Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of the most gorgeous actresses in Bollywood, whose beauty, talent, and acting skills never miss a chance to win us over and over again. Aishwarya has always been the epitome of beauty and grace. She made her Cannes debut back in 2002, and rightfully won the title of ‘Queen’. Well, as she returned to Cannes 2025, people couldn’t stop talking about her red carpet look, which was in a white saree, rubies, and sindoor. No sooner did she walk down the red carpet, it sparked a deja vu of Aishwarya’s Cannes debut look, not only that, some even recalled her iconic role of ‘Paro’ in Devdas.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s look at Cannes 2025 make people remind of her iconic ‘Paro’ character
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s role as ‘Paro’ in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas always remains fresh in cinephiles’ minds. The actress’ looks in red-bordered-white saree, bindi, and sindoor, are something that people not only cherish but also resonate from the deepest core of their hearts. As soon as Aishwarya walked down the red carpet of Cannes 2025, in a white saree and maang-bhaari sindoor, people couldn’t help but walk backwards when Aishwarya made them go gaga with her role as ‘Paro’. As Aishwarya opted for a look that she generally doesn’t flaunt often, many people thought that this might be a reference from her film character only.
Well, it can also be a coincidence that it happened without much thinking about the linking factors given the white saree for both her current Cannes look and her on-screen ‘Paro’ look. Whatever it has been, one thing is assured Aishwarya dragged us down to the memory lane as she somewhat mirrored ‘Paro’s look at Cannes, at least some people believe that.
