Medium shot Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on red carpet in pale pink outfit ASSOCIATED PRESS Cannes, France, 18 May 2023 3. SOUNDBITE (English) Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, actor: “Sometimes it's about being comfortable, sometimes about making it look comfortable. It cannot always be because some of the outfits are glorious, they're incredible, and they are kind of out of this world, as you'll describe it - and literally. So they aren't the easiest necessarily to be able to function on a normal evening. But it's certainly something that you could bring to life at the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, because, I mean, that's a glorious red carpet and glory can be brought to a lot of designers flights of fantasy there.“ ASSOCIATED PRESS Archive: Cannes, France, 19 May 2019 4.

SOUNDBITE (English) Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, actor: “Truly it's the work of all the designers and the seamstresses. They worked so hard. When they come in here for the fittings - you've got to see these little ladies, all of them at work. And they're just such experts. And they're quietly sitting in there working, putting it all together. Really got to applaud them for their workmanship and their artistic abilities. It's incredible how they bring it all together and make it work within the pressures of the time frame that they have to meet at the last minute with everybody here for fittings and things like that. So I had to begin with giving them all the credit and you know, then the team, the teams that work together, stylists come here, there's makeup and hair and everybody puts us all together. And, you know, it's so wonderful that the viewers, the audience, our well wishers world over enjoy and appreciate the outcome eventually and everybody's efforts.“ ASSOCIATED PRESS Archive: Cannes, France, 12 May 2004 4:3 FOOTAGE 7.

SOUNDBITE (English) Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, actor: “L'Oreal Paris and the Cannes Film Festival. They've been together now for 26 years. And for the two to meet on such an effective and positive platform like the Lights On Women Award is fabulous. And as a woman who works in cinema, I am very, very proud of the fact that more and more opportunities are being created collectively by the people in the artistic world and in the creative world, to come together and applaud and celebrate women in cinema. And this is one such, this is the third award this year. It's still a beginning, but it's definitely the got the intention of a long term collaboration.“ ASSOCIATED PRESS Archive: Cannes, France, 23 May 2002 4:3 footage 12.
