Aishwarya Rai, who has been a prominent representative of L'Oreal Paris at the Cannes Film Festival for over 20 years, was noticeably absent from the brand's recent promotional posters displayed at Le Martinez Hotel. Fans quickly voiced their disappointment on social media, questioning why the actress, often referred to as the 'Cannes Queen', was not featured alongside other ambassadors like Alia Bhatt. Many comments highlighted Aishwarya's significance in making the L'Oreal brand popular across Asia, with some fans expressing that Cannes is synonymous with her presence. In response to the uproar, L'Oreal Paris acknowledged Aishwarya's status, calling her a 'living legend' and reassuring fans of her enduring connection to the festival. Aishwarya first attended Cannes in 2002 for the premiere of 'Devdas' and has since become one of the most recognized Indian faces at the event, known for her stunning appearances and contributions to L'Oreal's brand visibility in the region.
