Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone says she won’t be walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival in May as she is focussed on her upcoming film.

There was buzz that Padukone, who has reportedly bagged an international endorsement deal with cosmetic group L’Oreal, will represent the brand at the event.

Asked about whether she will be attending, she said: “Right now all my energies are focused on Padmavati.”

The actress, who last featured in Hollywood film xXx: Return of Xander Cage”, was attending the HT Style Awards in Mumbai on Friday night.

At the awards, Padukone interacted with her former boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor’s mother Neetu. She also congratulated her and her husband Rishi Kapoor for winning the Most Stylish Timeless Couple title.

“Today I was very happy to see Neetu ji and Rishi ji win. I think they have always been extremely elegant and so well turned out always. They are elegant not just in the way they dress, but even in the way they conduct themselves. So it was nice seeing them,” she said.
