Aishwarya Rai is expected to be in Cannes on May 24-25 to attend the L’Oreal Paris – amfAR dinner. Designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, who was rumored to be styling Ash, denies that he is designing Aishwarya’s wardrobe.

Designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee has shot down rumours that he is designing Aishwarya Rai’s wardrobe for the Cannes red carpet. “I don’t know from where this news is coming. I am not styling Aishwarya for Cannes red carpet,” Mukherjee told IANS.

It was reportedly said that the newly turned mom, who received criticisms from some quarters for her post pregnancy weight, will don a creation by Mukherjee during her appearance at the 65th Cannes International Film Festival.

Aishwarya Rai will be in Cannes May 24-25 where she will attend the L’Oreal Paris – amfAR (The American Foundation for AIDS Research) dinner that will help raise funds for the fight against AIDS.

In the past, Ash opted for gowns made by some of the international designers including Elie Saab and Armani Prive.  Source

Do celebrities have the right to lead normal lives? Aishwarya Rai’s post-pregnancy shape continues to be hotly discussed and debated five months after she gave birth. Ash and Abhi’s daughter was born on November 16, 2011. Much criticism has been directed at her for failing to shed the “oodles of weight” she gained during her pregnancy.

But some celebrities who have been associated with the 38-year-old Bollywood star, including designer Sabyasachi have rushed to her defence, saying that like any other woman the new mother will take some time to drop the extra kilos.

The comments came after pictures of the former Miss World emerging from a party hosted by eminent industrialist Mukesh Ambani in Mumbai recently. More

This news might just be what the fans of Aishwarya Rai have been longing to read from months! The hazel-eyed actress may well make a comeback with Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar 3!

Sarkar 3 will also feature Amitabh Bachchan, of course. If the buzz is to be believed, the movie will go on the floors this October as the script of the film is almost ready! And sadly, as we all remember, in Sarkar Raj, the character played by Abhishek Bachchan dies! Thus, the chances of him featuring in the movie are zero (unless there is some reincarnation; which we seriously hope is not the case)!

Earlier, it was said that Aishwarya Rai will make her comeback with either John Abraham in Happy Birthday or Shahrukh Khan in Bajirao Mastani! More

It has been confirmed that Aishwarya Rai will be attending the Cannes Film Festival in May. This year she is attending Cannes on behalf of L’Oreal and not for promoting any film. She has been the global face of  L’Oreal brand for a decade and being a true professional, she always honors her commitments to the company. Also, Mrs Bachchan is likely to travel with her five-month-old daughter, commonly known as Beti B. This will be the little girl’s second time abroad, after travelling to Dubai with her mother earlier this year.

The Cannes Film Festival is one of the world’s premiere film events and it’s a good opportunity for Aishwarya to renew her contacts with producers and directors from outside the Bollywood film industry.

Aishwarya won’t be the only member of Bollywood film industry walking the red carpet. Arjun Rampal and Bipasha Basu will also be there.

The Cannes Film Festival will be held from May 16 to 27 in France. Source

Strong buzz doing the rounds is that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is all set to make a big comeback in a movie opposite Shahrukh Khan.

The movie is said to be directed by Sriram Raghavan and is titled ‘Happy Birthday’. Initially, the movie was planned keeping Aishwarya and John Abraham in mind. However, the project could not materialize back then.

Now that his latest movie, Agent Vinod is all set for a release next month, Raghavan is now focusing on ‘Happy Birthday’. The movie might roll in November 2012.

Now, the main question is, will Aishwarya Rai give a nod to the project? Source

Grandfather Amitabh Bachchan, who is recuperating from abdominal surgery at the Seven Hills Hospital, had a special visitor yesterday.

Daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan dropped by the hospital with her 3-month-old daughter, still known as “Beti B”. We got exclusive pics of mom Aishwarya holding her daughter while coming out of the hospital.

