Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has finally left for the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, and a viral airport video featuring her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan is creating massive buzz online.
In the now-viral clips circulating across social media, Aishwarya was spotted arriving at the Mumbai airport late at night with Aaradhya by her side. The stylish mother-daughter duo twinned in elegant all-black outfits, instantly grabbing attention. Aishwarya looked classy in a black blazer paired with matching trousers, while Aaradhya complemented her in a coordinated outfit. Before heading inside, the actress smiled, waved at paparazzi, and briefly acknowledged fans, a moment that quickly went viral.
What especially caught fans attention was Aaradhya staying close to her mother throughout the airport appearance. Social media was flooded with reactions like “Queen is back, Cannes starts now, and Aaradhya never leaves her mom’s side. Many also praised Aishwarya’s calm and graceful presence amid recent speculation about her absence from this year’s Cannes.
The buzz intensified earlier when fans noticed that Aishwarya seemed missing from initial promotional material related to L’Oréal Paris at Cannes, sparking rumours that she might skip the festival this year. The speculation led to widespread discussion online, with fans questioning the absence of one of Cannes’ most iconic Indian faces.
However, her airport appearance has now put all rumours to rest. Aishwarya, who has been representing India at Cannes for over two decades, continues to be one of the most anticipated celebrities at the global event. Her Cannes journey began in 2002 during the premiere of Devdas, where her traditional saree look became iconic on the international stage.
With her arrival confirmed, fans are now eagerly waiting for her red carpet appearance at Cannes 2026, expecting yet another memorable fashion moment from the actress often hailed as the Queen of Cannes.
