MUMBAI: It was an afternoon of fashion, beauty and bonding for L'Oréal Paris ambassadors Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Freida Pinto at a special shoot for L'Oréal Paris at Cannes. It is the first time that Aishwarya and Freida are working together. Freida Pinto was quite excited to be doing a shoot with Aishwarya and immediately got up to greet and hug her when she came into the L'Oréal Paris Glamour Room at The Martinez. Both immediately got chatting about the festival and in fact Aishwarya was also heard gushing about her daughter Araadhya to Frieda.

Aishwarya and Freida were both overheard discussing the unexpected delay in Aishwarya’s arrival at Cannes which resulted in her missing the first red carpet. Freida mentioned she was really happy to have gotten a chance to finally do a shoot with Aishwarya and couldn’t wait to see her L’Or Lumi?re inspired red carpet look.

Speaking about Freida, Aishwarya said, “I always look forward to meeting L'Oréal Paris spokespeople at Cannes every year. I have met Freida for the first time in person. All of us L'Oréal Paris spokespeople are so different, but each one of us is worth it.”

Both the ladies had quite the afternoon bonding over L'Oréal Paris and the Festival de Cannes. Freida Pinto attended the event on 17 and 18 May, while Aishwarya will walk the red carpet on 20 and 21 May.
