Following Vivek Agnihotri`s criticism of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan`s picture from the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and his condemnation of the use of `costume slaves,` writer Shobhaa De has made a sarcastic remark about the actor`s silver dress and even requested clarification. While numerous social media users expressed their dissatisfaction with Aishwarya`s appearance on the red carpet, many others defended the actor in the comments section of Shobhaa`s recent Instagram post.
Sharing a picture of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan`s red carpet moment in the silver gown by Sophie Couture, Shobhaa wrote in her caption, "What this is, plisssss (please)? Cannes (can) anybody explain???"
