Aishwarya Rai has lunch with French President in New Delhi

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan no doubt looked stunning during her meet and lunch with the President of France Francois Hollande. Not only Aishwarya Rai but her colleague and Josh co-star Shah Rukh Khan as well as Aditya Chopra from Yash Raj Films were also invited to the event.

Aishwarya Rai looked every bit the traditional Indian beauty, in her ravishing red Banaras sari and styled hair. The lunch was hosted by Francois Richier, France’s Ambassador to India. There was no specific agenda for the meeting, as earlier French government had told a news agency:-

“The Bollywood celebrities have been invited to have lunch with the President. It is a private event. They will discuss films,” they said.