This is “Beti B’s” first public outing since her birth on November 16 last year at the same hospital in Mumbai. Source

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who has largely been out of the public eye since the birth of her daughter on November 16, attended the reception of Bollywood actors Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’souza who got married on Friday.

Aishwarya, traditionally dressed in an anarkali suit, set off a frenzy as photographers covering the event rushed to click the one image no one wanted to miss.

Aishwarya was briefly spotted and clicked when the Bachchans hosted media mogul Oprah Winfrey at their home during her first India visit. Later, she drove with Oprah, father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan and husband Abhishek to a party hosted by Parameshwar Godrej to welcome Oprah. Source

Fans of the Bachchan family, who have been eagerly waiting to see what the newest addition to the family will be named, can now finally look forward to the event in the near future. Sources have claimed that Abhishek Bachchan will be naming the little bundle of joy after January 15, 2012.

It seems that the recently turned parents are waiting for the ‘kharwas’ period, which is considered inauspicious, to come to an end before they name the baby. Bachchan Jr was quoted to have said, “I haven’t figured the name yet. But I will lock it soon. Aishwarya and I did not know whether we were going to be blessed with a boy or a girl so we didn’t jot down names.”

Abhishek Bachchan however admitted that they want to settle for a name that starts with the alphabet ‘A’. “We have shortlisted a few, but its difficult to choose that one name,” the recently turned father was quoted to have said in a media interaction. Source

It has been a month since Bollywood diva Aishwarya Rai Bachchan gave birth to a baby girl and the Bachchans are yet to name her. They are still in search of an appropriate name for the new member of the family.

“I would let you know as soon as I have decided upon a name (for my daughter),” Abhishek Bachchan told reporters here at the promo of his latest flick ‘Players’.

Asked what was his feeling when Aishwarya gave birth to the baby, he said it was the most “indescribable thing that ever happens” to anybody. “No matter how good is your vocabulary, you can never get (proper) words of what you feel when you see the child… It is wonderful,” he said.

Replying to another question, Abhishek said his daughter resembled his wife and he wants her to look like the former Miss World. “Thankfully she (daughter) resembles her mother, but I have been told by the veterans that children’s face changes over time … I think it sounds better she looks like her mother,” he said.

Porn star Sunny Leone has been crowned India’s most googled celebrity, beating Bollywood divas Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

It is believed that her stint inside the Bigg Boss house has helped her to top the charts with fans searching for her five times more than Kaif, twice as many as Bachchan and nine times more than Kapoor.

Data collected from Google Trends reveals that her biggest fans are based in Noida where surfers have clocked up the most number of searches downloading photos and videos followed by Bhubaneswar, Ludhiana and Bhopal.

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who had met the star inside the house and offered her a role in his next film, Jism 2, said that he was not surprised by her popularity.

“This is not a sudden phenomenon. The world has a sweet tooth for sex and it has been happening since the dawn of time,” the Mirror quoted him as saying. More

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently became parents to a baby girl and while the Beti B has wrapped everyone in the family around her little finger, there is one member of the family who is not quite happy with the attention the new one is garnering.

And the member in question is Bachchans pet Great Dane. Amitabh Bachchan today said that his pet dog has been sulking ever since their bundle of joy has marked her presence.

Bachchan took to Twitter to share the piece of information writing, “Shanouk, my Piranna Great Dane feeling left out and sulking ever since the baby has arrived .. spending time with him now more often” More

Even as the hashtag #BabyB made its way to today’s trending list on Twitter, Bollywood stars joined thousands of well-wishers to congratulate the Bachchan family on the latest arrival in the family.

Shah Rukh Khan congratulated the Bachchans, as he tweeted ‘@juniorbachchan how beautiful is this feeling. Allah bless u and Aish. Dying to come & see the three of u…YAY!!!! Now u really r PA lov u.’

To Amitabh, he tweeted: ‘yippeeee!!! All love & health & happiness…this is Masha Allah absolutely beautiful. Bless u Sir. This calls for a dance!!!’ Source
