Deepika recently revealed it at the HT Most Stylish Awards when was asked about her appearance in one of the world's most prestigious film festivals. "No right now. All my energies are focused on Padmavati right now," she said.

The cosmetic brand L'Oreal, which is an official partner of the Cannes film festival, recently added Deepika in their list of Indian brand ambassadors. Aishwarya and Sonam are winning hearts with their appearances at the red carpet of Cannes over the years, while Katrina Kaif was the brand ambassador for a year and appeared at the film festival last year.
