The recently concluded 77th Cannes Film Festival saw India score big wins on the global scene. While several actors and filmmakers graced the red carpet and interacted with audiences following their films’ screenings, it appears that Huma Qureshi wasn’t too pleased to see that quite a few celebrities attended the prestigious event only for their brand associations. The actor, who made her French Riviera debut in 2012 for her maiden film, Gangs of Wasseypur, wrote on social media, “Cannes Film Festival is a film festival where art is celebrated for art’s sake.” She wrote, “I really hope some of these brands/companies that spend hundreds of dollars sending people who have nothing to do with films, instead now find a way to support small and independent films.” Congratulating the winners, Huma signed off, saying, “I really am so proud of all the incredible women who have brought home such glory. More power to them and to our home-grown storytellers.” Last seen in the third season of her web series Maharani, the actor has completed filming Gulabi and is currently working on Jolly LLB 3 with Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi.
