Purple lip colour

Back in 2017, Aishwarya shook the fashion world as she sported a purple lipstick for the final red carpet appearance at Cannes. Her bold look left the fashion fraternity divided between whether to applaud the actress for choosing such an unusual look or to criticise her for it. Though netizens poked fun at Aishwarya’s lavender-he lipstick at Cannes, her style went down in history as an iconic move.

Pregnancy rumours

Earlier this year, there were rumours doing the rounds on social media that the star is expecting a second child. When the actress was shooting for Mani Ratnam’s ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ in Puducherry with South actor-politician Sarath Kumar, his daughters had posted stunning pictures with Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan. Soon after the photos were shared on social media, netizens started speculating that Ash is pregnant since she was seen hiding her tummy by keeping her arm.
