Last week,  Anasuya shared a series of pictures summing up her experience at the 77th edition of the prestigious film festival. An excerpt from her caption read, “Outfit – quickly bought before the awards from a flea market at Cannes, because that’s how I do.” She also mentioned selecting pieces from fashion designer Arjun Saluja’s brand Rishta. Coming back to the images, in the first frame, the star is seen wearing a white outfit and some chunky gold jewellery. Next, she is posing alongside her co-star Omara and director Konstantin Bojanov. The last photo features Anasuya, on stage, smiling and living her winning moment. Take a look at the post here:

Anasuya received the trophy in the Un Certain Regard segment for her portrayal of Renuka in the film The Shameless. The movie has been written and directed by Bulgarian filmmaker Konstantin Bojanov. Talking about her winning moment, Anasuya told Hindustan Times, “I couldn’t believe it was happening! But as I shakily walked to the stage and stood with artists I have admired, my heroes, it felt oddly natural to be welcomed with so much authenticity and love by them. I am so grateful to the jury for seeing my hard work.”

The Shameless was screened at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 17. The film revolves around Renuka (played by Anasuya Sengupta), who manages to escape from a Delhi brothel after killing a police officer. In addition to Anasuya, the movie features Omara, Auroshikha Dey, and Rohit Kokate in pivotal roles.
