Actor-politician Khushbu Sundar reflected on India’s twin wins at the Oscars while speaking at Cannes 2023. Khushbu also walked the red carpet in a saree at the film festival, and took part in the India Pavilion event.

“Everybody thought the crowd won’t comeback to theatres. People had moved on to different platforms. But the Indians showed it’s possible because we dream big. We have the courage, capability and guts to do what we want,” she said. The Oscar wins of Resul Pookutty, A R Rahman, RRR (for the song Naatu Naatu), and Guneet Monga (for Elephant Whisperers) show that we Indians can make our dreams come true,” said the BJP leader, who was recently nominated a member of National Commission for Women.

Thanking the Information and Broadcasting department for giving her an opportunity to speak at Cannes, Khusbhu said, “This is just the beginning and India will soon be at the top of the world under the leadership of prime minister Narendra Modi.”
