Alia also spoke about her evolving definition of beauty, adding, To me, beauty is about celebrating individuality, confidence and self-worth. It's limitless, it's unique. I'm proud to stand with a brand that celebrates every woman's journey and empowers them to shine in their own light. Alongside her, we have the ever-graceful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, whose name has become synonymous with elegance and global glamour at Cannes over the past two decades. Aishwarya's timeless presence continues to captivate audiences year after year.

On the work front, Alia Bhatt is keeping busy with a packed schedule. She is currently filming Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War and will next be seen in Alpha, a spy film in the YRF universe, where Alia will be taking on her first female-led role. The film is slated for a Christmas Day release. With such exciting projects and the Cannes spotlight ahead, it's safe to say this is just the beginning for Alia and Aishwarya.
