Shah added that if she had been invited she would have felt good and proud. 

Shah spoke to Pinkvilla where she said, "Yes, Hina Khan spoke about it. I was also not invited but had I been invited I would have been very very hap𒐪py and proud to represent my country. Strangely, I was not disappointed. This was my first-ever appearance at the Cannes Film Festival and a different experience altogether."

The actress added, "I honestly didn't take it that way 'Oh, I was not invited and I am really upset and disappointed' but yes, if I'd gone to the Indian Pavilion on the firsꦗt day, it would have been a very great feeling.”
