Freida Pinto will miss this year's Cannes International Film Festival
The Slumdog Millionaire actress will not be seen on the red carpet of the 68th edition of the prestigious film festival.
Slumdog Millionaire actress Freida Pinto, will not be attending the Cannes International Film Festival this year due to prior work commitments.
Pinto made her red carpet debut at Cannes as a brand ambassador for L'Oreal Paris in 2012. Scheduled to be held from May 13-24, other Indian ambassadors walking the red carpet for the global beauty brand include Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor and Katrina Kaif.
"Freida is a beautiful person and is truly a 'Woman of Worth'. Our Indian consumers wait to see Freida on the Cannes red carpet. It would have been a pleasure to see her join Aishwarya (Rai Bachchan), Sonam (Kapoor) and Katrina (Kaif) at the French Riviera, but unfortunately she will be giving the event a miss this year.
"We definitely hope to have her join the rest of the Indian ambassadors in 2016," Manashi Guha, general manager of global beauty brand L'Oreal Paris India, said in a statement.
While actress Katrina Kaif is all set to make her red carpet debut this year, Aishwarya has been a part of the festival for the last 14 years. Sonam on the other hand will be gracing the red carpet for the fifth year in a row.
This year the actresses will be seen sporting L'Oreal Paris' Matte or Gloss themed looks on the red carpet.
