The Cannes Film Festival will continue till May 27 2007. Aishwarya Rai is now staying there for her contract with L'Oréal. IBN Live correspondent Rajeev Masand did an interview with Aishwarya Bachchan. In the interview, Aishwarya expressed her feelings about her marriage and her honeymoon. She thinks that in a normal girl’s life, honeymoon is the most enjoyable part.  Here is an excerpt of the interview:

Rajeev Masand: Now, you have been on a long holiday. It’s been the honeymoon and you have been a while away from home, haven’t you?

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: Yes, it has been fantastic. It’s probably the best time for any normal girl.

Rajeev Masand: Abhishek is here with you in Cannes. So, is he looking forward to walking the red carpet and just sort of living your life for these few day because Cannes Film Festival is really your home, isn’t it?

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: This is where you guys are troublemakers. You just sit and make statements on everything. We are together and it’s not about getting into whose life it is. We are together and we are not getting into judging things the way probably you do. We are here for a day-and-a-half and then we are going to continue with our holiday for a little while more before we get back to a very hectic schedule.

Rajeev Masand: Is this the longest that you have been away from home?

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: It’s really interesting but it’s probably the longest time off I have ever had. And what a time! It’s the best time to take time off.

Rajeev Masand: Do you feel married?

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: If this is what it is then it’s a fantastic way to be. It’s a wonderful place to be in and it’s happiness for sure.

Rajeev Masand: We are also going to see shortly your film The Last Legion, your English film with Colin Firth and Ben Kingsley. It released in Russia and it’s doing very well apparently. So, you looking forward to its release in India in August?

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: Yes, August for the rest of the world. For Russia they had already committed at this point of time. But it’s a wonderful feeling to see the film open this positively.

Aishwarya is now working for  Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodha Akbar a historical film. In August, her last legion will be released in India and soon she will start working for Sarkar-2 where her husband and her father-in-law will also work. It will be a big family event.

After lots of speculations and calculations the Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai have tied the knot. Age was a mismatch, horoscope was a mismatch, the Bachchans were not ready to accept Aishwarya as their bride. Many people including film personalities have different opinions. Despite all these odds finally they fell in love and got married and now they are enjoying their honeymoon. Let’s hope their love last forever.
