*NOTICE* If you have heard "rumors" of Aishwarya's demise, then please ignore them. It is simply 100% UNTRUE. It is one thing to write about her personal life, but it crosses all boundaries to tell lies about her life. Where is the morality?!? Whoever thought it would be a good "story" to write such nonsense I hope he/she/it burns in an eternal pit of fire, or at the very least gets sued.

*EXCLUSIVE* I've added 4 new Cannes-related videos. The first is a clip from the Provoked Press Conference, the next two cover the first Provoked screening with short scenes from the film, and the last gives a roundup of Aishwarya's appearance at the festival over the past few years.

Huge thanks to Kitts & Pawan for contributing these very insightful clips. Please note that some of the clips below which feature scenes from Provoked, contain some strong language:
