Bollywood-cum-Hollywood actress Priyanka Chopra might not have been to Cannes this year, but she kept up to date with the 75th edition of the film festival. She shared regular updates, whether it was cheering for cousin sister Meera or cheering for the Asian talents who won at the festival.

Earlier today, Priyanka took to her Instagram story and shared a series of photos of the Cannes 2022 winners.

She hailed Shaunak Sen’s documentary Anything that breathes. For the layman, Sen’s documentary was India’s only entry at Cannes that year, winning the L’Oeil d’ title. The title is the highest award for documentaries.

According to the jury’s note on the official L’Oeil d’Or website, “L’Oeil d’Or” goes to a film that reminds us in a world of destruction that every life matters and every little action matters . You can grab your camera, you can save a bird, you can hunt for moments where you can steal beauty, it counts.” The award comes with a purse of 5,000 euros (about ₹4.16 lakh).

Referring to Priyanka’s IG story for the Cannes winners, it reads: “Cannes Film Festival 2022. Congratulations to all the winners of the Cannes Film Festival 2022. It is particularly heartening to see the recognition for all the strong talent from Asia.”
