The French government will specially invite actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the Cannes Film Festival scheduled later in 2013 which will also celebrate 100 years of Indian cinema, a senior diplomat said.
Responding to a question, French ambassador to India Francois Richier told reporters here on Saturday that Aishwarya is always respected in France because of her association with the Cannes film festival. “She is very dear to our heart and we are very grateful to her,” said Richier, who had conferred the civilian award to the actress on behalf of the French government. “The Cannes festival will have a special focus on Indian Cinema where we will invite Indian filmstars,” the ambassador said.

It’s official! Men can’t decipher women’s emotions
New York: There may be some truth in women accusing men of not understanding them! Men have trouble reading women’s emotions from their eyes, according to a new study.
The research found that men had twice as much trouble deciphering women’s emotions from images of their eyes compared with those of men. To see whether men really did have trouble reading women’s emotions, Boris Schiffer, a researcher at the LWL-University Hospital in Bochum, Germany and his colleagues put 22 men between the ages of 21 and 52, with an average age of 36, in a functional magnetic resonance imaging scanner, which uses blood flow to measure their brain activity. — PTI
