While several social media users shared their disappointment over Aishwarya’s red carpet look, many also came to the actor’s defense in the comments section of Shobha’s recent Instagram post.

Sharing a picture of Aishwarya Rai’s red carpet moment in a silver gown by Sophie Couture, Shobha wrote in her caption, “What is this plisses (please)? Cannes (can) someone explain???”
Shobhaa De criticized Aishwarya Rai’s Cannes outfit.
Objecting to the same, one of her followers wrote, “Shobhaji is still so impressed with Aishwarya’s looks… Let’s celebrate and applaud her for going/inviting there (Cannes Film Festival) every year.” Another said, “Madam, she is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She can wear a sack and make it look like a garment. The irony is that you are sitting in your pyjamas at Bandra Kurla Complex, tea in one hand and mobile in the other, judging all the looks.

Reacting to the post, entrepreneur Aishwarya Nair Mathew wrote, “Hey, it’s okay – they do them – you do… no one is the same and creativity can be interpreted in so many ways. I am not a fan of the look, but another Aishwarya maybe. So let’s celebrate it – instead of trying to understand it…”
A user also wrote, “As an image consultant, I would say this is sheer drama… although that’s not her kind of thing! Just trying to get attention!” Not a fan of the actor’s Cannes look, one person also wrote, “She has put on weight so this outfit covers it up and if you wear something quirky then make a big deal about it.” Written to scale so you stay in the news. Everyone will say your fashion game is on point if you wear something nice, and it’s forgotten.
