Deepika Padukone, on Wednesday, attended the inauguration of the India Pavilion. She said India is “at the cusp of greatness” and soon Cannes will be in India other than Indians marking their presence in Cannes.
Deepika said that she was very proud to be a jury member at the festival and mentioned that she never imagined she would scale these heights when she started her career 15 years ago.
