Celebrated Bollywood star Aditi Rao who is luckily acquiring immense fame due to her unforgettable Gajagamini walk in the popular Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazar, has lately revealed the deeper purpose of her outstanding attendance at the prestigious film festival Cannes 2024, saying confidently: “My presence at Cannes was all about redefining beauty standards.”

In her first interview after coming back from the film festival, Aditi looked back at her experience, recalling her struggle to find a way towards self-acceptance and confidence. Aditi went to the Cannes Film Festival as a brand ambassador for the French cosmetic label, L'Oreal Paris.

“Representing India at the Cannes Film Festival is an immense honour and a moment of pride for me. Watching the icons walking the red carpet, the awards, and the fashion have always inspired me. So, to be a part of it myself is surreal to me. Cannes is not just a celebration of global cinema, but also a platform where diverse cultures and stories come together. I feel huge pride in being a part of the L’Oréal Paris legacy and the Cannes legacy itself which L’Oréal Paris has been with for 27 years,” Aditi says in the conversation.

As an Indian actor, I bring with me not just my talent but also the cultural heritage and storytelling traditions that define our cinema. Through my presence in Cannes, I aim to contribute to the perception of Indian cinema beyond the conventional narratives. I want to do my bit in highlighting the depth and diversity of our storytelling, the talent of our filmmakers, and the beauty of our diverse landscapes and cultures. Additionally, as a brand spokesperson of the beauty brand, I see it as an opportunity to redefine beauty standards and celebrate inclusivity on a global stage,”
