Cannes Film Festival--regular Aishwarya Rai is expected to walk the red carpet this year again. Last night, Aishwarya was seen at the airport with her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, heading for Cannes. However, it was her right arm, in a sling, that left her fans concerned.
Although the actor kept quiet about the injury, fans took to social media to express concern in comments. Photographs and videos of Aishwarya and Aaradhya are presently doing rounds of the web showing the 'Devdas' actor with her right arm in a sling.
