Cannes 2018: Mahira Khan’s red carpet attire stuck at customs. Will she make it?

Mahira Khan, who was signed on as the first Pakistani brand ambassador of L’Oreal last year, is already at the Cannes Film Festival. However, some five hours ago, Mahira announced that her red carpet attire is stuck at customs and asked fans to pray for her.

On her Cannes debut, Mahira had earlier told DNA, “Everyone keeps telling me, ‘this must be so exciting’ and I keep telling them that I feel like I am a player for a Pakistani team but I am playing alone. I am very grateful to be associated with this brand. There are so many international stars that have been representing L’Oreal at Cannes and I am on my nerves to stand beside them.”

Mahira’s friend and fashion designer Hassaan Kahn wrote, “Couldn’t be more proud to have a sister who continues to open doors for future generations of Pakistan women. To make them believe they can achieve anything they want if they truly believe and love what they do. When they go low, we go high.”

During a press conference, Mahira expressed that her only concern about Cannes was not to trip on the longest red carpet.

Meanwhile, the actor has been extremely excited about the film festival. Earlier, Mahira shared a photograph of Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger at the 1977 Cannes and captioned it, “Let’s do this! 💪🏼 #Cannes2018 ☝🏼Arnold Schwarzenegger at the 1977 Cannes Film Festival, where he presented the documentary Pumping Iron.”

She also took to Twitter and wrote, “My name is #Cannes and I’m not a ;) ❣️” Other celebrities attending Cannes Film Festival this year to represent L’Oreal Paris are Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother Sunny Deol was already the dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
