Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is a regular figure at the Cannes
Festival, had to face humiliation this time around. Actually, she was stopped
at the gate and wasn’t allowed entry inside. She was there to promote her
upcoming film.
Sanjay Gupta is the director of Jazbaa, Aish’s upcoming film.
Sachin Joshi is the co-producer of the film. There was media presence along with
the locals at the gate near the Indian Pavilion. All of them were eager to take
a look at the Indian beauty.
It is understood that the reason for stopping Aishwarya at
the gate was due to some security reason. Actually, the entry is allowed only
if the person has a Blue Pass and it looked like Ash didn’t carry one at that
time. The Jazbaa team had to be at the gate for around 20 minutes or so.
The reason for the goof up was the carelessness of the
promoters of the film’s event.
Satyapaul, who is the Indian Embassy Protocol officer, saved
the day for the beautiful Indian actress. It was later understood that the car
in which Aishwarya came to the event didn’t have a Blue Permission sticker. Naturally,
the security officer didn’t allow Ash’s car inside.
The officer was convinced that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was a
global icon and that the event management of the film would handle the police
in case the situation arises later.
