Singer-songwriter and rapper King created history on the fourth day of the 77th Cannes Film Festival by being the first-ever Indian pop artist to tread the prestigious red carpet.
Talking about the experience, King, known for his popular tracks 'Maan Meri Jaan', 'Tu Aake Dekhle', and 'Oops', said, "Cannes. Wow. It wasn’t just about me, it was about representing all the talented Indian musicians out there. Cannes felt like a turning point, a chance to show the world what Indian music can do."
Sporting a stunning silk jacket from the house of designer Anamika Khanna, King looked dashing and assured as he sashayed down the red carpet.
In his own words, King shared, "I wanted to wear an Indian designer and bring a part of my country along with me. The fabric and the work on my outfit gives you a proud touch of our talented handloom industry."
The lavish setting took a seat while King waited eagerly for the movie of the evening, 'Kinds of Kindness', ready to watch on celluloid as artistry met compassion.
