Cannes Film Festival 2014: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to Walk Red Carpet on 20 May
Glamorous Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will attend the 67th Cannes Film Festival on 20 May.
The 40-year-old former Miss World missed the first of her two scheduled appearances, due to an air traffic controllers' strike in France.
On 22 May, Aishwarya Rai and her husband and fellow actor Abhishek Bachchan will jointly attend the amfAR (The Foundation for AIDS Research) dinner together.
The actress' official spokesperson confirmed the news on Twitter.
