Deepika Padukone Makes Headline With Her 'Pressure' Statement At Cannes Festival 2022

-

 


Deepika Padukone has done India proud by being called at the Cannes Film Festival. The prestigious originally French festival is considered one of the most popular one. Padukone was selected on the panel of judges where she went onto to say something that has left the social media buzzing, besides her 70s dressing look and bold dark kohled eyes that went along well with a Sabyasachi saree. 

She landed up saying, "We are here without the pressure of performance on stage." Indeed, the actor who has struggled at one point of depression was as straight as she could be, expressing in a few words how much stress and depression that actors can go through. 

The actor is serving on Cannes jury alongside actor-filmmaker Rebecca Hall, Noomi Rapace and Italian actor-director Jasmine Trinca, as well as directors Asghar Farhadi, Ladj Ly, Jeff Nichols and Joachim Trier. The jury will decide which film wins the Palme D’Or. 

She is one of the few actors who speaks truthfully and carries a grace around her persona as an actor, in whatever she wears. 

It made all the sense for Cannes to invite so many India actors as this is the year that Cannes Film Festival is celebrating Indian cinema. 

India has been chosen as the first ‘country of honour’ at Marche du Cinema.  Deepika said that she hopes that this time people talk more about Indian cinema and less about fashion. “I hope we realise that there is so much more… Of course, fashion is fun, it should be fun. And it’s also a very personal thing. But I hope that Indian media has learned from that last experience and realises that we have the power to actually change that narrative and talk about what a big moment this is for India. I think what we should be talking about is the celebration of India. The celebration of Indian talent and cinema,” she said.
