Deepika Padukone on being a part of the jury at Cannes Film Festival 2022: There is a sense of gratitude

Deepika Padukone has truly made a mark for herself in the industry and she continues to receive a lot of love for her performances, the work she does, as well as for her constant effort to break taboos around mental health. Time and again, she has spoken up about various concerns, and while at it, she has also made a name for herself at a global level.

As a result, this year, at the Cannes Film Festival, she will not only be walking the red carpet, but in fact, will also be a part of the jury. She made her first appearance as a jury member only recently, and in addition, she has also spoken about how grateful she is for the opportunity.

She said,

''After being an actor for 15 years for your work, to finally be recognised on a global platform such as this & to be able to represent the country, obviously there is a sense of gratitude & being extremely overwhelmed. I feel gratitude for being able to contribute in my own small way. To be able to put India on the global map. I don’t look at it as just a personal victory but as a much larger victory for everyone from our part of the world.''

Deepika has always been known for her fashion choices, and over the due course of time, they have only become more powerful, and bold. And while it will be interesting to see what does she do with her outfits this year around, fans are sure that it will be nothing less of perfection.

On the work front, Deepika is gearing up for Pathaan with Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham. Along with that, she also has Fighter with Hrithik Roshan, The Intern with Amitabh Bachchan, among others.
