The Arth actress also shared some of her memories from the French Riviera who want to be part of the film gala with her critically acclaimed film Nishant, which released in the 1970s.
When v went 2 Cannes with Nishant in competition v only had 8USD each n publicity material didnt turn up. Shyam Benegal thot up a strategy.

The film, directed by Shyam Benegal, traced life of a school teacher and his wife with hints of the exploitation due to zamindari (landlord) system.
The actress pointed to the huge attention she garnered when she draped a sari for the festival.
