Posting a black and white picture of herself clad in a sequinned Nicolas Jebran dress, Mahira wrote, "Oh Cannes you have a piece of my heart! Thank you for taking us in with open arms, you were warm and generous. I wish I could pen down my entire experience but that’ll be a long love letter for another time."

She did, however, have a few things to say. "As I sat in the car on my way to the airport I realised that I felt more empowered than ever before. And the reason was because of the amazing women that I met over the last three days."

She added, "All these talented women had one thing in common - they lifted each other up. They were supportive and kind. They had each other’s backs. And that is the only (if any) key to success. "


The Raees actor believes that is truly empowering to sit with fellow stars and talk about your wrinkles or growing children.

Speaking about her time on the red carpet, Mahira said, "It’s a relief when it is your first time on the red carpet with hundreds of people photographing you, to get a ‘you’ve got this’ from the girl whose done this like a dream so many times."
