Aditi Rao Hydari: My goal in attending Cannes was to redefine what it means to be beautiful.
At the just ended Cannes film festival, Aditi Rao Hydari made a stylish appearance, but the actor believes there was a deeper meaning behind it. According to the actor, it was more of a chance to celebrate diversity on a worldwide scale and rethink beauty standards.
Aditi reflects on her experience in her first interview upon her return from the Cannes film festival, recalling her personal battle to discover a path towards confidence and self-acceptance. As the French cosmetics company L’Oreal Paris’s brand ambassador, Aditi attended the Cannes film festival.
Regarding the Cannes Film Festival
“I am extremely honoured and proud to be representing India at the Cannes Film Festival.” My sources of inspiration have always come from seeing the celebrities walk the red carpet, the prizes, and the attire. I find it strange, therefore, to be a part of it myself. Cannes serves as a venue for the convergence of various cultures and narratives, in addition to being a celebration of international film. As someone who has been a part of the Cannes history for 27 years, as well as the L’Oréal Paris legacy, Aditi says, “I feel a great sense of pride in being a part of both.”
Aditi attended the international film festival for the third time this year. Her first appearance was in 2022. Aditi looked stunning on the red carpet in an elaborately stitched, hand-dyed organza saree.
She claims that it was “incredibly empowering” to represent the cosmetic brand at the festival. This season, “Many Ways to be an icon” was the brand’s Cannes theme.
It confirmed for me the value of having a strong sense of self and the strength of our voices. The performer, who is receiving great acclaim for her online series Heeramandi, says, “By attending Cannes, I hope to inspire other women to pursue their dreams and to recognise that they too can live their dreams, belong, and own their worth in the world.”
It’s a big deal to represent Indian
Aditi sees her appearance at the international film festival as a chance to introduce the world to the beauty and diversity of Indian cinema.
“As an Indian actor, I provide not only my skill but also the storytelling traditions and cultural legacy that shape our movie. I want to change how people view Indian film by being here at Cannes and not only via the traditional tropes. I want to contribute in some small way to showcasing our rich and varied stories, our talented filmmakers, and the splendour of our many cultures and landscapes. Furthermore, as the beauty brand’s ambassador, I see it as a chance to rethink what constitutes beauty and respect diversity on a worldwide scale,” she says.
She now wishes that her presence has sparked a “globally recognised representation of beauty that is more inclusive and diverse.”
In her quest for acceptance of herself
Aditi’s drive to speak out in favour of inclusive and diverse beauty originates in her private life. She has experienced perplexity and self-doubt while coming to terms with who she is.
“Being expansive and receptive to learning has been a key component of my journey towards self-acceptance and confidence. I am proud of and appreciate my individuality. Like many others, I have suffered in my own manner and experienced times of self-doubt and disorientation,” she says.
The actor goes on, “There have been moments when I’ve felt compelled to live up to expectations or to fit into a preconceived notion of what’s acceptable and attractive. But as time has gone on, I’ve realised how crucial it is to value my originality and acknowledge the beauty that is uniquely mine.
“A happy journey of learning to love and accept myself for who I am with the self-awareness of my vulnerabilities,” is how she describes it in retrospect.
As a result of this process, I’ve learned that genuine confidence originates from within, from accepting who we are in our truest sense and realising our value beyond appearances. The actress, who will soon appear in upcoming film lioness, concludes, “My journey has taught me the power of self-love kindness and the beauty of embracing our uniqueness.”

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”
In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.
What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”
This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”
Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.
Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.
When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”
“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
