembles Jaya or Abhishek a little,' he said. In that same exchange with the media, Amitabh Bachchan revealed he was taking time off from work. 'I am free now. Kaun Banega Crorepati is over and I don't have any films at the moment. So I'm free, and I will now stay at home.' Abhishek, standing beside him, added that his father would now be spending more time at home to help care for his granddaughter. One of the most emotional parts of the day came when Amitabh opened up about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's strength during childbirth. His account offered a rare and deeply respectful glimpse into a personal moment. 'She had to struggle but I commend her that she was in acute labour for a long time, almost 2–3 hours. But she persisted and said she wanted a normal delivery. She did not use any epidural or painkiller.' Also Read | Amitabh Bachchan 'couldn't sleep for two nights' after Aishwarya Rai suffered 'terrifying' injury on Khakee sets: 'Akshay Kumar extricated her' What many are also unaware of is that Aishwarya was originally cast as the lead in Madhur Bhandarkar's much-anticipated film Heroine. Aishwarya had signed on to play the role of Mahi Arora, a complex and troubled Bollywood star. However, her pregnancy led to an abrupt change in plans. Once the news of her pregnancy reached the producers, the decision was made to replace her with Kareena Kapoor Khan. Bhandarkar later addressed the situation on his personal blog, explaining his reasons for letting go of the actress. He wrote about being caught off guard by the development, stating he was 'in a state of total shock and depression.' With 65 days of filming still left, the director said the timeline meant Aishwarya would be '6-7 months pregnant,' a reality that would alter the on-screen image of the glamorous protagonist and 'seriously jeopardise the plot.' 'The entire crisis would have taken a humongous shape had the truth not being unveiled when it was..' he wrote, reflecting on the impact her continued participation could have had on the production. At the time, the situation stirred significant debate in the industry. Speaking to the media, Amitabh Bachchan weighed in on the controversy, defending his daughter-in-law's decision. 'Everybody knew that Aishwarya was married when she signed the film. So you mean to say that actors can't get married or have children? I don't think this can be a part of any contract—that you cannot get married or have children if you are working on a project,' he had said. Ultimately, Amitabh confirmed that the matter had been resolved privately between Aishwarya and the director.

Angelina Jolie Chooses Quality Time With Kids Over A Big Party On 50th Birthday
Last Updated: Angelina Jolie has changed her view on ageing over the years and feels calm about growing older. Angelina Jolie opted to celebrate her 50th birthday on June 4 with a small and private gathering instead of a big Hollywood party. Jolie, who was last seen in Maria, decided that a quiet celebration was the best way to ring in her special day. The Eternals star reportedly spent time with her six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. A source close to Jolie told People that she 'seems genuinely excited and happy about turning 50. She doesn't want a big party." The insider added that 'So much of her 40s were rough. She's in a much better place now. The kids are amazing and thriving. There is less family drama." The source further mentioned that Angelina Jolie 'is embracing the idea of turning 50 and feels more grounded than ever. She's not shying away from getting older, in fact, she's leaning into it. Angie sees ageing in a really positive light, especially after losing her mom so young. She feels calm, inspired, and she's excited about what's ahead." The last ten years have been very difficult for Angelina Jolie due to her acrimonious divorce proceedings with Brad Pitt. After a long relationship, Jolie and Pitt tied the knot in 2014. Two years later, they separated after the actress accused her Mr and Mrs Smith co-star of being abusive to her and their six children during a private plane flight. The former couple were granted a divorce in December 2024 after an eight-year-long legal battle. During this time, Pitt found support in his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon. According to People, de Ramon has helped him stay calm and feel supported through the long process. As per sources, 'There's no pressure between them. She gives him space when he needs it, but is always there when it counts. Ines has brought a lot of peace into Brad's life. Their relationship has been easy and natural." Coming back to Angelina Jolie, the star was recently seen at the Cannes Film Festival in France, where she attended the Trophee Chopard dinner. She also showed up at the world premiere of Eddington, starring Emma Stone. First Published:
