The French government will specially invite actress
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the Cannes Film Festival scheduled later this year
which will also celebrate 100 years of Indian cinema, a senior diplomat has
said. Aishwarya was conferred upon a civilian award by the French government
for her contribution to the arts on the occasion of her birthday last year.
Responding to a question, French Ambassador to
India Francois Richier told reporters that Aishwarya is always respected in France because of her association with the Cannes film festival.
He said that, she is very dear to our heart and we
are very grateful to her, who had conferred the civilian award to the actress
on behalf of the French government. The Cannes
festival will have a special focus on Indian Cinema where we will invite Indian
film stars, adding that Aishwarya would also be invited.
Aishwarya's French connection is a long one, right
from the time she has been endorsing a French cosmetic brand.
