Aishwarya Rai Bachchan – Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is at the Cannes film festival, to promote her upcoming movie ‘Heroine’. Aishwarya chose to wear an Elie Saab Couture gown for her first appearance on the Cannes red carpet this year. She looked really gorgeous with her sun kissed look and accessorized her dress with a Jimmy Choo ‘Cosma’ clutch.

Sonam Kapoor – Sonam Kapoor is at Cannes as the brand ambassador for L’Oreal. She wore a long white satin gown. If she would have worn something more fitted, she would have looked much better. Along with the dress she wore red lipstick which was not at all matching. She accessorized the dress with a Judith Lieber clutch and green coloured earrings by Chopard. Sonam’s dark circles were quite visible which proved that the make up was not at all enough.

Mallika Sherawat - Mallika Sherawat is making her third appearance at the Cannes film festival to promote her latest film, ‘Politics of Love’. The actress chose to don a simple and classy look by wearing a coral coloured dress. The colour looked really nice on her and there was great detailing done on her dress. She accessorised the dress with a Zagliani clutch.

Lucknow HC takes up bikini case as a PIL

An Australian model wearing a bikni with a picture of a Hindu goddess on it has outraged the community.

LUCKNOW/MELBOURNE: Taking suo motu cognisance of newspaper photographs of an Australian model wearing a bikni with a picture of a Hindu goddess on it, the Allahabad high court has decided to take up the matter as a PIL.

A bench comprising justices Devi Prasad Singh and S C Chaurasia directed that the matter be registered as a PIL of criminal nature and fixed the matter for May 10 after three advocates drew the court's attention to the photographs, saying they were intended to insult the religious sentiments of the Hindu community.

Meanwhile, the Australian swimwear company which triggered the controversy apologised to the Hindu community. "We would like to offer an apology to anyone we may have offended and advise that the image of Goddess Laxmi will not appear on any piece of our swimwear for the new season, with a halt put on all production of the new range and piece shown on the runway removed," said a statement.
