Cannes has been memorable experience ... never been about wardrobe
While Aishwarya Rai Bachchan understands the constant need for people to check out her clothes and accessories at important events, what the star actor cannot fathom is why her clothes at the Cannes Film Festival become more important than what she does.
"I don't even want to think about what people thought of my clothes earlier and what they think of it now. To me how I conduct myself at Cannes and how people react to me are far more important than what I wear," Rai Bachchan, who has been attending the prestigious film fest since 2002, told IANS.
"Cannes has always been a marvellous and memorable experience. This time was no different. It's never about the wardrobe for me. I don't focus on that at all," added the actress who went there for the first time with ‘Devdas'.
She reminisces about each year she has attended the Cannes fest, saying, "That was the year of 'Devdas'. That experience remains embedded in my mind. It wasn't just about how much they liked me in a sari or walking the red carpet. It was more memorable for the standing ovation that we got after the screening of 'Devdas'. What an ovation! It was a very special experience.
