For decades, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been synonyms to Cannes Film Festival. The actress used to attend the event as a brand ambassador of cosmetic giant L'Oreal Paris. Having said that, this year, the brand didn't include Aishwarya when it unveiled its ambassadors at Cannes’ Le Martinez Hotel with giant posters. This didn't go down well with the fans, and they lashed out at the cosmetic giant for including Alia Bhatt and not Aishwarya, the one who seemingly brought fame to the brand in Asia. Now, the brand has reacted to the netizens' query.
