Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri took to Twitter on Saturday to indirectly take a dig at all those who are making headlines for their fashion sense at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival. He reminded people that the event is about films and not a 바카라˜fashion show.바카라™Â 

In a fresh tweet, Vivek wrote, 바카라œDo you know that Cannes Film Festival is about films? I thought I should remind you just in case you were thinking it바카라™s a fashion show.바카라

Replying to him, actor Meera Chopra commented, 바카라œIts very sad, I said the same thing when I went there last year.. that it's become a fashion parade. Bollywood only talks about what you are wearing and where all you are being covered in media, to the extent that it becomes stressful. Believe me it's not the same for other countries. They've not gone crazy like us on fashion and pr!바카라

Meera Chopra had made her Cannes red carpet debut last year and in an interview with Hindustan Times, she said, 바카라œGoing to the festival was actually an overwhelming feeling because I didn바카라™t just go with some liquor brand, or just to walk the red carpet for nothing. I know there were a lot of people who were doing that. But I went there to promote my film, Safed, by launching the poster. But, now the whole exercise of getting dressed up, getting your pictures clicked, giving it out on your social media, has become cumbersome and tiresome. I don바카라™t know what purpose it serves.바카라

바카라œThe spotlight should always be on work more. But because of this madness, everything boils down to what kind of design and brand you are wearing? It is a very shallow way of thinking,바카라 she also said.

On Friday, The Kashmir Files director had shared a picture of Aishwarya Rai's first red carpet moment this year. He wrote, "Have you guys heard of a term called 바카라˜costume Slaves바카라™. They are mostly girls (a suited man in this case). You can see them now in India too with almost every female celeb. Why are we becoming so stupid and oppressive just for such uncomfortable fashion?바카라
