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.

Take a look at what occurred in Cannes

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. They are accustomed to everything, including large cinema theatres, malls, and contemporary India. “Dekho hum apko Switzerland leke jaa rahe hai” is no longer acceptable. Well, that’s not the case at all. Agar achha hua toh choti film bhi chalegi aur badi bhi par content agar ‘Look, we are sending you to Switzerland’ ain’t no big deal. If a short movie is well done, even it can function. I believe that fakery is coming to an end.

Indians who dazzled at Cannes 2024

Payal Kapadia received the Grand Prix, the festival’s second-highest accolade, for All We Imagine As Light during the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival’s closing ceremony. It was an iconic moment in Indian film history. Additionally, the Un Certain Regard section prizes were revealed one day prior to the closing ceremony.

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 recently reposted Nancy’s Instagram Reel, which included her stylish saree ensemble.

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__.”

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.
