Cannes 2024: Who Started The Dance On The Red Carpet? Chhaya Kadam Reveals
NDTV
"When we stood still for photographs, even the photographers started requesting us to keep dancing," said Chhaya Kadam
One of the most photographed moments from the Cannes red carpet this year was the jig by the All We Imagine As Light team at the premiere. It was a sign the film, the first in 30 years by an Indian director to be selected for competition at the gala, would win big, says actor Chhaya Kadam.,And it did. Payal Kapadia's meditative film about two Mumbai nurses went on to bag the Grand Prix, the second highest honour at Cannes after the top prize Palme d'Or (won by Sean Baker's "Anora").
"I am so happy I don't have the words for it," Kadam told PTI over the phone from Cannes.
The red carpet moment is etched in her memory, and in Indian cinema history. Kadam, who plays one of the three leads of the movie alongside Kani Kusruti and Divya Prabha, doesn't remember who started dancing first.
