Actress
Meera
Chopra
who
also
walked
the
red
carpet
for
the
Cannes
Film
Festival,
recalls
having
a
tough
time
while
sourcing
her
outfit
for
the
event,
because
all
the
Indian
designers
wanted
to
give
their
outfit
to
Deepika
Padukone
or
a
bigger
celebrity.
"When
I
was
sourcing
clothes
for
my
festival.
I
had
a
hard
time
because
most
of
the
Indian
designers
wanted
to
give
clothes
to
Deepika
Padukone,
or
want
to
close
a
bigger
celebrity.
Fashion
becomes
a
key
element.
You
want
to
put
your
best
foot
forward,
and
don't
want
to
go
wrong
anywhere...
There
is
a
lot
of
pressure," said
Meera.
She
went
on
to
add
that
she
was
so
anxious
that
she
could
not
sleep
for
three
or
four
nights
when
she
was
sourcing
her
clothes,
because
she
had
pressure.
While
sharing
her
experience
about
going
to
Cannes,
Meera
said
that
it
was
actually
an
overwhelming
feeling
because
she
didn't
just
go
with
some
liquor
brand,
or
just
to
walk
the
red
carpet
for
nothing.
"I
know
there
were
a
lot
of
people
who
were
doing
that.
But
I
went
there
to
promote
my
film,
Safed,
by
launching
the
poster,"
added
Chopra.
The
actress
agrees
that
being
present
at
the
Cannes
Film
Festival
gives
immense
exposure
to
artistes,
as
the
whole
world
is
watching
them.
However,
she
also
feels
that
the
whole
exercise
of
getting
dressed
up,
getting
pictures
clicked
and
giving
it
out
on
social
media,
has
become
cumbersome
and
tiresome.
"I
don't
know
what
purpose
it
serves,"
said
Meera
while
adding
that
for
her,
Cannes
was
all
about
connecting
with
people
passionate
about
cinema.
"That
is
what
was
more
important
for
me
than
to
just
look
pretty,
walk
the
red
carpet
and
get
clicked,"
concluded
Chopra.
