Kangana Ranaut has voiced strong support for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan amidst online criticism regarding her 2026 Cannes Film Festival appearances. Ranaut utilized her Instagram Stories to defend Bachchan, highlighting that fashion is a form of self-expression and that women do not owe anyone a specific aesthetic.
