While I'm happy for her success, I wish our actresses would get recognized more for their acting skills rather than just red carpet appearances. Jacqueline is beautiful no doubt, but when will we see her in more meaningful roles?

Her white and silver outfit is giving me major princess vibes! 👑 So happy to see South Asian representation at Cannes. The Women in Cinema initiative is much needed - our industry still has a long way to go in terms of gender equality behind the camera.

Good to see Bollywood getting international recognition. But I wonder - when will regional cinema actresses get similar platforms? Our South Indian and Bengali film industries have equally talented women who deserve this spotlight too.

Jacqueline has come a long way from her Miss Universe Sri Lanka days to representing India at Cannes! Her journey is inspiring. Though I must say, I miss seeing her in dance numbers like "Dhanno" from Housefull - that was peak Jacqueline for me!

The Red Sea Film Festival collaboration with Cannes sounds interesting. Hope this leads to more co-productions between Middle Eastern and Indian cinema. We have so many stories that can bridge cultures. Also, June 6 - mark your calendars for Housefull 5! 😄
