New Delhi: Indian celebrities are garnering media attention for their attendance at the Cannes Film Festival. While we are swooning over their red carpet ensembles this year, some old pictures from the film festival have surfaced to bring back memories. 


Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who never fails to amaze her fans when it comes to red carpet appearances, was just as stunning at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. As pictures from the event surfaced on the internet, nostalgic feelings took over the fans. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan appear together for the very first time in the now-viral photos on the Cannes red carpet.






For this global event, Aishwarya donned a yellow saree and was accompanied by her 'Devdas' co-star, who looked dashing in a black suit and bowtie. At the renowned film festival, Sanjay Leela Bhasali's visually outstanding masterpiece got its world premiere. 


Taking to Twitter, a user named Shruti shared the photo as she wrote, “The number of Indian celebs at Cannes red carpet grows every year, yet no one has come close to the aura SRK and Aish created together over two decades ago." 






Fans rushed to the comments sections of posts when the pictures began to circulate on social media to express their awe.


















In the stunning hooded silver cape gown from Sophie Couture's racks, Aishwarya Rai made a striking statement this year. However, some people on the internet did not like this particular outfit.
