Mallika said, “It is my ninth year at Cannes and the festival is one of the most cogent platforms to raise the issue of child prostitution not just in India but across the world. Being locked in a cage, I wanted to drive home the imagery of how young girls who are being trafficked are trapped in a small 12×8 foot room. These innocent victims have to live and survive without any aid. There is a woman suffering abuse every minute with no hope of any change. So I thought of doing my bit and raising awareness about an issue which needs to become extinct at the earliest.”
For her first appearance, she wore a lilac coloured Tony Ward gown with neatly hair-do and statement earrings to complete her look. For Day 2, she opted for a baby pink coloured outfit by Yolancris who has been a designer for Lady Gaga.
The actress is also the brand ambassador of the ‘School for Justice’ and shares a firm viewpoint on women’s rights.
