There is a huge representation of South Asia at Cannes this year. After Indian beauties like Aishwarya Rai, Kangana Ranaut, Deepika Padukone, Huma Qureshi and Nandita Das making their presence felt at the French Riviera, it is now the turn of Pakistani star Mahira Khan to make her presence felt.

Khan is at the festival as a face of a beauty brand. On her first day at the festival, Khan opted for a saree in a pastel colour and combined with a heavily sequinned blouse which had a crisscross back.
Khan shared photos of her look on her Instagram page.

For media interactions and photo ops, Khan chose breezy ensembles which fit perfectly as she posed near the sea.
