The French Riveria is all set for some Bollywood action. At the 64th Cannes International Film Festival that starts on May 11, actors Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, 37, Freida Pinto, 26, Mallika Sherawat, 32, and Sonam Kapoor, 25, will walk the red carpet. While Aishwarya will be making her te
nth appearance at the festival, Sonam will be making her debut. “This is my first time at Cannes and I’m sure it’ll be even more magical than what people say about it. I can’t wait to be on that red carpet!,” gushed Sonam, who like Aishwarya and Freida, will be representing beauty label L’Oreal.
It may be recalled that Sonam was dropped from the Cannes red carpet guest list in 2009, and it was reportedly at Aishwarya’s behest. Interestingly, the two actors will not come face-to-face during the festival. While Sonam will walk the red carpet on May 15, Aishwarya will be there for the opening and the gala party on May 11 and 12.
When asked if she’s excited about sharing the limelight with Aishwarya and Freida at Cannes, Sonam says, “All of the women are exceptionally beautiful and I’m quite glad to be a part of this group. But, I’m most looking forward to meeting Diane Kruger (Hollywood actor).”
Aishwarya, in turn, says she’s happy for both Freida and Sonam. “Several countries have always had more than one spokeswoman at Cannes and I’m glad India is finally getting the same recognition,” she says, adding, “I am happy that they are both invited.” Freida, too, is super excited. “It’s every actor’s dream to attend this festival,” she says.
