Aishwarya RaiCANNES, France (AP) - Aishwarya Rai is a household name in many countries. Now the Bollywood actress, who married fellow film star Abhishek Bachchan last month, is getting used to a new moniker.

''This is the first travel where people start calling you, 'Hello Mrs. Bachchan, good evening,''' Rai told AP Television News on Wednesday.

''I've maybe done a double take at times, but pleasantly so, it makes us smile, so it's been good,'' she said.

Rai, 33, a former Miss World, interrupted her honeymoon for a visit to the Cannes Film Festival. She is at the French Riviera resort as part of the team of models for cosmetics company L'Oreal.

She was in the audience - and on the red carpet - for Wednesday's opening-night festival screening of Wong Kar-wai's ''My Blueberry Nights.''

Once she is back in India, Rai said she will continue work on her latest film, the 16th-century royal love story ''Jodha-Akbar.''

Her screen credits include 2004's ''Bride & Prejudice,'' directed by Gurinder Chadha.
