It looks like Bollywood beauties will be shining at the Cannes Film Festival this May. While actresses Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan and Mallika Sherawat seem to have become red carpet regulars there, this time they will be accompanied by actresses Sonam Kapoor and Freida Pinto as well. If gossip, doing the rounds two seasons ago, is to be believed then Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan wasn’t happy when the cosmetic brand she endorses decided to promote Kapoor, also a co-brand endorser, on the Cannes red carpet. And this year, all three beauties are set to make their presence felt in Cannes.

But for those who think that  Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan likes to hog the limelight alone at the Cannes, the light-eyed beauty insists that the fact of the matter is that she couldn’t be happier to be spotted with Kapoor and Pinto. She said, “I am happy that with Sonam Kapoor and Freida Pinto, both beautiful women being invited to the festival this year, India will have a stronger presence, which is a clear sign of the growing importance of the country.”

A source said that the news has made Sonam Kapoor very happy. She admitted, “It has always been my dream to walk the red carpet at Cannes and it is soon going to be a reality.” Freida Pinto said that though “it is every actor’s dream to attend this festival” she is most excited because she is also getting an opportunity to lend her support to an important women’s related cause while she is there.
