In her post, she stated, \u201cFashion and style is self-expression, reflecting one\u2019s own life and attitude. No woman owes anyone anything. Ash looks fantastic!\u201d<\/p>\n She further criticized those judging Aishwarya\u2019s look, urging critics to rethink the unrealistic standards often placed on women, particularly older actresses. \u201cIf you want to see her differently, show what you can do instead. She\u2019s not here to please anyone; she\u2019s fabulous,\u201d Kangana remarked.<\/p>\n Touching on ageism and representation at international events, Kangana added, \u201cIf you\u2019re unaccustomed to seeing older women on red carpets, it\u2019s time to get used to it.\u201d<\/p>\n Aishwarya Rai Bachchan marked her 24th appearance at Cannes this year, continuing her long-standing relationship with the prestigious event as a brand ambassador for L’Or\u00e9al Paris. Joining her was her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, who made her own debut appearance at a special gala dinner during the festival.<\/p>\n Aishwarya wasn’t the only Bollywood star under scrutiny this year.
