Anupam Kher says “unknown” Indians are now receiving the “highest honours” at Cannes, praising Payal Kapadia and Anasuya Sengupta.

Anupam Kher has talked on how content-driven films are becoming more popular. The seasoned actor talked about how “unknown” people are suddenly becoming well-known in an interview with News18 Showsha. He cited Delhi influencer Nancy Tyagi, who made a great red carpet debut at Cannes 2024.

Anupam discussed recent films that garnered recognition for their performances and storytelling, including Diljit Dosanjh’s Chamkila and Kiran Rao’s Laapata Ladies, in light of All We Imagine As Light’s Grand Prix win at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024. Content is crucial in today’s world, according to Anupam.

Though the audience has changed, it has always been that way. Actor Anasuya Sengupta and filmmaker Payal Kapadia, two unknowns, won the top prizes at Cannes. Take a look at what transpired. It’s incredible.

The actor said, “A Delhi girl walked on the red carpet stitching her own dress,” in reference to Nancy Tyagi. The globe has always been open to creativity, but this is especially true in India. Anything that doesn’t resonate with people doesn’t matter. You cannot make the audience feel smaller in order to dwarf them.

There were two Indian films that competed: The Shameless, directed by Konstantin Bojanov of Bulgaria, and Santosh, a police drama starring Shahana Goswami, from Sandhya Suri. The Shameless star Anasuya Sengupta made history by being the first Indian actor to win an acting award. The jury selected her as the Best Actress.

Furthermore, Chidananda S. Naik, a student at FTII, directed the Kannada short film Sunflowers Were The First Ones To Know, which was named the La Cinef Award winner for Best Short Film.

Furthermore, actress Sonam Kapoor, who is renowned for her fashion choices and numerous noteworthy Cannes red carpet appearances over the years, was impressed with Delhi-based fashion blogger Nancy Tyagi’s red carpet look at the Cannes Film Festival 2024, which garnered media attention.


Sonam praised Nancy, stating, “Best outfit in Cannes,” after choosing her homemade ensemble over Aishwarya Rai and Kiara Advani’s Cannes 2024 ensembles. With that, she asked Nancy to create an outfit for her, adding, “Make me something @nancytyagi__.”

Veteran actor Anupam Kher has lauded the achievements of Indian filmmakers Payal Kapadia and Anasuya Sengupta at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, highlighting the increasing recognition of previously unknown talents on the global stage.

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”

Raj Babbar and Smita Patil’s marriage

Smita Patil and Raj Babbar met on the sets of their 1982 film Bheegi Palkein. Raj left Nadira to marry Smita the following year. Their son, actor Prateik Babbar, was born in November 1986. However, Smita Patil died soon after from childbirth complications at the age of 31. Raj Babbar got back together with Nadira a few years later.

Juhi Babbar made her film debut with Kash Aap Hamare Hote opposite Sonu Nigam in 2003. She worked in a handful of films over the next few years before taking a hiatus to do TV. In 2023, she returned to films with supporting roles in films like Faraaz and Farrey. She is married to actor Anup Soni.
