CANNES: The maker of Provoked - Jagmohan Mundhra, threw a party to celebrate the movie on the rooftop of the Noga Hilton at Cannes.

Of course the star of the evening was the glam Aishwarya Rai who even dazzled the paparazzi and the locals in Cannes as she sashayed down the red carpet into the Grand Theatre Lumiere on Day One of the festival.

L'Oreal has strategically placed a poster of Rai close to the Palais promoting her own cosmetic lipstick colour Color Riche Star Secrets No 708. In fact Mundhra was quite taken aback on 17 May when he and his colleagues turned around to look at her poster when they went past it. Way to go Ash!

Meanwhile a star who had made it a point to be at the party was Poonam Dhillon who was dressed up in a lovely red sari looking extremely bootifull!
