Deepika Padukone, has been a regular at Cannes for the last few years representing make-up giant L'Oreal, but this year, she made her debut as a member of the jury.

The 36-year-old, who was present at the inauguration of the India Pavilion at Cannes, told ANI, "I feel we have a long way to go as a country, I feel really proud to be here as an Indian and to be representing the country."

"But when we look back at 75 Years of Cannes, I have said earlier also that there have been only a handful of Indian films, and Indian talent that have been able to make it and I feel like collectively as a nation today we have it."

Padukone, along with Hegde, Bhatia and Rautela were part of the Indian contingent. They were joined by actors R Madhavan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and music director AR Rahman.
