Popular actress Jacqueline Fernandez is gearing up to make a splash at the renowned Cannes Film Festival. Stepping onto the red carpet as a representative for a prestigious automotive brand, she has offered insights into her upcoming appearance.
“I am super excited to go to the Cannes Film Festival once again this year, this time in association with BMW and I cannot wait for it. It feels great to represent the Southeast Asian Diaspora at a global level, and it’s an honour to walk the prestigious red carpet where many legends have already walked,” she said in a conversation with ANI.

They will be joined by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Aditi Rao Hydari, both of whom are representing L’Oreal Paris. Deepti Sadhwani has already graced the red carpet this year, turning heads in a stunning orange dress. Meanwhile, Urvashi Rautela, also in attendance, has already shared glimpses from the French city on her social media, offering a peek into the festivities.
