Deepika Padukone is at the Cannes Film Festival 2022. The actress will be representing India as one of the jury members. The festival commenced on Tuesday and will end on May 28. Over these 10 days, Deepika along with the jury panel headed by Vincent Lindon will be judging films. At a press conference held on Tuesday, Deepika was asked if she felt burdened by this task.
In a video shared on social media, the actress said, "I think we are all aware of the fact that it is a huge responsibility. But, I think, we have also made a promise to each other yesterday that we are not going to burden ourselves with that responsibility. I think the idea is to remind ourselves of that audience, or of that young child who’s grown up watching movies and been inspired."
Deepika further added, "I think cinema is such a powerful tool, such a powerful medium, it has the ability to impact people’s lives and touch and influence people’s lives. So, I think, for the next two weeks, [we must forget] that we have this burden and this responsibility and actually just enjoy the creative process, that's sort of what we are all here to do. I think we are all creative people. I don’t think any of us have the capacity to judge, or to critique, or to criticize."
