While in Cannes, Aishwarya and Abhishek stayed at the hotel Martinez, the haunt of the rich and famous. From its eminent position on the sea front, on the famous boulevard de La Croisette in Cannes, this chic, 1920s hotel has established itself over the decades as the flagship hotel on the Riviera.

By the grace of God, everything is wonderful," Usually media shy Ash said "It's all things good. It's a blessing and it’s a wonderful family," she said, going on to describe Abhishek as "superlative and fantastic".
