"It is great to see the Indian film industry being celebrated and honoured on the occasion of its 100th anniversary at an internationally respected platform like the Cannes film festival.
This truly signifies the impact made by India on world cinema," said Aishwarya.
This year marks Sonam's third visit to Cannes. She will be present at the opening ceremony of Festival de Cannes May 15, and she will walk the red carpet May 16 as well.
She is "absolutely delighted" as "this is the first time I will be part of the opening ceremony".
