The 62nd Cannes International Film Festival kicked off in France with a host of celebrities attending it. Though Indian films are not competing this year, there is a strong Indian presence at the film festival.
Elegance
Among the first Indians to be spotted at the festival was legendary actress Sharmila Tagore, who is part of the Cannes jury this year.
Dressed in a saree, the actress made a pretty picture, as she posed with the other jury members.
It was good to see Sharmila carry herself with her usual grace. The elegance of this beautiful lady is second to none and I hope that the younger generation is inspired by her.
Hats off to Sharmila for maintaining India's dignity abroad.
