Cannes 2022: Helly Shah poses with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, calls it ‘fangirl moment’

Helly Shah, who is recognised for his roles in the films Swaragini and Ishq Mein Marjawan 2, marked her big Cannes debut this year. And the actor is in cloud nine as she also got to click a photo with her favourite actor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Helly seems to be gushing about it as she has her "fan girl moment." One of the photographs is from the red carpet, and the two actors are seen posing together. The second image was taken at a gathering held by the Titan Cosmetic. Aaradhya Bachchan, daughter of Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan, can also be seen in the photo.

Sharing the photograph on social media, Helly wrote: "Had a fangirl moment at Cannes. Got to meet the evergreen beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan."

The actor who had a big debut at one of the world’s most prestigious festivals was wearing a mint ensemble by Ziad Nakad for her red carpet appearance. She captioned her post, "Thankful and grateful. Debut at Cannes couldn't have been a better one.. Thank you L'Oreal Paris for making it the perfect one."

Helly Shah has been updating her fans with her regular social media posts about her Cannes trip. She arrived in a bright orange pantsuit at the French Riviera. "And it begins," she said in the caption.

Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wore a voluminous Dolce & Gabbana outfit with floral embellishments on the first day of the festival. The next day, she dressed as Venus in an outfit, designed by Gaurav Gupta.

In terms of Indian participation at the Cannes Film Festival this year, actor-producer Deepika Padukone is among the eight members of the competition jury, which includes prominent figures like actor-filmmaker Rebecca Hall and Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi. The actress began her jury service in Cannes earlier this week by attending a meeting with fellow members.

Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, composers AR Rahman and Ricky Kej, folk singer Mame Khan, and actors Nawazuddin Siddiqui, R Madhavan, Pooja Hegde, Tamannaah, and Urvashi Rautela are also among the Indian celebrities who are attending the international festival. India has been named the first 'Country of Honour' at the Marche du Cinema this year.
