But the latest news is that the beauty queen will attend the prestigious film festival that she has not missed since 2002.

Cannes will be held from 16 May to 27 May. There was even speculation that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will attend the event with her baby daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.

"Yes, Aishwarya will be going to Cannes this year. We can't confirm about Abhishek yet, but Aishwarya won't travel without Aaradhya for sure," DNA quoted a source as saying.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been representing cosmetic brand L'Oreal since 2002 at Cannes. This year will be her 11th time for her at the international film festival.
