Aishwarya Rai at Cannes: ‘So much is manufactured today’
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival 2026 closing ceremony on Saturday, days after making fans wait for her appearance. In an interview with Brut India at the festival, she advised young female actors to discover their own passion and be true to their choices, warning against the manufactured nature of today's world.
She said that the binary of right and wrong does not exist, and everything is part of a journey of discovery. Rai emphasised that young actors often miss the spiritual fulfilment of exploring their creativity because so much around them is manufactured. She urged aspiring artists to be curious like 'a student of life' and to be brutally honest with themselves.

For young Indian actors entering a crowded OTT and social-media landscape, the challenge is to balance commercial viability with creative exploration. The next milestone to watch is whether her Cannes appearance translates into fresh international projects for her.
