Bollywood stars are shining at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan stunned in two standout looks- a dramatic black Gaurav Gupta gown with a metallic cape and a regal white-and-gold Manish Malhotra saree. Her daughter Aaradhya accompanied her. Janhvi Kapoor wowed with a sheer white saree, paying homage to her mother, Sridevi. Alia Bhatt who is set to make her Cannes debut was spotted at the airport in a chic Gucci outfit.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate fierce moms who’ve shaped Bollywood’s brightest stars. From Pushpavalli guiding Rekha to Madhu Chopra managing Priyanka’s global rise, these women are the force behind fame. Babita Kapoor and Hema Malini broke barriers for Kareena, Karisma & Esha Deol, while Amrita Singh, Bhavana Pandey, and Raveena Tandon continue to guide the next generation. They’re more than moms; they’re the ultimate star-makers.
