Cannes, May 27 (IBNS): Critically acclaimed actress Fagun Thakrar was invited to the exclusive Variety Celebration of UN Women held at the 68th Cannes film festival. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Salma Hayek were also in attendance.
They all had a discussion on the subject of gender equality.
 
Both Aishwarya and Fagun were next invited to the premiere of ‘ Carol', starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.  
 
Aishwarya and Fagun’s presence at Carol, a film exploring feminine values through its two strong female protagonists continued to demonstrate their support for gender equality in cinema.
 
Acclaimed actress Fagun Thakrar is establishing herself as an icon of the Cannes film festival. Like Aishwarya, Fagun's presence at Cannes epitomizes elegance, beauty and class.  
 
It is not inconceivable that in the near future, Fagun Thakrar will join Aishwarya Rai as an Indian actress invited to be part of the Jury member at the Cannes Film Festival.
