Sara Ali Khan, who is currently in the beautiful French Riviera as an attendee at the 76th Cannes International Film Festival was also chosen as an honouree at the Red Sea Women in Cinema Gala in association with Vanity Fair.

The Red Sea International Film Festival hosted the first 'Celebration of Women in Cinema' Gala this week to celebrate visionary female talent both on and behind the camera from around the world. Sara represented India at this gathering that plays an important role in ensuring women's stories are showcased to as many people as possible while empowering a new generation of talent.

Attending the event, Sara said, "I feel privileged. I think it's lovely that I can come here to this international forum and celebrate my Indianness and my womanhood. While that's definitely a huge part of my identity, I think that in cinema gender doesn't matter and nationality doesn't matter. We all come together to tell stories honestly.”

At the gala, Sara was joined by other influential women in the Arab, African and Asian cinema arenas including Razane Jammal, Fatima AlBanawi,  Mohammed Al Turki, Simone Marchetti, Tara Emad, Mila Al Zahrani and Jade Osiberu.
