CANNES: Thursday evening, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan graced the Cannes International film festival for the 11th time.

Looking eloquent in a Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla emsemble, the new mother attended the AmfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala.

The actress confirmed that her daughter Aaradhya is accompanying her, but is not there at the event. "The baby’s here in Cannes, but not with me tonight, she’s doing well. I can’t complain about being busy with the baby because hectic is always being redefined in my life. It was easy to come tonight because I’m not making any films.

Aishwarya is to walk the ramp at Cannes for two consecutive days. Held at the exclusive Hotel Du Cap, over-looking the sea, Janet Jackson, Alec Baldwin, Kylie Minogue, Gerard Butler and Kim Kardashian are the other celebrities who attended the black tie event.
