Apart from acting, her entrepreneurial journey has been nothing short of inspirational , empowering thousands of women with confidence and style.
Speaking about her Cannes debut, an elated Parul shared, “Walking the red carpet at Cannes is not just a personal milestone, but a celebration of every dreamer who dares to defy boundaries. I’ve always believed that passion has no limits, be it in front of the camera or behind a business. I’m proud to represent India, both as an actor and as a businesswoman, on such an iconic stage.”
Adding a beautiful personal touch to this milestone, Parul recalls her earlier visit to the Cannes, "When I was shooting for Made In Heaven in Southern France, visiting the iconic steps of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes was on my wish list. After completing my schedule, I took the opportunity to go there as a tourist. Being a cinema enthusiast, it felt magical even then. To now return and walk the prestigious red carpet as an official invitee of the Cannes Film Festival feels like a full-circle moment, a dream fulfilled,” she said.
