Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif, who made her Cannes Film Festival red carpet debut last year, will be skipping the film gala this year due to prior commitments.
Kaif was at the event as the ambassador of cosmetic brand L’Oreal Paris
“Cannes is a fabulous platform for any artist to attend, and I really enjoyed the experience last year. While the brand invited me to attend Cannes again this year, I have had to regretfully decline the opportunity due to prior commitments,” Kaif said in a statement.
The actress is busy with Anurag Basu’s upcoming comedy-drama Jagga Jasoos, also starring Ranbir Kapoor. She also has Baar Baar Dekho lined up.
The actress added: “This has been an enormously busy year for me so far, and I am working on some amazing projects which are really keeping me on my toes. Nevertheless, although I will be giving Cannes a miss this year, I wish the lovely L’Oreal Paris ambassadors who will proudly represent India the very best and hope to attend next year.”
The Cannes Film Festival is scheduled to be held from May 11-May 21, 2016.
Indian stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor will be representing the brand at the event this year.
