New Delhi: Bollywood diva Sara Ali Khan, who is currently in the beautiful French Riviera to represent India at the 76th Cannes International Film Festival, was also chosen as an honouree at the Red Sea Women in Cinema Gala, in association with Vanity Fair.
The Red Sea International Film Festival hosted the first 'Celebration of Women in Cinema Gala’ this week to celebrate visionary female talent both on and behind the camera from around the world.
Sara, proudly represented her home country India at this gathering that plays an important role in ensuring women's stories are showcased to as many people as possible while empowering a new generation of talent.
At the Gala, Sara was joined by other influential women in the Arab, African and Asian cinema arenas including Razane Jammal, Fatima AlBanawi, Mohammed Al Turki, Simone Marchetti, Tara Emad, Mila Al Zahrani and Jade Osiberu.
“I feel very very privileged. I'm a very proud Indian and I'm a very proud girl so I think that it's lovely that I can come here to this international forum and celebrate my Indianness and my Womanhood. While that's definitely a huge part of my identity, I think that in cinema gender doesn't matter, nationality doesn't matter. We all come together to tell stories honestly and I'm happy to be here with these lovely ladies that are here to celebrate that,” said Sara. (UNI)
