This year, you made your debut at Cannes. How was that experience for you?
This year has been very special for me. I had the opportunity to present our film, All We Imagined As Light, at Cannes. When we start out, we aim for good work, awards and recognition, but Cannes was never in my bucket list. It was thrilling to be there for the film rather than the glamour. It was also my first trip outside India, which made it even more significant. I always thought that only selective and fashionable people go there. When the opportunity to go to Cannes presented itself, I appointed a stylist and told her that I want to look good, different as well as comfortable. This was the first time that I travelled outside India, so this was very important for me.
We saw you guys spontaneously breaking into a dance at Cannes. It was one of the happiest images from the festival…
