Reports claim that while at Cannes, Ash learnt that her Jodhaa Akbar co-star Hrithik Roshan and his Kites co-star Barbara Mori were staying at the same hotel as her and hubby Abhishek.

In a gesture of friendship (and in her spirit of a proverbial ambassador of India), Ash went up to Mori's room to say hello.

To her surprise, not only did Mori not reciprocate her gesture, she instead barely spoke for a minute and then excused herself saying she is late for a performance.

Hrithik, having worked with Ash a few times, realised that Barbara's indifference would have hurt Ash and he reportedly tried to make amends, but to no avail as the damage had already been done.

It's been a shocking summer for Ash.

Mexican babe Barbara Mori's first Bollywood movie Kites may not have hit the screens but she seems to have already learnt the nakhras of Bollywood. The hottie had no time to meet most beautiful woman in the world Aishwarya Bachchan at the Cannes Film Festival. Mori ignored Aishwarya after the later had desired to meet her at her hotel room.

Aishwarya had learnt that Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori were staying in the same hotel The Martinez as she and Abhishek and wanted to meet them. But Barbara who is not too familiar with Bollywood seemed not interested in meeting her. When Ash went to greet Hrithik and Barbara the Mexican hottie rushed out of the room citing she had to perform in an event.

This apparently left Aishwarya shocked and Hrithik Roshan her Jodhaa Akbar co-star embarrassed. When Hrithik sensed that Aishwarya felt hurt at this he tried to explain her the reasons behind Barbara's strange behaviour. Aishwarya is not having a great time at Cannes and had earlier had a fight with sonam kapoor over walking the red carpet together at Cannes.
