Other than world’s most beautiful woman in the world, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, it is Mallika Sherawat, who is quite regular at Cannes from Bollywood.
And no one must be surprised to know that this is the fourth time the actress has been invited to the prestigious film festival. When asked is there any novelty left after visiting the French Riveria's cinema capital for so many years? "Each time is different! I can't tell you how excited I am to attend Cannes. It's special this time around," she says.
Mallika has been invited by AmfAR - The American Foundation for AIDS Research - a NGO dedicated to the support of AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment, education and advocacy. "It means a lot to me because my best friend has been living with HIV for the last 20 years. I've been following the work that AmfAR is doing and it's really commendable. It will be great to attend the event and learn about new discoveries in the battle against this condition," says Mallika.
However, it's not all work but also fun for Sherawat at the festival. "It's a great chance to meet filmmakers from all around the world. Also, this year there's so much Indian representation, with films like Peddler and Miss Lovely that will be screened. I am looking forward to watching some great movies."
Way to go Mallika!
