Manushi Chillar, the former Miss World, is brimming with excitement as she prepares to represent India on the International stage at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. With her victory in 2017, she elevated India’s prominence in the pageant world, joining the esteemed group of women who have captured the coveted crown. Now, she is eager to shine a light on India’s cinematic achievements at Cannes.

Expressing her delight, Manushi shared, “ I am happy to see more representation from India at Cannes."

She remarked, "It is good that the numbers have been growing and there is more interest in this part of the world. I'm happy to see more representation from India."
