While I appreciate her success, I hope she doesn't get carried away by the glamour. Many talented actors lose their authenticity after such international exposure. Hope she continues doing meaningful cinema like Laapataa Ladies.

That black and gold gown was stunning! 😍 Fashion goals for sure. But more than that, I love how she's acknowledging her roots while embracing global opportunities. Perfect balance of desi and videsi!

First Laapataa Ladies, now Cannes - this girl is on fire! 🔥 It's refreshing to see talent getting recognized rather than just star kids getting all the opportunities. Hope this opens doors for more content-driven actors.

As someone who loved Laapataa Ladies, I'm so happy for her success! But I do wish the media would focus equally on all the talented cast members. Pratibha and Chhaya were equally brilliant in the film.

Cannes is great and all, but I hope she doesn't forget her Indian audience. We need more films like Laapataa Ladies that tell our stories with authenticity. International fame shouldn't mean only doing NRI-centric roles.
