Aishwarya Rai played the perfect ambassador for the Bachchan family at Cannes as she used the red carpet to promote not one of her films, but her father-in-law Amitabh's blog.

Rajeev Masand: You just celebrated your first wedding anniversary and this time the whole family is here, your husband Abhishek Bachchan and your father-in-law will also be at Cannes. Is this an extended anniversary celebration then?

Aishwarya Rai: No, that’s not the way we regard it. It’s you all who are making these announcements. But it’s just about taking time out and being together. It’s just holiday time with pa and ma.

Rajeev Masand: After the critical and commercial success of Guru, you and Abhishek have been paired once again in Mani Ratnam’s film. Tell us a little about the film.

Aishwarya Rai: Well, that’s the way Mani likes to keep it. But am just glad that we are working together again because as actors we enjoyed working with Mani. And that I suppose goes with every actor in the industry.

Rajeev Masand: Your father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan’s blog has been attracting a lot of attention. Have you had the chance to see it? What are your reactions to it?

Aishwarya Rai: Have you seen it?

Rajeev Masand: I have and it’s very interesting. He seems to be speaking from his heart and it also seems as if he is talking about things he has been wanting to for a long time.

Aishwarya Rai: He is such an incredible orator. He is writing the way he speaks, which is completely from the heart. He is being very real about it. You cannot negate his experience or seniority. There is so much to learn unknowingly from him. You don’t go there to get a lesson but you just end up learning so much. You actually feel as if he is talking to you and it’s not a print piece to accumulate data.

Rajeev Masand: Okay, best of luck and looking forward to more excitement at Cannes.

Aishwarya Rai: Thank you.
