While I appreciate her achievements, I hope she uses this platform to showcase meaningful Indian cinema rather than just glamour. Cannes should be about art, not just red carpet appearances. That said, wishing her luck!

From Yeh Pyar Na Hoga Kum to Cannes - what a journey! 🎬 Remember watching her as Bittan years ago. She's come so far while balancing acting and business. More power to women who wear multiple hats with grace!

Interesting that she's working in Donali - Chambal's dacoit stories always make for gripping content. With that cast and E Niwas directing, it could be something special. Cannes debut is just the cherry on top!
