Avneet Kaur Opens Up On Criticism Received On Cannes Debut: 'I Don't Understand Why...'

Avneet Kaur recently made her debut at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, presenting the first look of Omung Kumar's Love in Vietnam alongside Shantanu Maheshwari. Donning a stunning navy blue outfit, Avneet turned heads as she graced the red carpet with grace and poise. However, her appearance sparked mixed reactions, with some questioning her presence at the prestigious event.

Reflecting on the backlash, Avneet expressed her confusion and disappointment over the negativity. In an interview with News18, she shared her thoughts, saying, "It was the biggest news and everyone should be proud of that and take pride in that. If Taha Shah or anyone has gone there, it’s a great thing. People should be happy for that. He’s gone for his film, I think, and I went for my film as well. I went to release my poster."

Avneet continued, addressing the critical comments: "People do ask me, ‘Yeh kyun chali gayi waha? Iska kya jana bana?’ Ulta dekh ke khush hona chahiye (Why did she go there? What was the need? In contrast, they should feel happy). I don’t understand why there is so much negativity without any reason. Why do you need to spread that in the comments section?"

She emphasized the importance of support and positivity, especially when representing the nation on a global platform. "You could at least say something good about that person, make their day but they want to do all this! I don’t understand why they do this. I just feel this year has been a very special one for India to go to such a big global platform and represent the nation. So why not be happy for us? Nancy (Tyagi) has done so well. She was all over the Internet. We should all support each other,” she added.
