Shruti Haasan to be guest of honour at gender parity conference in Cannes

Shruti Haasan is slated to be a part of the round table conference at the Cannes Film Festival 2023. The discussion will be on topic of gender parity. Shruti will be a guest of honour at the round table conference, as per a news agency. The conference is titled Activating Change and will be hosted by the organisation Breaking Through The Lens. 

Shruti will be participating at the conference which will be aimed towards sub-topics such as women in the entertainment industry. The conference and discussions will also focus on solutions for creating more inclusive scenarios within the industry. The round table conference will also focus on bringing marginalised sections of the entertainment industry to the forefront. 

This is not the first time when Shruti Haasan will be at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2017, the Veera Simha Reddy star had walked the red carpet of the international film festival. That year, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also walked the red carpet at Cannes. The first look of Sanghamitra, which was a historical drama featuring Shruti, was also unveiled at Cannes Film Festival 2017.
