The Cannes tamasha has begun and so has the string of controversies linked to it. But to begin at the beginning, as we all know, Rakesh Roshan and his son Hrithik are there to promote their film Kites, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan too is there as the brand ambassador of L’Oreal. And so is Anil Kapoor and daughter Sonam.
According to reports, Barbara Mori, the hot Mexican heroine of Kites is there in Kites as well for the film’s promotion. That should be enough to send tongues wagging about the alleged affair between her and Hrithik. Of course, Papa Roshan is believed to be going red in the face denying that there is anything going on between the two. Then of course, there is the rising star Sonam Kapoor. She may be just two films old, but she has managed to grab quite a few prestigious brand endorsements, including L’Oreal. It was reported that she would be walking the red carpet along with Aishwarya, who is the French company’s international brand ambassador. But it seems that Ash put her dainty foot down and refused to share the limelight with the newcomer. So Sonam’s plans of making a red carpet entry were nixed. Well, better luck next time Sonam. So while Abhi Ash made their red carpet entry yesterday, it seems that Hrithik and Barbara will be doing the same today. As for Sharmila Tagore, who is also in Cannes, she is too dignified to be a part of any controversies. Anyway, as is befitting her position as one of the jury members at this prestigious festival, she is keeping to her business.
