"I was not nervous (for the look at the Cannes) as it has been 15 years representing L'Oreal here. I have been a part of the jury here for two years or so and had come here for 'Devdas'.

"I belong to showbiz forever so plain dress up has become a way of life depending upon the occasion," Aishwarya said in an interview here.

The former Miss World was not bothered by the fashion police as she walked the red carpet at the festival.

"I am an actor by my career choice. I enjoy fashion and I treat it like art and I have a life, a family. So, I am not focusing on all of this. So it (look) doesn't stress me out.. It doesn't get me nervous.. I am a professional," she added.

Thanks to her hectic schedule, Aishwarya was busy promoting her film and could not get enough time to look at the wardrobe.

"I did not had the time to look at all the choices that the fashion industry was wonderfully keen on spoiling me with, because I was very busy with 'Sarbjit' promotions," she said.

"But within the little collection I had gone through I was prepared for some pieces that had come handy because when we come here it's just that we have to nosedive into the schedule that is pre-planned. But I am having fun with it," she added.

The 42-year-old actress jokingly said she keeps teasing everyone that one day she will walk in white shirt and jeans on the red carpet.

Aishwarya is celebrating 15 years of representing India and L'Oreal at the French Riviera.

"Sarbjit", a film about a sister's fight for getting justice for her brother, who is convicted and sentenced to death in Pakistan was screened at the 69th Cannes Film Festival.

Aishwarya, who is representing cosmetic giant L'Oreal Paris, turned heads at the red carpet event wearing a studded champagne coloured couture gown by Kuwait's designer Ali Younes.

On day two, she looked gorgeous in a red gown. On another occasion, she was also seen in a heavily embellished floor-sweeping, golden-brown coloured 'bandhgala' jacket.

New Delhi, Jun 20: Taking cues from her own experience, actor Deepika Padukone on Saturday emphasised that people suffering from depression cannot 'snap out' of the mental health condition.

Continuing with her daily practice of posting mental health messages for people struggling with depression and other issues, Padukone posted the recent message on social media.

"Repeat after me: You cannot 'snap out' of depression," Padukone wrote on Twitter.

Padukone had started with the series of mental health quotes after the sudden demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who committed suicide by hanging himself at his Bandra residence in Mumbai.

The 'Tamasha' actor started voicing her opinion on the importance of mental health through her foundation 'The Live Love Laugh Foundation' (TLLLF) in June 2015. Through the platform, the actor keeps launching nationwide awareness as well as destigmatisation campaigns.

Meanwhile, scores of comments followed on her latest post on mental health, where netizens too shared their take on mental health.
