Over the years Indian talent has not only brought Indian cinema to the world stage but has also helped to break down cultural barriers and promote cross-cultural exchange. Today I am honoured to be contributing in my own unique way to this exchange and making my debut this year at the festival. From making candles in a small town of Nainital to walking the red carpet at Cannes, I'm truly grateful and excited for this opportunity. This was a long-standing dream and I've finally ticked an important milestone off my bucket list," she shared.Actress Manushi Chillar will also attend the film festival, which will take place from May 16 to May 27.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
