Shabana Azmi Said What Everybody Was Thinking About the Cannes Film Festival

"Cannes seems to be a clothes parade," says Shabana Azmi! 

Amidst the hoopla around who wore what and how glamorous they looked on the Cannes Film Festival 2015 red carpet, the actress voiced a popular notion which people do discuss but never say it on record! 

She expressed her opinion over the whole trend of red carpet appearances at Cannes.

2day Cannes seems to b a clothes parade! Its a serious filmfestival guys not a Fashion event.Hw abt focussing on films n filmakers!

Shabana who has also been to the festival for one of her early films, shared her memories from the event! 

When v went 2 Cannes with Nishant in competition v only had 8USD each n publicity material didnt turn up. Shyam Benegal thot up a strategy.

The actress feels that festivals should be about the films we make and not the clothes we wear!
