Aishwarya Rai at Cannes: Did Deepika Padukone drape her in a saree?

Aishwarya Rai is finally at the 63rd Cannes film festival in a saree. Though, she makes a hue and cry about wearing revealing clothes  in a Bollywood film, she doesn’t hesitate to flash her cleavages at Cannes.

And, despite being an ambassador from India, she has been lashed and whipped for donning western attires always and never resorting to an Indian garment. However, with Deepika Padukone as a competitor this time, Aishwarya’s western costumes were a tad overshadowed by the ravishing saree worn by Shahrukh Khans’ shantipriya from ‘Om Shanti Om’.

Aishwarya has been a regular at Cannes but 2010 makes it even more special as her task gets magnified with promotional campaign for her next big release Raavan opposite hubby Abhishek Bachchan.

A sudden display of a saree has made tongues wagging. Many feel that she is making a point after Deepika spat venom on her in a sarcastic remark. Some feel that Ash wants to retort back to her critics while some say she is making a point to Deepika and the media. And the general feeling is that her traditionally Indian character in Raavan demands that she showcases her Indian side.

Nevertheless, a feeling lurks in the depths of the mind, is Deepika Padukone to be credited for finally putting a saree on Aishwarya’s protesting body………
